“…All of these conditions are exactly why hospitals should exist. Notably, this public-based claim is consistent with the accumulated findings of a large body of literature on public service motivation [10,36,41,42]. As such, if hospitals are deeply dedicated to purpose, doctors are likely to be satisfied with their jobs.…”

“…As a result, being public agentic, harnessing one's best self, helping others, and connecting to a larger group in society are ultimately what one needs to thrive in one's life, thus making these factors also a critical source of satisfaction with one's job and life, albeit in different ways [14,22]. As such, this finding is more aligned with recent studies on public service motivation [42], particularly because an organization's orientation (i.e., a hospital's desire to serve the public benefit) also may affect the individual's public service motivation.…”

Profit or Purpose: What Increases Medical Doctors’ Job Satisfaction?

This study integrates two competing views to examine whether medical doctors are satisfied with their jobs when they perceive their hospitals as being oriented toward profit (i.e., rational choice theory) or purpose (i.e., public service motivation). Using a sample of 127 doctors from 70 hospitals, this study tests these competing views. The results show that doctors who perceive their hospitals as purpose-driven are likely to experience job satisfaction, and this pattern still holds even if they also perceive their hospitals to be emphasizing profits. However, only the purpose-driven orientation results in job satisfaction via a sense of meaningfulness. Thus, this study offers comprehensive evidence that while medical doctors are likely to be satisfied with their jobs when they work at either purpose-driven or profit-driven hospitals, only purpose-driven hospitals give doctors a sense of meaningfulness. This finding suggests that both rational choice theory and public service motivation perspective are valid; however, public service motivation plays a greater role in terms of a sense of meaningfulness. Theoretical contributions and practical implications are discussed.

“…In the PS, as factors of failure, the use of inappropriate metrics/indicators stands out (Wang and Le, 2018; Prysmakova et al , 2019), which points to a problem in the construction/development phase of PES (Bourne et al , 2000). Factors of failure that are also relevant, although with less emphasis, are listed as government pressure and political imposition (Kuhlman, 2010; Micheli and Neely, 2010); problems of information quality; the lack of knowledge and information and indefinite goals (Pettersen and Nyland, 2006; Rantanen et al , 2007b; Wang et al , 2018).…”

PurposeThis study analysed international publications related to the performance evaluation (PE) theme to compare the public and private sectors with a focus on the metrics and a reflection on the consideration of each sector's characteristics.Design/methodology/approachIn total, two bibliographic portfolios (BPs) were selected with the aid of the Knowledge Development Process-Constructivist (ProKnow-C) instrument, and the literature was systematically and critically reviewed to construct a theme literature map; the metrics analysed the performance evaluation systems (PESs) used in the studies and identified each sector's characteristics and PES behaviour based on these characteristics.FindingsThe two sectors stand out because of the low incidence of articles with cardinal scales, which enable the measurement and identification of the consequences of performance that are below or above the target. The behaviour of the sector characteristics was unusual, especially regarding the user and the organisational structure; it was found that the presence or absence of critical factors, such as communication, may prove to be a differential of success or failure. An absence of the organisation's particularities when designing and using a PES was noted.Originality/valueThe contributions relate to (1) identification of the public and private sector characteristics based on the selected literature, which helps in understanding the critical success and failure factors of an organisation's PES, especially with regard to metrics adequacy for each context; and (2) verification of the paths taken by the literature in both sectors.

“…Th e investigation of the incentives leading to job satisfaction, in particular, is a subject largely discussed in the relevant literature (Perry & Wise, 1990; Georgellis & Tabvuma, 2010; Wright & Davis, 2003). Employee job satisfaction in the public sector is related to the possibility for them to achieve the goals and outcomes set by the organization or the service they serve, as well as with opportunities that their work off ers for professional advancement (Boyne, 2003;Prysmakova et al, 2017).…”

Th e present study examines the level of job satisfaction among municipal employees in Greece, the relation between overall satisfaction and satisfaction that is related with job objective, working conditions, salary, kind of service, collaboration and development prospects, as well as possible repercussions of the economic crisis on it. Th e data comes from a survey carried out in 2017 on a sample of 196 employees. Th e survey questionnaire is based on the scales for measuring satisfaction from Spector's "Job Satisfaction Survey". A basic conclusion of the survey is that the overall satisfaction of employees is mediocre, this picture, though, not having been aff ected substantially by the implications of the economic crisis. However, it has been found that the study determined those specific satisfaction aspects, namely the department where employees serve and the administrative skills of the heads of the departments, that seem to have positive infl uence on the generally satisfi ed employees. Th e examination of certain aspects of partial job satisfaction aims at improving public management, mainly on the basis of intrinsic rewards, in times of economic instability.
