REPORT BY THE U, S.


General Accounting Office


Actions Needed To Enhance The

Credibility Of Senior Executive Service

Performance Award Programs



The Senior Executive Service--the cornerstone of
civil service reform--went into effect in July 1979
and with it a system of rank and performance
awards. The Senior Executive Service compensa-
tion system was designed to attract and retain
highly competent executives and to insure that
compensation, retention, and tenure are contingent
upon executive success, measured on the basis of
individual and organizational performance. Rank
and performance awards were designed to reward
outstanding accomplishments and performance and
to encourage excellence and higher productivity.

But the Congress, senior executives, and the press
have questioned the credibility and integrity of the
performance awards process--a vital feature of the
compensation system. To help insure that the
awards process operates as intended and contributes
to the success of the Senior Executive Service, the
Office of Personnel Management should take
actions to enhance the integrity, credibility, and
equity of agencies' performance award programs.
