Leadership has been recognized as one of the most critical elements to successful community collaboration. However, to date, we have limited knowledge of what drives people to embrace voluntary leadership roles. In this study, we investigate the intersection and relative contributions of two “other-regarding” motivational constructs in predicting peer nominations of leadership in community collaboratives: public service motivation (PSM) and psychological sense of community responsibility (SOC-R). In doing so, we aim to both introduce a new construct (SOC-R) to the field of public management as well as clarify the theoretical relationship of PSM and SOC-R to each other as well as to indicators of collaborative leadership. Study findings indicate that while SOC-R was significantly related to being identified as thought leaders and champions of a collaborative, PSM has no significant direct relationship to either indicator of collaborative leadership. However, PSM was significantly and positively related to SOC-R and was shown to have a significant indirect effect on indicators of collaborative leadership. These findings contribute to a growing literature seeking to clarify the role of PSM in understanding organizational behavior. Findings further suggest that SOC-R is a promising construct for understanding prosocial organizational actions such as collaborative leadership. These findings have significant implications for both advancing theories of motivation in public service-oriented contexts and their relationship to leadership behaviors
