摘要：

Real basic salaries of civil servants in many developing countries have fallen during the past 15 years. Little is known, however, as to how the civil service personnel structure and pay system have responded to the salary cuts. Civil service basic salaries fell drastically in Uganda during 1975-1988. The adaptive responses of the civil service are identified. Allowances have not increased to cushion the salary cuts, as is alleged to have happened in many developing countries. The adaptive responses have had negative effects on efficiency and equity within the civil service. They have reversed the decline in the public wage bill, the raison d'être for deep salary slashes in the first place. © 1990.
