In the present paper, I focus on the elements influencing persons’ judgment to undertake public sphere employment, the motivational capacity of public service, the beneficial results of public ...service motivations, and the detrimental consequences of performance-related pay on underlying reasons. The material gathered in this study provides a rich and diverse context for understanding the motivational foundations of public service, intrinsic vs. extrinsic compensations as drivers of persons’ decision to undertake public service employment, intrinsic incentives of public sphere workers, and the success of flexible pay systems in the public sphere.
We investigate the relationships between two work-related attitudes (the love of money and leisure ethic) and affective, continuance, and normative occupational commitment controlling gender, ...organizational tenure, and career tenure and test the model across Baby Boomers and Gen-Xers in a multi-group analysis. We collected data from a stratified random sample of the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) in the USA (N = 397). Results suggested that leisure ethic was positively related to affective commitment for Baby Boomers, whereas the love of money was negatively related to affective commitment for Gen-Xers. Career tenure was positively related to all three components of occupational commitment for both age cohorts. Gender (male) was positively related to love of money and negatively related to leisure ethic for Gen-Xers, but not for Baby Boomers. Further, the love of money was negatively related to affective commitment for male Gen-Xers, but not for female Gen-Xers. Results provide important implications for managing Baby Boomers and Gen-Xers.

Personality traits have repeatedly been found to be reliable predictors of job performance. In this study of Chinese local government organizations, the relationships between job performance and two ...personality traits, agreeableness and conscientiousness, were examined. Conscientiousness
was as measured by Talents, a subscale taken from an indigenous scale, the Chinese Personality Scale (QZPS; Wang, Cui, & Zhou, 2005). As expected, talents were related to both task and contextual performance. However, agreeableness as measured by Kindness, from the same indigenous scale,
was related negatively to task performance, and showed no relationship with contextual performance.
