    Abstract:
    Reports interviews with workers and managers in two organizations, concerning the relationship between effort and performance at work. The findings show that a high proportion of those interviewed reported working longer than their contractual weekly hours without receiving extra payment and that respondents had a commitment to completing their work within the deadlines imposed. Effort was seen as coming from imposed job pressures, not conscious decisions by staff to achieve self‐determined goals. Managers tended to be unhappy about the poor relationship between their work effort and their performance outputs. Workers doing routine jobs, however, had difficulty in saying whether their time at work was spent effectively. Discusses implications for quality of service and standards of work.

    Work results depend upon employees’ material interest – work payment, i.e. upon monetary payment for the carried out work. One of the main problems is to choose proper payment for work principles. Payment for work should correspond to every employee’s input when trying to attain enterprise’s objects and it should motivate the more thorough use of human potential. Having carried out investigations it was defined that very often the rational payment for work principle – the dependence between working results and payment – is being contravened. Investigation results and planned measures for the solution of present problems are discussed in the article.

    Providing payment to those who participate is common practice for research studies involving both children and adults. While there may be good reasons for providing payment for research participation, there are also reasons to be concerned about the practice, especially when the subjects are children and the payment has the potential to distort parental decision-making by tempting parents to consider issues other than the welfare of their child. This chapter examines the ethical implications of providing payment to children and their parents for participation in research. After a brief survey of current practices regarding payments to research participants, the chapter will examine the distinct kinds of payments offered to research participants and their parents (Those intended to reimburse expenses and those intended to induce participation), evaluate the ethical considerations relevant to each kind of payment, and make some final recommendations concerning the provision of payments for research involving children.
    The article discusses issues related to the suspension of special social payments for work with COVID‑19 and their replacement with compensation payments. Problems such as the procedure for completing existing payments, lists of employees who are subject to compensation payments, measures that need to be taken by medical organizations in a new situation are considered.
    Agri-environmental payments (AEP) have been implemented for more than ten years and considered as a primary agri-enviromental policy in Japan. However, program enrollment is close to its peak due partly to budget limitation and rigid payment scheme. It might be possible to increase program participation by introducing some flexible payment schemes. This study investigates the effects of different bonus (extra payment) payments on farmers acceptance decisions of the AEP in Japan. To achieve this objective, we conducted a survey for 576 rice farmers in four prefectures (Akita, Fukui, Shiga, and Shimane). We introduced three hypothetical bonus payments (scale, acquisition, and adjacency) and asked farmers about their possible acceptance. Farmers responses were then used to derive their minimum acceptable bonus levels. Our results show that farmers are quite responsive to scale and adjacency bonus payments, but not to acquisition bonus. Our results also show that there is significant variation in minimum acceptable bonus, reflecting considerable heterogeneity among farmers in the study region. Using these estimated results, Japan s AEP would attract more farmers and achieve significant efficiency gain without substantial budget increase. Acknowledgement :

    One possible way to increase the number of available foster homes is to raise the level of payments to foster parents. This article estimates the effect of the payment level on the supply of potential homes. The relationship is estimated on data from the various states. One method is a simple cross-sectional comparison of the states. Another, and more satisfactory, method is an examination of the changes over time in the various states. There is rough agreement in the results of the two methods, suggesting that a given percentage change in payment level would result in a percentage change in the supply of homes somewhere between half as large and fully as large-for example, a 5-10 percent change in available homes in response to a 10 percent change in payment level.
