摘要：A rich literature in public administration has shown that public sector employees have stronger altruistic motivations than private sector employees. Recent economic theories stress the importance of mission preferences and predict that altruistic people sort into the public sector when they subscribe to its mission. This article uses data from a representative survey of more than 30,000 employees from 50 countries to test this prediction. The authors find strong evidence of a mutually reinfor...

Unfortunately, we know relatively little about the factors that drive acceptance of performance-based accountability by administrative actors. This article employs data collected from an original survey instrument to examine the perceptions of presidents at American public coll...
