“…Publication data demonstrate a steady increase in the number of peerreviewed articles addressing the topic of PSM in one way or another (Perry and Hondeghem 2008b;Vandenabeele et al 2014;Ritz et al 2016). Equally, citation scores for PSM-related articles demonstrate that such papers have above-average citations (Vandenabeele and Skelcher 2015) indicating that the topic is one that engenders debate.…”

“…Finally, the role of the research community should not be underestimated in explaining the appeal. Key players in the PSM field have devoted large parts of their careers to building constructive and positive research communities not only in the US but also in Europe (Vandenabeele and Skelcher 2015;Ritz et al 2016). In fact, in recent years, most of the high-impact research projects on PSM have been based in Europe (in particular in denmark, the Netherlands, and Italy).…”

“…But bureaucrats come in many different forms and shapes (Downs, 1957). Ever since Perry’s (Perry, 1996; Perry & Wise, 1990) introduction of the PSM construct, scholarship in public administration and management argues that high-PSM people are attracted to (stay in) the public sector (Bozeman & Su, 2015; Perry, 1996; Vandenabeele & Skelcher, 2015). This follows from the attraction-selection-attrition (ASA) model (Wright & Grant, 2010) and the homophily logic (McPherson et al, 2001), arguing that groups of people reveal in-group similarities and out-group differences.…”

“…People reporting high levels of PSM are more likely to terminate the PPP early than people with lower levels. This is surprising because highly public service motivated people are especially likely to self-select into the public sector presumably in the prospect of using their motivation to help others and contribute to the greater good (Crewson 1997;Vandenabeele and Skelcher 2015). High PSM is usually regarded as a robust indicator for a higher likelihood of trusting and being trusted (Tepe 2016).…”
