Abstract

This study verifies public servants' perceptions of concepts of the strategy used in the public sector. A total of 804 public servants answered an electronic questionnaire containing 19 concepts associated with public strategy. Using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), the concepts were grouped into three latent conceptual views of public strategy, namely, 'stakeholder negotiations,' 'performance improvement,' and 'public commitments' factors. Thus, this study offers three new conceptual approaches to strategy that can help actors in the public sphere better understand how they can sponsor, contribute, or influence collaborative strategies within their sector.
