Employees without a Cause: The Motivational Effects of Prosocial Impact in Public Service (2008, background): “Empirical research suggests that public service motivation is grounded in four prosocial motives: attraction to public policy making, commitment to the public interest, compassion, and self-sacrifice (Perry 1996; 1997; Vandenabeele, Scheepers, and Hondeghem 2006).”
When Does Public Service Motivation Fuel the Job Satisfaction Fire? The Joint Moderation of Person–Organization Fit and Needs–Supplies Fit (2015, background): “Denmark (Andersen and Serritzlew 2012), France (Castaing 2006), Germany (Vandenabeele et al. 2006), Italy (Cerase and Farinella 2009), Malta (Camilleri 2006), Netherland (Steijn 2008), South Korea (Kim 2009), Switzerland (Ritz 2009), and the United Kingdom (Coyle-Shapiro and Kessler 2003).”
The Psychological Mechanisms of Public Service Motivation (2016, background): “Although Kim and Vandenabeele (2010) call for efforts to develop a universal scale of PSM construct, the historical and institutional context is important for appropriately understanding the PSM construct (Vandenabeele et al., 2006).”
Revising Perry's Measurement Scale of Public Service Motivation (2009, background): “Vandenabeele et al. (2006) arrived at the same conclusion when describing the British and German variants.”
Job Satisfaction in The Public Service (2011, background): “In their comparisons of PSM between UK and Germany, Vandenabeele et al. (2006) found differences in the elements of PSM between the two countries, which led them to suggest that the values, beliefs and attitudes concerning public service are not the same in both countries.”
Work-Related Stressors and Health-Related Outcomes in Public Service (2015, background): “Third, prior research demonstrates that differences in culture, institution, social norms, and individual traits can account for significant variance in both stress (Spector et al., 2004) and PSM (Kim et al., 2013; Vandenabeele et al., 2006).”
Public service motivation and job satisfaction in China: An investigation of generalisability and instrumentality (2008, background): “), UK and Germany ( Vandenabeele, Scheepers and Hondeghem, 2006”
Toward a public administration theory of public service motivation (2007, background): “First, they embrace, up to a certain extent, public service values such as interest in politics and policy making, public interest, compassion, self-sacrifice, customer orientation, democratic values and good governance (Hondeghem and Vandenabeele 2005; Vandenabeele et al. 2006).”
Development of a Public Service Motivation Measurement Scale: Corroborating and Extending Perry's Measurement Instrument (2008, background): “Second, looking back at H1, the final model did not comprise three extra factors as was expected based on a literature research (Hondeghem and Vandenabeele 2005; Vandenabeele et al. 2006)—such a model was rejected based upon the substandard values of the fit indices.”
Organizational Influences, Public Service Motivation and Work Outcomes: An Australian Study (2008, background): “People high in PSM can be attracted to public sector jobs that are able to offer higher levels of intrinsic motivators (Le Grand 2003; Pattakos 2004; Perry and Wise 1990; Staats 1988; Vandenabeele et al. 2006; Wilson 2003).”
