The private sector seeks to attract skilled research scientists by offering high salaries. As a result, most research scientists employed in the private sector make 50% more money than research scientists with similar skills working in government departments. So, unless the government hires Of research scientists are driven more by a sense of public responsibility than by their personal interests, otherwise the government may lose its most skilled scientists to the private sector, because none of these scientists will be in the private sector unable to find a job. The assumptions on which the above discussion relies are:. ['Compared with the private sector, the scientific contributions of research scientists in government departments are difficult to be recognized.', 'Currently, no research scientist working in the government sector makes more money than research scientists employed in the private sector.', 'The number of highly skilled research scientists employed by government agencies is not as high as in the private sector.', 'The government does not provide its research scientists with very good working conditions or additional benefits that should be compensated for low salaries.']
