ABSTRACT

The pay system for government employees features seniority based pay by every grade, reflecting the rank in person system. However, in order to conform to general civil service reforms which seek increased openness and competitiveness as well as job specialty and competency, it is necessary to restructure the current pay system. The main purpose of this study is to investigate government employees' views of public service, and perceptions on directions of civil service reform and the current pay system. Design of the survey questionnaire involved not only a review of the pay related literature, but also expert seminars. Subsequently, government employees from departments and agencies of central government were surveyed. The results reveal that government employees regard public service as worthwhile but acknowledge a need for mobility in order to increase flexibility. In addition, the majority of respondents believe that it is necessary to enhance the expertise of government employees and openness in the civil service. Along with performance based pay, respondents strongly support pay based on the degree of difficulty and responsibility that their duties involve. Moreover, they support the separataion of pay grade increases from rank in person promotion as an alternative to the current pay system. Based on these findings, the study makes suggestions to improve the current pay system for government employees.
