“…Keeping in line with public-service motivation as a focus on intrinsic rewards, it is expected that public employees place less emphasis on job security than do private-sector employees. Newstrom, Reif, and Monczka (1976) and Crewson (1995b) concluded that government workers do assign less importance to job security.In contrast, Schuster (1974), Bellante and Link (1981), Baldwin (1987), and Jurkiewicz, Massey, and Brown (1998) reported that public-sector employees place a higher importance on job security.
