Abstract
There is growing concern that discriminatory access to education depending on socioeconomic status is becoming increasingly difficult and costly to resolve. This study highlights high school principals’ public service motivation (PSM) to reduce gaps in academic achievement. Using the data from a survey of high school principals in Korea in 2018 and conducting a series of interviews, this study explores how principals’ PSM influences educational equity for the socially underprivileged students. The results suggest that three dimensions of PSM (attraction to public participation, compassion, and self-sacrifice) are significantly related to increasing budget allocation for students’ equity. The study concludes with suggestions for further research and presents possible alternatives to enhance educational equity for students.
