Performance measurement, as a tool to promote the performance of organization, has been widely used in enterprises. However, it was also introduced to government departments under the influence of New Public Management theory. It can be clearly seen from the development history of performance measurement in western governments since 1970s that the research of performance measurement in the west has been shifted from the theory-focused to practice-focused. During the practice, the theory is constantly advanced forward. In the past several years the research of performance measurement in government in China is mainly concentrated on the introduction of theory of western countries, including the significance of its implementation and the value in reality and so on. But now the emphasis is particularly returned to the implementation. Through the whole application of performance measurement in reality, the key step is to design a scientific indicator system because indicators not only steer the efforts of governments, but also determines the constitution of other steps in the whole mechanism.In this thesis, a logic model about how to design the indicator system is conceived on the basis of looking back the history of related theory and practice of performance measurement in government. Based on this indicators are selected as the first round of indicators directed by the principle of systematization, quantitative ness and economicsmism. Then from theoretical and practical points of view the indicators are filtrated using the related statistics to form the final indicator system of performance measurement in Chinese local governments.
