ABSTRACT=There have been discussions about public innovation based on the hostility toward the public sector’s huge role and awareness of the need to maximize its performance and efficiency. This study typologizes public innovation capacity in terms of the individual, middle manager, and organizational levels. This capacity is a precondition of the specificity of the public sector (generating public interest by providing public services) and universal value of HR research (creating performance). It provides the basic capacity within the public sector to enhance the quality of public services and create positive outcomes.
