Abstract

This article outlines the development and implementation of performance indicators (PIs) and performance funding in Alberta’s higher education system. Subsequently, the model of organizational functioning that underlies performance funding is made explicit. Finally, this article explores the effectiveness of performance funding at increasing goal attainment based upon the literature and our emerging experience.
