Abstract

Abstract Although public service motivation (PSM) is an issue of global concern, there should be further exploration of the impact of the cross-cultural effect on PSM research. The current study conducted a meta-analytic examination on the relationship between PSM and individual job performance in a cross-cultural context. Based on 40 correlations in 34 separate studies among 12 countries/regions, the findings support the positive relationship between PSM and individual job performance. The relationship is more robust in cultures with higher power distance than the lower counterparts, and results were mutually verified by Hofstede’s model and GLOBE model. Moreover, we found these effects differ across measurements of individual job performance but were more stable across the PSM measurements. The findings provide a clear explanation for the relationship between PSM and individual job performance from a cross-cultural perspective. The current study offers a cross-validating way of testing the effect of culture and also inspires practitioners in the domain of public administration.

公共服务动机与个人工作绩效关系的荟萃分析：文化效应的交叉验证

虽然公共服务动机是一个全球关注的问题，但跨文化效应对公共服务动机研究的影响还有待进一步探讨。本研究对跨文化背景下PSM与个人工作绩效的关系进行了元分析检验。基于12个国家/地区34项独立研究的40项相关性，研究结果支持PSM与个人工作绩效之间的正相关关系。在权力距离高的文化中，这种关系比权力距离低的文化更强，Hofstede模型和GLOBE模型相互验证了结果。此外，我们发现这些影响在个体工作绩效的测量中有所不同，但在PSM测量中更为稳定。研究结果从跨文化的角度对PSM与个人工作绩效之间的关系提供了清晰的解释。本研究为检验文化的影响提供了一种交叉验证的方法，对公共管理领域的从业者也有启发作用。

期刊介绍： The International Public Management Journal (IPMJ) publishes high-quality empirical and theoretical work on managing large organizations, particularly public organizations. IPMJ features work from scholars around the world who conduct research in the areas of public management and government reform, comparative public administration, organizational theory, and organizational behavior. IPMJ seeks to provide a bridge between those conducting research on public management and public administration on the one hand, and those working in the areas of organizational behavior and organization theory on the other. IPMJ intends to stimulate and reflect the academic interests of an international constituency of readers and scholars.
