School unit leaders’ people management: Impact on teachers’ line of sight and school unit performance
This study seeks to understand how school unit leaders’ people management and communication of school goals impact school unit performance through a cognitive path, drawing on theoretical insights from both human resource management (HRM) and educational leadership literature. Utilizing data from a sample of 5769 teachers across 559 units, this paper empirically studies the mediating role of teachers’ line of sight in the relationship between sch…
Public Personnel Reforms and Public Sector HRM in Europe
This review of the literature on public personnel reforms and public sector HRM concentrates on three major topics. First, studies show that NPM continues to influence public personnel policies across Europe, not so much by a further decentralization and increase in managerial autonomy regarding HR decision-making, but by a partial reorientation of the public service ethic. Second, studies provide evidence that leadership matters for the implemen…
Red Tape: Developing and Validating a New Job‐Centered Measure
Red tape studies typically focus on burdensome rules that have negative effects on organizations, as perceived by managers. The one‐item general red tape scale is representative of this approach. However, scholars have called for improved measures that address the scale's shortcomings. This article introduces a new measurement scale that features (1) red tape as a two‐dimensional construct that includes compliance burden and lack of functionality…
On the bright and dark side of public service motivation: The relationship between PSM and employee wellbeing
This paper reveals that the relationship between public service motivation (PSM) and employee wellbeing depends on the societal impact potential (SIP) through the job and organizational type. In people-changing organizations, PSM relates to higher burnout and lower job satisfaction when SIP is high: employees sacrifice themselves too much for society. However, in people-processing organizations, low SIP relates to higher burnout and lower job sat…
Clarifying the Relationship Between Public Service Motivation and In-Role and Extra-Role Behaviors: The Relative Contributions of Person-Job and Person-Organization Fit
A core proposition of public service motivation (PSM) theory is that PSM is positively related to individual performance. Some studies, however, suggest that this relationship is mediated by person-job or person-organization fit. This study aims to further clarify the relationship between PSM and performance by, first, studying the mediation role of both person-job and person-organization fits and, second, by investigating this mediation for both…
Economic crisis and municipal public service employment: Comparing developments in seven EU Member States
This article examines the impact of austerity policies in seven EU Member States on municipal employment and the ways in which social dialogue can influence consequences for employees. It provides a comparative institutional framework, looking at municipal tasks and powers, and the social dialogue institutions available in the respective countries. In addition, the outcomes of austerity policies are compared with regard to wages, employment level…
Investigating the Structure and Meaning of Public Service Motivation across Populations: Developing an International Instrument and Addressing Issues of Measurement Invariance
The growth in international research on public service motivation (PSM) raises a number of important questions about the degree to which the theory and research developed in one country can contribute to our understanding of PSM in other counties. To help address this issue, this study revisits the conceptual and operational definitions of PSM to address weaknesses previously noted in the literature. Although some important steps have been taken …
Public service motivation and job performance of public sector employees in the Netherlands
This article contributes in three ways to our understanding of public service motivation (PSM) and its effects. In the first place, it applies an abridged version of Perry's measurement scale in the Dutch public sector. Although the results of the analysis show that PSM is a valid concept in this context, doubts arise as to whether one should use the same four dimensions as in the USA. Second, the analysis shows that — contrary to expectations — …
Organizational commitment among Dutch public sector employees
Organizational commitment has become a much researched subject over the past three decades. This article focuses on the relatively understudied public sector. On the basis of a large public-sector-wide survey, organizational commitment and its antecedents are assessed, including the contribution made by HRM practices. The findings are, to a large extent, in agreement with earlier studies in that they indicate the relatively major importance of jo…
