Abstract
Whether performance in public administration is improving or not, it is not
governments only concern, too much emphasis on performance distracts attention from
organizational capacity and underlying government values. Thus caution should be exercised
on sources of legitimacy based on authority used during recruitment of personnel. Different
systems of authority attract different personnel who will perform or not. This paper discuses
three sources of legitimacy for domination based on authority and their limitations: the
charismatic authority, traditional authority and legal rationality.
