There are multiple pressures to rein back public spending, including pay. This is not merely a question of keeping the growth of the pay bill within affordable limits in the shorter term, but also of developing pay detennination mechanisms that can manage the momentum for growth in public sector pay over the longer term. Pay restraint policies must, however, be reconciled with other responsibilities of governments in their role as major employers. Promoting equitable employment practices and ensuring that the public sector can, over the longer term, compete effectively in the labour market for the skills it requires to deliver public services are also important policy objectives. The need for pay restraint and the need at the same time to manage a work force that is increasingly exposed to external labour market competition present a difficult challenge for policies of public sector pay. These conflicting needs have created pressures for change in pay systems in many countries. Other pressures are also affecting pay policies. Pay is an integral part of public management reforms, with important interdependencies with other elements of reform strategies. The trend to devolve more responsibility to local management is, to some extent, weakening the rationale for centrally determined pay scales and central controls. Internal management reforms have also prompted the public sector to look to the private sector for models of pay policy, particularly in terms of using pay as a tool for bringing about organisational change and for improving the performance of employees. Against these common problems and reform objectives must be set the diversity of the size and organisation of the public sector among OE. Seller Inventory # 1034429AB
