Abstract

Currently, the Ministry of Strategy and Finance operates performance evaluation of the IT projects of the central government. Recently, with the advent of the Digital New Deal and the Digital Platform Government, the budget for IT projects has significantly increased, leading to a higher level of interest in their performance. In this study, performance-related characteristics were selected through previous research, and an empirical analysis was conducted to examine whether there are actual differences in the performance of IT projects given respective characteristics. As a result of the analysis, new projects and others performed by departments or offices had a statistically significant positive effect on each final evaluation score. In contrast, IT support as well as fund-based projects had a statistically significant negative effect on each final evaluation score. This study suggests that when evaluating the performance of IT projects in the future, it is important to consider the unique characteristics of each project, as these may contribute to respective differences in performance.

1997년 정보화평가 시작 이후 평가 주관부처 및 평가방식 등의 많은 변화를 겪으며 현재 중앙행정기관 정보화사업에 대한 성과평가는 기획재정부의 재정사업자율평가가 시행되고 있다. 최근 정보화사업은 디지털뉴딜을 거쳐 디지털플랫폼정부 구현을 위해 예산이 큰 폭으로 증가하고 있으며 이에 따라 성과에 대한 관심도 높아지고 있다. 본 연구는 선행연구를 통해 성과 관련 특성을 선정하여 이에 따라 실제로 정보화사업 성과 차이가 있는지 실증 분석하였다. 분석 결과 신규사업, 처나 청에서 수행하는 사업은 최종평가점수에 통계적으로 유의미한 양의 영향을 미쳤다. 반면, 정보화지원사업과 기금사업은 최종평가점수에 통계적으로 유의미한 음의 영향을 미쳤다. 본 연구는 향후 새 정부의 디지털정부플랫폼 정부 구현, 공공데이터 개방 사업 등 정보화사업을 추진하고 이에 대한 성과를 평가할 때 사업의 고유한 특성에 따라 성과 차이가 발생할 수 있다는 점을 시사한다.
