“…Moreover, previous studies have demonstrated that cultural differences might influence PSM’s prevalence, antecedents, and consequences (Houston, 2011; Rayner et al, 2018). This study provides a contextualized understanding of PSM and responds to the call for more research in non-Western settings (Hassan & Ahmad, 2021).…”

Extant research has demonstrated that public service motivation (PSM) might have a dark side on public employees. However, empirical research on this assumption remains unclear. Based on Job Demands-Resources Model, this study explores the psychological mechanism of PSM on burnout and examines the relationship from both positive and negative aspects by classifying work stress into challenge stress and hindrance stress. A study with 255 street-level public employees shows that PSM has significant negative effects on burnout. Specifically, perceived hindrance stress mediates a negative relationship between PSM and burnout, and perceived challenge stress mediates a positive relationship between PSM and burnout. This study not only contributes to the development of theories on the doubled-edged nature and psychological mechanism of PSM in relation to burnout but also provides management enlightenment for improving employees’ well-being and mitigating burnout.

“…An independent sample T-test was conducted on the three latent variables. According to existing studies, a p -value less than 0.05 means the difference between each variable is significant [ 39 ]. Significant differences were found in the effects of intervention between cities and rural areas in the eastern, central, western and the whole Inner Mongolia, with a p -value of less than 0.05.…”

The COVID-19 epidemic has caused giant influences on people’s life, and China’s communities play an important role in dealing with these major public health events (MPHEs). Community as the grassroots autonomous organization has various significant functions in intervening in MPHEs. The community intervention follows a system which directly influences the anti-epidemic effectiveness. To explore the mechanism, we devise a theoretical system for community intervention, mainly consisting of “organizational structure”, “functional performance” and “internal and external connections”. Questionnaire surveys, the chi-square test, the independent sample T-test, and principal component analysis are used to identify the characteristics of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region’s (Inner Mongolia) community intervention. Through the empirical research, it is verified that the community intervention in MPHEs is the combination of “the structural response of the organization”, “the performance of the community’s own function”, and “the establishment of internal and external connections”. The central Inner Mongolia delivers the best performance in community intervention compared to eastern Inner Mongolia and western Inner Mongolia. The urban communities commonly perform better than that in the agricultural and pastoral areas. The built system and findings could provide a guidance for future community to improve its intervention capability.

“…The process theory of public service motivation holds that public service motivation is cultivated through the process of socialization ( Moynihan and Pandey, 2007 ), which reflects a series of values, norms, and beliefs ( Perry and Hondeghem, 2008 ). It has been confirmed that the public service systems of various countries imply unique cultural values, and there are different modes and levels of public service motivation in different cultural fields ( Anderfuhren-Biget, 2012 ; Gupta et al, 2020 ), for instance, China ( Lee et al, 2020 ) and Republic of Korea ( Kim, 2009 ; Lee et al, 2020 ) in East Asia under the guidance of Confucian culture, India with ancient civilization ( Gupta et al, 2020 ), Iraq ( Hassan and Ahmad, 2021 ), and Pakistan ( Quratulain et al, 2019 ) under the dominance of Islamic culture, all of which have different public service motivations with different structures and dimensions. No matter from the perspectives of concept, structure or measurement, public service motivation has distinctive cultural characteristics.…”

Does Confucian culture affect public service motivation of grassroots public servants? Evidence from China

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Public service motivation contains distinctive cultural characteristics. Different cultural backgrounds shape public service motives with different connotations and levels. However, the traditional cultural values rooted in historical development and socialization process have not received enough attention in the research on public service motivation. In order to investigate the influence of Confucian culture based on Chinese scenes on public service motivation, in the current study we collected 1308 representative questionnaires from 12 cities in central and eastern China, and adopted the dual fixed effect model and moderating effect model to verify six hypotheses. The empirical results showed that Confucian culture has different effects on public service motivation from four dimensions, namely, attraction to politics and policy making (APP), commitment to public interest (CPI), compassion (COM), and self-sacrifice (SS). The paternalistic leadership plays a part in moderating the influence of Confucian culture on public service motivation. This study not only expands the cross-cultural applicability of the theory of public service motivation in non-western countries, but also supplements the evidence of research on public service motivation in East Asian countries. In practice, it is necessary for the organizations to consider the importance of specific cultural values for organizational culture and personal value orientation.
