Summary:More often a contemporary literature considers the importance of networks in the public sector. Public sector bodies are organized and managed as network structures therefore there is a necessity to measure them using analytical tools available for network structure measurement. This is especially difficult in the context of diversity of the public services delivered as part of different governance structures. The article aims at proposing a model of performance measurement of the public administration institutions. The authors of this article will concentrate on a study of existing public administration networks in its current form that is in the real sphere of its functioning. Network governance is responsible for establishing policies, while the public administration network is superimposed a duty to implement them. The authors will propose a theoretical model which is based on contemporary theories of management as well as elements of Balanced Scorecard suitable for public administration.
