Salary and wage of federal workers.

There are a wide variety of factors that influence the salary and wage structures of federal workers (Daley, 1992; Lee, 1979; Matzer, 1988a; Nicolay, 1989; Ohren, & Reese, 1990; Shafritz, Hyde, & Rosenbloom, 1986). Among these are two fundamental issues. That is, the federal government is confronted with the need to provide sufficiently handsome salaries and wages to effectively recruit and retain highly desirable workers. In support of this fact, Lee (1979) and Matzer (1988a) report that all levels of government, including the federal level, must insure that both direct (i.e., salary and wage) and indirect (i.e., healthcare benefits and other benefits) compensation be sufficient to attract and retain the desired types of employees. The following is noted as relevant to this problem.

In attracting employees, a government competes in the labor market, not only does a government compete with industry, but it also competes with other governments. Individuals may be dedicated to working in government but are not necessarily dedicated to any one government. As a result, school districts compete with other school districts, cities with other cities, and states with other states. Competition also exists among levels. In any given locale there may be federal and state offices as well as city, school, and county offices, with all of these governments somewhat in competition with each other for personnel (Lee, 1979, 70).

The second fundamental factor affecting federal worker salaries and wages is that of cost versus funding. That is, Daley (1992), Matzer (1988a), Ohren and Reese (1990) note that, as the levels of funding for the various agencies of the federal government are Trimmed due to cost-cutting moves in light of reduced taxation and other revenue-generation sources, there is increasing concern about the outlays related to worker salaries and wages. In support of this fact, Lee (1979, 70) notes the following...
