Staying Motivated
All Canadians benefit from a high quality of public service delivery, which is directly related to the motivation of public servants. A top priority for governments is to attract and retain a public sector workforce that is motivated and enthusiastic to serve the public good. The Public Service Motivation (PSM) theory offers a framework for the analysis of motivations of public servants. Knowledge is lacking on how motivations of public servants …
Gender and public sector careers
Why are graduate school applicants interested in public service? Who are these individuals and how do they convey their preference for a career in the public sector? We present an exploratory qualitative study on gender differences in deciding to undertake a master’s degree in public administration with the intent of seeking public sector employment. Our findings reveal that female applicants are particularly interested in influencing policy chan…
How can community-university engagement address family violence prevention? One child at a time
Family violence in Indigenous communities is one of the most pressing policy challenges of our times. This issue is highly related to the stressors caused by the disadvantaged socio-economic circumstances of Indigenous peoples, such as poverty and unemployment, and community trauma attributed to colonization and a loss of culture.

This article demonstrates how an inner-city university has used …

There is concern among some First Nation citizens that their communities lack human resource capacity.

The methodology involves estimating micro- and macro-level variables for respondents in Statistics Canada's Aboriginal Peoples Survey, using a multilevel modelling…
A Human Capital Methodology for Estimating the Lifelong Personal Costs of Young Women Leaving the Sex Trade
This article combines case study interviews with the tools of economic cost-benefit analysis to estimate the lifelong effects for individuals in Manitoba, Canada, who began engaging in prostitution as youths. The empirical findings reveal that sex workers retain only a small portion of their earnings from prostitution after feeding drug addictions and third-parties extortions of net residual earnings. The sex-trade worker typically suffers from d…
An Examination of the Fiscal Impact from Youth Involvement in the Sex Trade
Youth engagement in sex-trade activities leads to a significant demand on public resources absorbed into the treatment of drug and alcohol addictions, the criminal justice and health systems, income assistance, and housing support. Based on interviews with transitioned sex-trade workers, we estimate a series of fiscal cost comparisons on the demand for public services over the period of engagement in sex-trade activities and following the transit…
