The government operates a variety of planning and evaluation systems to achieve overarching policy objectives and enhance administrative efficiency. Representative examples include the National Agenda, the Performance Implementation Plan, and the Ministerial Work Plans. Each government plan has different institutional backgrounds and policy functions. As such, its purpose and role are functioning as different government plans with a certain level of independent system. However, there is considerable overlap and duplication among these plans. As a result, several problems arise, such as inefficiency in administrative work, lack of consistency between plans, and disconnection of performance management. On the other hand, there is also an opinion that this overlapping and overlapping phenomenon was designed with intentional redundancy. The intended redundancy served as a positive function of securing competitiveness in decision-making and inducing policy innovation. In this context, overlapping government plans can be interpreted differently depending on the perspective on the function and role of the performance management system for government work. Therefore, this study empirically analyzed the consistency between government plans using the similarity analysis technique between documents. Based on the results, we propose performance management measures that reflect each plan’s purpose and function as well as ministry-specific characteristics.
