The purpose of this paper is to present the government-employee incentive program as a method by which government deficits can be reduced or eliminated, and government surpluses can be generated. Section 2 deals with the nature of the incentive plan, section 3 deals with the incentive chain in relationship to the plan, section 4 makes some remarks concerning the incentive program, and section 5 deals with statistics gathering under the incentive program. Section 6 makes some concluding remarks. The analysis begins by holding real appropriations constant. Government employees are given, in the form of additional income, a stated percent of the total amount saved out of initial appropriations. Each employee, in each incentive unit, receives an amount equal to the proportion that his/her salary represents of total salaries paid for that incentive unit.

The federal government uses incentive awards and quality step increases (QSI) to encourage employees to improve their work performance and, consequently, government operations, by recognizing work exceeding normal performance requirements. A questionnaire sent to federal employees revealed that many felt unmotivated by their agencies' incentive programs and believed that the workers most deserving of cash awards were often passed over. Other comments identified the failure of awards programs to increase productivity and the feeling that improvements in efficiency were not recognized with awards. An analysis of incentive awards programs revealed that some workers receiving awards were rated as below-average performers. These problems exist because agency programs overlook the following basic components: linkage to agency goals, systems for setting work expectations and measuring performance, motivation of managers to use awards programs, timely and relevant awards separated from the basic salary rate, and an annual evaluation of program results. Most employees questioned believed that an improved incentives system would improve their performance. In most agencies surveyed, GAO found an excessive use of the QSI as the most commonly granted form of cash recognition, rather than the generally preferable promotion. The Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 helps associate incentive awards and employee performance, although the Act provides only the framework for change; the responsibility for accomplishment lies with supervisors and managers.

Transparency in government operations is widely regarded as an important precondition for macroeconomic fiscal sustainability, good governance, and overall fiscal rectitude. Notably, the Interim Committee, at its April and September 1996 meetings, stressed the need for greater fiscal transparency. Prompted by these concerns, this paper represents a first attempt to address many of the aspects of transparency in government operations. It provides an overview of major issues in fiscal transparency and examines the IMF's role in promoting transparency in government operations.

GAO studied the concept of reward systems based on productivity standards to identify ways by which federal work-force productivity can be improved. GAO found that: (1) productivity-based reward systems have had positive effects on productivity in certain work situations, and there seems to be potential for greater use of the concept in the federal government; (2) current Office of Personnel Management (OPM) guidance on incentive awards for federal employees does not adequately cover productivity-based reward systems; and (3) some of the federal agency initiatives do not include key features of well designed productivity-based reward systems, while others include features or have had experience that could be helpful to the design and operation of other agencies' systems.

This book suggests practical ways to implement the recommendations and defines a research agenda for the future. Thirteen essays address the primary problem areas identified by the Volcker Commission, and the commission report itself is included.
