Nowadays the requirements for good governance under the pressure of global
development crisis become not only legitimate but even necessary. Good Governance
concept is relatively known in theoretical area, first of all in area of good governance
principles. Principles such as efficiency, transparency, efficiency and responsibilities
etc. are the basis of the concept of Good Governance. The second important aspect of
the concept is the procedural feature because the processes running (including decision
making) create a basic area for the application of the principles. The primary
research question is how Good Governance concept could be implemented in to the
practice for support modern democratic public administration. The procedural aspect
of the concept requires a direct connection with the new trends in public management,
which are influenced by New Public management. New Public management

managerial methods from private sector (including process management
and others). Good governance concept and New Public Management have been inspiration
for administrative reforms in many countries. The paper deals with the
possibility of using the process management in intraorganizational area in public
organizations for better governance in wider perspective. It’s focusing on analysis of
benefits of process management in the context of keeping the selected good governance
principles. Part of the paper is to analyse some of critical factors determining
the implementation of process management in the public sector in Slovakia.
