‘The Use of Rewards in Civil Service Management’, written by Richard Boyle, is a discussion paper that aims to improve performance in the Irish Civil Service through the Strategic Management Initiative. It hopes to establish a framework for reward for the use of managers in deeming when rewards are appropriate and what rewards are available. It represents an interesting case study in how rewards in the public sector operate, without ‘the same freedom as in the private sector to introduce bonuses or offer “perks” like company cars and holidays’.

‘For Best Results, Forget the Bonus’ written by Alfie Kohn represents an amusing diatribe that may or may not ring true. Raises questions about current practice in the US.
