Public Service Motivation and Employment Sector: Attraction or Socialization? (2013, background): “…social service” (Brewer & Selden, 1998, p. 417) and ”the belief, values and attitudes that go beyond self-interest and organizational interest, that concern the interest of a larger political entity and that motivate individuals to act accordingly whenever appropriate” (Vandenabeele, 2007, p. 547).”
High-Performance Human Resource Practices and Employee Outcomes: The Mediating Role of Public Service Motivation (2015, neutral): “It also refers to the beliefs, values, and attitudes that go beyond self-and organizational interest and motivate individuals to participate in behaviors that are beneﬁ cial to the community or to society in general (Vandenabeele 2007).”
Public Service Motivation, Prosocial Motivation and Altruism: Towards Disentanglement and Conceptual Clarity (2019, background): “However, OCB is directed at the employing organization’s interest and at co-workers (Williams & Anderson, 1991) and, therefore, contrasts with the core idea and extra-organizational focus of the concept of PSM (Vandenabeele, 2007).”
Activating the Forces of Public Service Motivation: Evidence from a Low‐Intensity Randomized Survey Experiment (2015, methodology): “Building on prior theory developments (Perry 2000; Vandenabeele 2007), Perry and Vandenabeele (2008) provide an institutional theory of motivation grounding the conceptual distinction.”
HRM Practices, Intrinsic Motivators, and Organizational Performance in the Public Sector (2013, background): “A fast-growing body of literature is available on the subject and PSM, which proves to be a highly relevant concept for describing the motivational characteristics of staff in public organizations (Crewson, 1997; Naff & Crum, 1999; Perry, 2000; Perry & Hondeghem, 2008; Vandenabeele, 2007).”
Exploring the Job Demands–Resources Model of Work Engagement in Government: Bringing in a Psychological Perspective (2017, methodology): “This scale is an adapted version from the original scale of Perry (1996), which Vandenabeele (2008b) developed to make it compatible within contexts such as the Dutch public sector.”
Work motivation and public service motivation: disentangling varieties of motivation and job satisfaction (2018, background): “The values that are endorsed mostly (but not exclusively) by public institutions are those that become integrated into the individual’s sense of self (Vandenabeele 2007).”
The Causal Effect of Public Service Motivation on Ethical Behavior in the Public Sector: Evidence from a Large-Scale Survey Experiment (2018, background): “9 As a result, public service-oriented behavior and behavioral intent by public employees may be encouraged by rendering more salient—that is activating—public service identities of public employees (Pedersen 2015; Vandenabeele and Perry 2008; Vandenabeele 2007).”
The Dimensions of Public Service Motivation and Sector Work Preferences (2012, background): “Other definitions have been offered (Brewer & Selden, 1998; Crewson, 1997; Rainey & Steinbauer, 1999; Vandenabeele, 2007; Wise, 2004), but all are essentially compatible in emphasizing the unique motives and other-regarding behavior of public servants (Perry et al.”
When Does Public Service Motivation Fuel the Job Satisfaction Fire? The Joint Moderation of Person–Organization Fit and Needs–Supplies Fit (2015, background): “Given the mixed results on the relationship between public service motivation and work attitudes and behaviours, as well as the call from Wise (2004) and Perry and Vandenabeele (2008), it is imperative to explore the boundary of public service motivation’s effects.”
Leadership and public service motivation: a systematic synthesis (2021, background): “…considered as a broader set of beliefs, values, and motives that move individuals beyond self-interest to concerns for the larger political entity (Vandenabeele 2007), public service motivation can be seen as a more general nonpublic construct akin to pro-social motivation (Wright, Christensen,…”
Motivating Employees of the Public Sector: Does Public Service Motivation Matter? (2010, methodology): “…major components of PSM, Vandenabeele defines PSM as ‘‘the beliefs, values and attitudes that go beyond self-interest and organizational interest, that concern the interest of a larger political entity and that motivate individuals to act accordingly whenever appropriate’’ (Vandenabeele 2007, 547).”
