Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the effects of the pay disparity between the federal government and the private sector by examining: (1) attrition rates and recruiting difficulties in the federal scientific and engineering community; (2) attrition rates in other occupations; and (3) federal recruitment problems in general. GAO found that: (1) Congress introduced eight bills to establish special pay and personnel systems for certain agencies or groups of federal employees to alleviate inadequate pay and hiring and retention difficulties; (2) factors such as the state of the labor market, the particular occupation, and the age, sex, and education of employees affect attrition so that the occupation with the largest pay gap may not have the highest attrition rate; (3) chemists and engineers have large pay gaps but low quit rates, as compared to clerk-typists and secretaries, who have small pay gaps but high quit rates; (4) federal white-collar workers have a lower quit rate than those in the private sector because of the fact that they tend to be older and have more years of service and the lack of portability of civil service retirement benefits; (5) although the Department of Defense's overall attrition rate remained the same between 1977 and 1984, the rate for engineers doubled during the same period; (6) 7 of 10 civilian agencies surveyed in 1985 stated that they had significant problems in recruiting scientists and engineers, and the military services expressed concern about the quality and quantity of people they were able to obtain; and (7) civilian agencies attribute recruiting problems to the slow federal hiring process and to federal employment's poor image.

Book excerpt: " A careful consideration of federal pay is an essential part of fiscal stewardship and is necessary to support the recruitment and retention of a competent, successful workforce. Recent studies comparing the compensation of federal workers to workers in other sectors have produced varying findings. To improve understanding of federal pay setting, GAO was asked to examine (1) how annual pay adjustments for the GS system are determined; (2) the extent to which the pay increases and awards available to GS employees recognize individual performance, and how the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) provides oversight of pay increases and awards; and (3) how selected studies compare federal and private pay and total compensation and the factors that may account for the different findings. GAO reviewed legislation, OPM regulations, executive orders, and federal agency documents; analyzed OPM data; and interviewed agency officials. GAO reviewed six studies that met three criteria: issuance since 2005, original analysis, and focus on federal and private sector compensation. GAO compared and contrasted the differences between their approaches, methodologies, and data sources, and interviewed the studies' authors, people with expertise in compensation issues, and agency officials responsible for the data. GAO provided drafts to agencies and study authors for review and comment and made technical changes as appropriate"

This book was released on 2021 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Federal Government is attempting reforms and recruitment strategies to combat a two-part demographic challenge, the aging federal workforce and a more competitive market for younger employees. While many of these efforts focus on mimicking strategies from the private sector, a growing field of evidence in public management studies highlights the value of uniquely public sector principles that could help recruitment, retention, and performance. In particular, there is evidence from studies of state and local government organizations that employees’ sense of mission is linked to greater satisfaction and organizational commitment. However, this relationship has not been tested for the Federal Government population that has a wide range of sectors of public work. This study tested the promising findings about mission and its relationship to organizational commitment within the Federal Government and, for a narrower focus, the subset of Department of Defense civilian employees. To achieve this, this study uses the 2019 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey, which is a workplace survey administered annually to federal workers. The results of this study indicate that federal employees who do not perceive how their work contributes to mission are more likely to intend to leave the Federal Government. Beyond mission, the results support evidence from other studies that employee engagement and fairness in pay are relevant factors for employee commitment. This study makes a notable link of the importance of mission to the Federal Government population that could be a useful tool for federal managers to retain committed employees, the bedrock for administering many other federal policies and programs.
