Abstract

This article comparatively evaluates major theories on the issue of effectiveness in government. Having criticized the theories of people's satisfaction, relativity, systems and goal-attainment, the article presents the theory of voluntary-intentional action as a more consistent approach to explain government effectiveness. The general theory of intentional action and application of the general theory to government have been reviewed in this respect. The article ends with a comparison between the theorv of intentional action and other theories.
