The Absolute

When deciding if they are fairly paid, people look at both the absolute amount of pay and the relative amount of pay. The relative amount of pay is determined by comparing their own pay with that of others. This study investigated the relative component of pay satisfaction for 143 municipal employees. Town employees were asked to rate the importance of 17 different pay comparisons which represented 4 broad categories of referents: external, personal, economic, and ego comparisons. The effects of each type of referent on feelings of pay satisfaction then were assessed. Results suggest that external comparisons may lower pay satisfaction while personal comparisons tend to increase pay satisfaction.

Volunteers are considered a core component of special events and they have proved to be an asset to the execution of special events. Although motivations of volunteers have received a great deal of attention from many organizations and individuals in the private sector, little research has been done on motivations of volunteers in the public sector, or within the federal government. Therefore, this article identified motivational factors that prompt federal government workers to volunteer at a government-related special event. A survey was used to gather data from a volunteer sample of 263 individuals who had volunteered for public sector special events in recent years. Exploratory factor analysis and t test were employed to establish motivations that stimulate public sector employees to volunteer for special events and further determine the differences in motivation between females and males. The results showed that government workers mostly volunteer for purposive motive and external motive. In addition, gender played significant roles on egotistic and purposive motives. Thus, this research provides a unique theoretical contribution to research in event management by advancing our understanding of the process by which factors associated with motivation can lead to federal government workers volunteering at a government-related special event; subsequently, impacting how event planners and organizers of public sector special events market to and recruit volunteers.
