“…More research in this area would be useful for better understanding: (1) the nature of PSM among Canadian public servants, including the relative weight of the PSM dimensions, and the personal characteristics associated with them; (2) the extent to which PSM and its dimensions contribute to desirable employment outcomes (e.g., satisfaction, engagement, retention) in Canada; and (3) how organizational policies and practices affect PSM and, in turn, how PSM affects the success of policies. Moreover, the non‐Canadian literature suggests that PSM among public servants is influenced by job characteristics (Battaglio & French, 2016, Chen, 2015, Danaeefard et al, 2022, Mer et al, 2022), leadership and supervisory styles (Bro et al, 2017, Caillier, 2015, Campbell, 2018, Fazzi, 2016, Jensen & Bo, 2018, Lauritzen, Grøn & Kjeldsen, 2022, Mer et al, 2022, Nguyen et al, 2023; Nurung, Tamsah, & Azis, 2020), organizational climate (Danaeefard et al, 2022; Dinh et al, 2020, Lee et al, 2019; Ripoll, 2022, Ugaddan, 2019, Wang & Seifert, 2020), peer relations (Deng et al, 2021, Dinh et al, 2020, Lauritzen, Grøn & Kjeldsen, 2022, Lee et al, 2020), and training (Chen 2021). We have no evidence of the extent to which these relationships hold or their relative importance in Canada.…”

The Canadian public sector employs around one‐fifth of Canadian workers; they are responsible for policy making, stewarding public funds, and serving the public. Canadian governments struggle with job satisfaction, engagement, retention, and turnover, all of which may be associated with public service motivation (PSM). We conducted a scoping review of Canadian PSM research to synthesize what is known about these associations in the Canadian context. We identified 24 published studies and four works in progress. These demonstrate that PSM exists among Canadian public servants from the early stages of their career until later stages, and that PSM bolsters attraction to public sector work among students. No studies measured PSM among Canadian public servants using a validated instrument. Further research about the contributions of PSM to the quality of Canadian public services and how employers can nurture PSM is recommended, particularly given recent changes in work environments.

“…Ethics education can increase moral sensitivity, leading to ethical behavior (Lee et al, 2021). Ethical behavior can occur due to the support of various variables, such as the influence of ethical leadership, motivation to serve, peer relationships, commitment, and fairness (Dinh et al, 2020). Consumer perception of the organization's ethical behavior affects the organization's brand, loyalty, and desire to purchase products or services from the organization (da Silva Tolentino et al, 2021).…”

“…For example, several studies have found that ethical companies can maintain customer commitment (Siqueira Junior et al, 2022). Civil servants who commit ethical conduct are willing to report violations that occur to the organization (Dinh et al, 2020); ethical behavior affects customer loyalty, satisfaction, and trust (Mansouri et al, 2022), and other research shows that ethical behavior affects organizational performance (Dwi Widyani et al, 2020). The position of ethical conduct that significantly impacts the lives of those organizations and organizations is already encouraging various organizations to reinforce ethical behavior.…”

The research theme of ethical behavior, particularly in educational organizations, is of great importance. There have been many publications on ethical behavior, but there has been no research to identify and summarize publications on it comprehensively. This research aims to clarify the history and predict the hotspots of ethical behavior themes in the future. This research method uses bibliographical analysis using the VOSviewer application. Data was sourced from the Scopus database between 1982 and 2021, downloaded into Excel 2016, and processed by VOSviewer. Bibliometric maps are formed by VOSviewer software automatically.Results of the research, which began with a search on the article title through the keyword "ethic* behav*," obtained 957 documents. After being limited by publication between 1983 and 2021, 590 papers were accepted. Then it was restricted again based on articles, reviews, and English obtained from as many as 399 documents. The United States, United Kingdom, and Canada are the most productive countries writing this theme. Department of Management, Haworth College of Business, Western Michigan University, United States; School of Management, the University of Alaska Fairbanks, Fairbanks, United States; andDepartment of Basic Psychology and Methodology, University of Murcia, Murcia, Spain; they are the most prolific Institutions with this theme. The Journal of Business Ethics, Ethics and Behavior, and Science and Engineering Ethics are the journals that expose ethical behavior the most. Meanwhile, the most prolific authors are Deshpande S.P, Joseph J, Cronan T.P, Leonard N.K., Al Habusi H., and Gino F. Conclusion of the research with the theme of ethical behavior is generally associated with behavior in business, the prerequisite occurrence of ethical behavior in organizations, and variables that can improve and shape ethical behavior. In line with the development of societal progress, ethical behavior research requires more intensive attention, especially in education organizations, because the quality and sustainability of human life, business, and education lie in the quality of ethical behavior.
