摘要:How well does public service motivation apply to occupational locus and focus in the post-communist state? Survey data from the ISSP 2005 Work Orientations module gathered in five post-communist Central and Eastern European countries and Russia are examined using multilevel binary logistic regression analysis. It is found that occupational focus is a more important correlate of public service motivation than is occupational locus in these post-communist countries. Because the relative importan...

摘要:This study seeks to examine whether and how a group of Australian local government workers' perceptions of two relational job characteristics - impact on citizens and contact with citizens - influence the relationship between public service motivation (PSM) and job satisfaction. Government employees who have strong norms about performing public service were found to be more satisfied with their job partly based on the extent to which they perceived that their jobs provided avenues for worthwhi...

摘要:While politicians are often seen as being motivated by narrow self-interest, this article offers an alternative view. The relationship between two pro-social dimensions - Commitment to the Public Interest (CPI) and User Orientation (UO) - and behavioural outcomes among local councillors is analyzed. The raison d'etre for the local councils is to define the public interest. In line with this, CPI, which is directed towards doing good for the public interest, is associated with working hours and...

摘要:Gradual transformative policy change has attracted increasing attention in recent times. However, existing explanations for the evolvement of the various modes of such change do not account for the direction and content of change and also have difficulty with more complex policy change processes in which several modes are employed. Ideational analysis can fill this gap, albeit most ideational research does not address gradual policy and ideational changes. Based on a process tracing of two cas...

摘要:Although the theory of punctuated equilibrium is one of the most widely cited theories in policy studies, most of the research has paid relatively little attention to the conditions under which a policy punctuation is likely to occur. In this study, we argue that one of the likely causes of a policy punctuation is cultural friction. Such friction occurs between two opposing forces: the force directed at amplifying the demand for policymaking that is expected to introduce a new cultural value, ...

摘要:This article reviews the evolution of almost 25 years of public service motivation research in order to identify what is necessary to raise future research to a higher level. First, we look at the rise in public service motivation research and try to provide an explanation for the increasing number of publications. Second, we review the empirical research on public service motivation and summarize the knowledge that has been built up so far in terms of the nature of the concept and its prevale...
