The compliance–performance gap in public asset management at Party agencies in Dong Nai City

This study examines the gap between regulatory compliance and operational effectiveness in public asset management at Party agencies in Dong Nai City. The analytical framework integrates new public governance, institutional theory, the public value approach, and life-cycle asset management. Data from 116 valid questionnaires across six Party agencies were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Internal institutions and regulations (3.63/5) and inspection and supervision (3.56/5) received relatively high evaluations, while data and digital transformation scored lowest (3.06/5). Major limitations include the absence of shared asset-management software, inefficient asset transfer and utilization, and inadequate staff software skills. The study recommends data standardization, life-cycle management, prioritizing asset reallocation before new procurement, centralized software development, and risk-based inspection.
