Abstract :
This study investigated the effectiveness of
Balanced Scorecard (BSC) on provision of quality
services in selected public organizations in Tanzania. The
objective was to investigate the effective of balanced
Scorecard on quality services in selected public
organizations. The study reveals that BSC tool is more
effective compared to previously used tools. Also, the
employee’s perception on effectiveness of BSC tool on
provision of quality services is positive. The findings of
ordinal logistic regression analysis show that the
effectiveness of BSC tool increases the likelihood of
employees to provide quality services. Further, extended
regression namely structural equation modelling shows
that the relationship between effectiveness of BSC tool
and provision of quality services is distorted by high level
of autocratic management style while not distorted by
rules, policy and regulations.
The study is strongly recommending that there is a
need for government and private organisations to adopt
BSC as an effective tool for provision of quality services;
There is a need of introducing transformational and
collaborative management styles in order to account for
quality of services; Organizations should continuously
enforce regulations, rules and policies; The study should
be used by decision makers to set standards of introducing
viable and vibrant performance management tools which
are result oriented and further studies on uncovered
areas on BSC to be undertaken in future.

This study investigated the effectiveness of
Balanced Scorecard (BSC) on provision of quality
services in selected public organizations in Tanzania. The
objective was to investigate the effective of balanced
Scorecard on quality services in selected public
organizations. The study reveals that BSC tool is more
effective compared to previously used tools. Also, the
employee’s perception on effectiveness of BSC tool on
provision of quality services is positive. The findings of
ordinal logistic regression analysis show that the
effectiveness of BSC tool increases the likelihood of
employees to provide quality services. Further, extended
regression namely structural equation modelling shows
that the relationship between effectiveness of BSC tool
and provision of quality services is distorted by high level
of autocratic management style while not distorted by
rules, policy and regulations.
The study is strongly recommending that there is a
need for government and private organisations to adopt
BSC as an effective tool for provision of quality services;
There is a need of introducing transformational and
collaborative management styles in order to account for
quality of services; Organizations should continuously
enforce regulations, rules and policies; The study should
be used by decision makers to set standards of introducing
viable and vibrant performance management tools which
are result oriented and further studies on uncovered
areas on BSC to be undertaken in future.
