Government initiated its renovation plan named the “Country Services Management” act toward modernization of the public services and administration. One of the most important and controversial parts of the act is compensation system. It is claimed that in the current act, humane and motivation aspects are considered, and employees’motivation will be improved due to restoration of bureaucratic structure to achieve social justice. According to article 64, the act prescribes that “the compensation system of public section employees should be based on evaluating of occupations’ and employees’ factors such as job complexity, supervisory level, certificate, years of service and etc. and the results would lead to score.” Since the advent of organizational science, pay has been considered an important reward to motivate the behavior of employees (Taylor, 1911).In continuation, Research focused on determining how pay motivates employees used reinforcement (Skinner, 1953) and expectancy (Vroom, 1964) theories to suggest that based on an individual’s prior experience, if an individual expect to receive something of value if he or she engages in a behavior, he or she will engage in that behavior.
