The objective of this paper is to examine the perception of public expertise and its effect on performances in government. To this end, descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA and a structural equation model were used to assess the current perception of expertise among public officials and to identify the relationship between the components of expertise and the performances in government. A survey of 318 public officials in emergency management was conducted. The results of the analysis showed that the largest discrepancy between the current and desired level of expertise centered on knowledge and experience. SEM results showed that knowledge is directly connected with coordination and problem-solving. Second, although problem-solving is directly connected with coordination and individual performance, its connection with organizational performance is only through coordination or individual performance. Third, although neither knowledge nor experience is directly connected with the individual performance or organizational performance, they are connected through problem solving or coordination.
