    Hello. I am updating a 12 hour program, Improving Employee Performance,
    that I'm facilitating for Navy Civil Service supervisors and managers in
    early December. Quite often, and usually successful for discussions, I've
    used the Workforce Study referenced by Texas Instruments, done in the late
    70's. Then I updated this with the Study referenced in a Sept, 1993 Wall
    Street Journal - Loyalty in Work.

    I must go back and reread this study based on the first Civil Service
    group's reaction or irrelvancy for government employees to it. Not ever
    having such a reaction to the TI study or the more recent study with
    private organizations, or even some divisions of the Army here, I was not
    as prepared as I wanted to be with the first team. I am preparing more for
    the following sessions.

    My question: is there a recent study, government employees, that would lend
    insight about what motivates employees? Both the management and employee
    perspective? And where would I find a source for this? Any pointing in the
    right direction would be helpful.

    Thank you for any insight you have.
