Methodology for assessing the level of stability of the values of performance indicators of local authorities of municipal districts of the Orel region

The author defines the term «stability of the indicator values», interpreted as «the degree of dominance of the actual indicator values over the value of the indicator values possible to achieve» to reflect the reliability of the achieved level of the indicator for evaluating the effectiveness of local self-government. The problem of an adequate assessment of the level of efficiency of local government activities in municipalities is raised, an algorithm for analyzing performance indicators is presented, which is based on the mechanism recommended for the implementation of determining coefficients, parameters, elements and integral values of the durability of indicators; a scale of the durability of the values of indicators with the allocation of octants of the durability of the values of indicators and their corresponding levels of durability. The systematization of the transformed values of indicators is carried out to assess the level of stability of the values of management efficiency indicators with the allocation of economic and social components. The total number of indicators for analysis is 25; they are combined as part of 8 elements (the first 3 form the economic and the remaining 5 form the social components). The comparison of the obtained integral values with the scale of stability of the values of the indicators allows us to determine the level of reliability of the indicators. The value of the conducted research lies in a comprehensive assessment of the level of well-being of the population achieved by local self-government bodies of municipal districts of the Orel region, providing local residents with living conditions. The results of the methodology application indicate a moderate (the best indicators are in the districts: Mtsensk, Orel, Krasnozorensky) and mainly low (two-thirds of the districts) level of efficiency of municipal government management by municipal districts, and can be used as starting points for making managerial decisions.
