The survey found that 72 percent of senior executives said it would be helpful for the government to offer salaries and other compensation similar to the private sector, but only 5 percent said they believe the government will adopt this solution. They are overwhelmingly in favor of making government pay more compatible with private sector salaries and modifying the performance review system.
