Birgit,

There are government effectiveness measures by state at: http://www.pewcenteronthestates.org/gpp_report_card.aspx I used them in a study of the correlates of mean U.S. state IQ ( McDaniel, M.A. (2006). Estimating state IQ: Measurement challenges and preliminary correlates. Intelligence, 34, 607-619). States whose residents had higher IQs had more effective state governments. You might be able to adapt some of their measurement methods to government departments.

Best wishes,

Mike
