The statistical population consists of two groups of native and non-native managers in key posts in Stockholm province who were selected through proportional stratified random sampling. The required samples for the groups of native and non-native managers are respectively estimated to be 31 and 23. The indices of performance assessment are extracted through the meta-synthesis method and validated using the Delphi technique and experts’ opinions. By combining 360-degree feedback and analytic network process, native and non-native managers were appropriately ranked, which this ranking can be applied to administrative agencies.</span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><span arial="" narrow="" style="font-family:">Nowadays, the issue of public sector managers’ responsiveness to their actions in the new governance environment will be addressed more intensely.
