摘要
哪些因素决定人们选择在公共部门工作?在此方面的研究结果一直存在争议。在本文中,我们利用26个国家的数据进行国际比较设计,来解释公共部门就业倾向。研究表明,在个体层面,公共服务动机和外在动机都是公共部门就业倾向的重要驱动因素。然而,内在动机与人们在公共部门工作倾向呈负相关。而且,低收入水平和低教育程度的人们更倾向于公共部门就业。这表明在公共部门工作被认为是不错的、安全的职业选择。我们的研究结果更进一步表明,这种就业倾向差异只能部分地由国家差异来解释。然而,公共就业有职业体制与职位体制之分,在实行职业体制的国家,人们更有可能选择公共部门就业。
Research findings have been contradictory with respect to the determinants of why people choose a public sector job.In this article we use an internationally comparative design with data from 26 countries to explain public sector employment preference.The study shows that on the individual level,public service motivation and extrinsic motivation are both important drivers for this preference.Intrinsic motivation,in turn,is negatively related to people’s inclination to work for the public sector.Moreover,having a lower income and lower education is associated with a greater preference for public sector employment This suggests that working for the public sector is seen as a good and safe career option.Our results furthermore show that variation in this preference can only partly be explained by country differences.Nevertheless,in countries with a career-rather than position-based system of public employment,people are more likely to prefer public employment.
