During the same year, the Center for Continuing Education Economics under the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration conducted a monitoring of teachers’ reaction to changes to their financial conditions. The monitoring-based study showed that growth in wages had no significant effect on the teaching personnel’s self-sentiment, most of whom (almost 80%) didn’t consider it significant. Additionally, lots of teachers consider that there is direct relationship between wage raise and growth in their workload. criticism Classification-JEL: Keywords: Personnel wages Journal: RUSSIAN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS Year: 2014 Issue: 4 Month: April Pages: 42-44 File-URL: http://www.iep.ru/files/RePEc/gai/recdev/316Klyachko.pdf File-Format: Application/pdf Handle: RePEc:gai:recdev:316
