The Pay, Promotion, and Retention of High-Quality Civil Service Workers in the Department of Defense

About this book

Critics of the personel and compensation systems in the federal civil service charge that these systems are inflexible and hamper the ability of civil service managers to attract, retain, and motivate higher-quality personel (Kettl, Ingraham, Sandres, and Horner, 1996; Committee on Scientist and Enginners in the Federal Civil Service, 1993; Johnston 1988).
