When discussing the clerk system and anti-corruption strategies,"***"This concept is often mentioned.
Many people believe that by providing high salaries to civil servants, they can effectively reduce corruption and ensure efficiency and fairness.
However, the reality is far more complicated than this idealized view, and the setting of civil servants' salaries is not only an economic issue, but more deeply, it is a political issue, the core of which is to consolidate the party's leadership and safeguard the people's will.
First of all, the income level of civil servants needs to be in line with public opinion, which means that their salaries are usually related to the local economic development level and the income level of the masses, and are generally at the local middle and upper income level.
In economically developed regions, such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang and the Pearl River Delta, civil servants may earn higher annual incomes to reflect the higher cost of living and economic level. In economically backward areas, such as Gansu, Henan, and Northeast China, the income of civil servants is relatively low.
This is set to ensure the fairness and reasonableness of civil servants' incomes and to avoid excessive wage differentials in areas with low economic conditions.
If civil servants earn far more than the local population, it could trigger public discontent and negatively affect the party's image and leadership.
For example, setting the annual salary of a county party secretary at one million is not too much to some extent, given the importance of his position and the amount of work.
After all, if it is not restricted, it is not impossible for a county party secretary to obtain millions of benefits in a year through improper means.
However, such a high salary system is difficult to sustain in the public, after all, for ordinary people, their monthly income may only be three or four thousand yuan, when it is learned that the annual salary of a county party secretary is as high as one million, it will undoubtedly cause strong dissatisfaction and psychological gap, and then affect the overall view and trust of the party and **.
Although the actual benefits of the county party secretary - including food, personal expenses, transportation, medical care and housing, etc., may be the total annual expenditure of nearly one million, these hidden benefits are often not known to the public.
In most cases, the public is more concerned about the salary on the surface, which is also an important indicator to evaluate the fairness and integrity of the public.
And this dissatisfaction is likely to lead to distrust of the people and even cause social instability.
Therefore, while raising the salaries of civil servants can be used as a measure to prevent corruption in theory, in practice it must take into account its relationship with public opinion.
However, the salary standard of civil servants should not be too low, mainly for reasons such as preventing corruption, attracting and retaining talent, and maintaining administrative efficiency.
Low wages may lead civil servants to embark on the path of corruption in order to seek a better life, or lead to brain drain and passive sabotage, which will affect the operational efficiency and service quality of the civil service.
Therefore, ensuring that civil servants have a reasonable level of income is essential to maintain the stability and efficiency of ** institutions.
In short, while many civil servants and the public support the system, hoping to reduce corruption through high salaries and strict punishment mechanisms, such reforms are basically difficult to implement at present.
February** Dynamic Incentive Program
On the one hand, the public may perceive that civil servants have already received stable jobs and benefits, and it is unfair to offer exorbitant wages. On the other hand, some** may oppose the reform because they have already benefited from the existing system.
The resistance that needs to be overcome for this kind of reform comes not only from the public, but also from the inertia and solidification of interests within the system. Therefore, in the short term, "the possibility of the realization of the ** policy is basically zero."
