| dc.description.abstract | This article attempts to unfold the origins of international differences in public service motivation (PSM) by
focusing on the effect of macro-level institutions on PSM. To explain the country differences levels of PSM and
normative institutions measured as value-systems were studied in the Netherlands and Belgium. Analysis
showed that although Dutch respondents were more likely to have post-materialistic values and post-materialists
scored higher on PSM, values as they were measured in this study could not explain the country differences. It
appears that value-systems do not form part of the effect of macro-level institutions. Nonetheless, valuesystems
did have an independent effect on PSM, giving support for an institutional approach to PSM. | |
