The establishment and implementation of the SPMS “ensures that personnel performance shall be linked with organizational performance to enhance the performance orientation of the compensation system,” according to the Civil Service Commission (CSC). The compensation system is “a performance-based incentive scheme which integrates personnel and organizational performance…established to reward exemplary civil servants and well performing institutions.” (With sources from the Civil Service Commission)
