Financial Strategy for Public Managers by Sharon Kioko,Justin Marlowe Pdf

Financial Strategy for Public Managers is a new generation textbook for financial management in the public sector. It offers a thorough, applied, and concise introduction to the essential financial concepts and analytical tools that today's effective public servants need to know. It starts "at the beginning" and assumes no prior knowledge or experience in financial management. Throughout the text, Kioko and Marlowe emphasize how financial information can and should inform every aspect of public sector strategy, from routine procurement decisions to budget preparation to program design to major new policy initiatives. They draw upon dozens of real-world examples, cases, and applied problems to bring that relationship between information and strategy to life. Unlike other public financial management texts, the authors also integrate foundational principles across the government, non-profit, and "hybrid/for-benefit" sectors. Coverage includes basic principles of accounting and financial reporting, preparing and analyzing financial statements, cost analysis, and the process and politics of budget preparation. The text also includes several large case studies appropriate for class discussion and/or graded assignments.

Compensation in Canada by Mark Daniel,William E. A. Robinson,Conference Board in Canada. Compensation Research Centre Pdf

From the Executive Summary: The purpose of this study is to compare the levels of compensation, and the changes over time in those levels, in the public and private sectors. It is believed that this study makes a unique contribution to the public discussion by focusing on compensation comparisons for specific occupations in the public and private sectors and by distinguishing among the different levels of government and the various quasi-government agencies in the public sector. This report presents an analysis of the level of compensation for similar jobs in the public and private sectors as well as an investigation of the changes in salaries for positions that are unique to a particular sector. In addition to comparing annual salaries over time and hourly rates of pay as of mid-1978, the non-wage benefits in a number of public sectors and the private sector are studied.

Private Pay for Public Work by Robert Wood,Maria Maguire Pdf

This publication reviews performance pay schemes covering middle management and senior management levels in departments and agencies of central government and also looks at, on a selective basis, schemes for managers in other parts of the public sector. The objectives of the study were to investigate why performance-related pay schemes are being introduced at management levels in the public sector, to examine how these schemes operate, to assess whether the schemes are meeting their stated objectives, and to see whether and under what conditions performance pay can operate successfully in public sector settings.

Top Pay in the Public Sector by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Public Administration Select Committee Pdf

This report calls for a Top Pay Commission to 'name and shame' public sector organisations that pay excessive salaries to their top officials. The Commission would produce principles and benchmarks to be followed by pay setters and would be able to launch investigations where these were breached. PASC believes a Top Pay Commission would ensure greater coherence to the setting of top pay across the public sector. PASC concludes that massive increases in private sector executive salaries over the last ten years have led to smaller, but sometimes still very large, increases at the top of the public sector. This 'contagion effect' has meant that the highest salaries in both sectors have increased much faster than average earnings. PASC also identified a number of weaknesses with current arrangements for setting pay in the public sector. These include variable levels of transparency, tensions between devolved and centralised pay setting systems, a perception that some public servants have been rewarded for failure and a tendency for some parts of the public sector to compete against others for a small number of experienced candidates, rather than growing talent internally. Some of the Committee's other key recommendations include: a call for better human resource management across the public sector, to ensure talent is promoted from within and failure is not rewarded; recommendations that would lead to publication of salaries and bonuses across the public sector more in line with the requirements placed on listed companies; and a proposal to ensure all public sector executive reward packages are drawn up either by independent bodies or remuneration committees with a majority of independent members

When Public Sector Workers Unionize by Richard B. Freeman,Casey Ichniowski Pdf

In the 1980s, public sector unionism has become the most vibrant component of the American labor movement. What does this new "look" of organized labor mean for the economy? Do labor-management relations in the public sector mirror patterns in the private, or do they introduce a novel paradigm onto the labor scene? What can the private sector learn from the success of collective bargaining in the public? Contributors to When Public Sector Workers Unionize—which was developed from the NBER's program on labor studies—examine these and other questions using newly collected data on public sector labor laws, labor relations practices of state and local governments, and labor market outcomes. Topics considered include the role, effect, and evolution of public sector labor law and the effects that public sector bargaining has on both wage and nonwage issues. Several themes emerge from the studies in this volume. Most important, public sector labor law has a strong and pervasive effect on bargaining and on wage and employment outcomes in public sector labor markets. Also, public sector unionism affects the economy in ways that are different from, and in many cases opposite to, the ways private sector unionism does, appearing to stimulate rather than reduce employment, reducing rather than increasing layoff rates, and developing innovate ways to settle labor disputes such as compulsory interest arbitration instead of strikes and lockouts found in the private sector.

Employment and Wages in the Public Sector by International Monetary Fund Pdf

We study the determinants of employment and wages in the public sector, using a new set of panel data for 34 LDCs and 21 OECD countries from 1972–992, by estimating equations suggested by an efficiency wage model. We find that government employment is positively associated with the relaxation of resource constraints (the revenue-to-GDP ratio and foreign financing in the case of developing countries and GDP per capita in the case of OECD countries), urbanization, the level of education, and certain countercyclical pressures for government hiring (the real effective exchange rate for developing countries and private employment for OECD countries). Certain measures of government wages are positively associated with government revenues and negatively associated with the level of education, government debt, and countercyclical pressures.
