Abstract

How well does public service motivation apply to occupational locus and focus in the post‐communist state? Survey data from the ISSP 2005 Work Orientations module gathered in five post‐communist Central and Eastern European countries and Russia are examined using multilevel binary logistic regression analysis. It is found that occupational focus is a more important correlate of public service motivation than is occupational locus in these post‐communist countries. Because the relative importance of work motives varies across countries, it is important to account for national context when developing a theory of public service motivation.
