Graduate students attraction to government public service professions.

Graduate students attraction to government public service professions. - 210 p.

Adviser: Marc Holzer.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Rutgers The State University of New Jersey - Newark, 2007.

Attracting competent, committed candidates to government public service professions is of ongoing concern to government leaders, recruiters, and citizens. Without employees capable of achieving governments' objectives, acceptable standards in the democratic delivery of public services are difficult to achieve. Traditionally, choosing government public service professions was considered the response to a special calling and to an affinity with employment environments imbued with the public service ethos. With public services now delivered from a multi-sectored environment, the locus of the public service ethos is open to debate.

520 $a Attracting competent, committed candidates to government public service professions is of ongoing concern to government leaders, recruiters, and citizens. Without employees capable of achieving governments' objectives, acceptable standards in the democratic delivery of public services are difficult to achieve. Traditionally, choosing government public service professions was considered the response to a special calling and to an affinity with employment environments imbued with the public service ethos. With public services now delivered from a multi-sectored environment, the locus of the public service ethos is open to debate.
520 $a The two main goals of this research were to identify what, in the U.S. northeast, most strongly predicts MPA and MBA students' decisions to enter government public service professions and to assess the public service ethos among a set of career choice predictors from relevant literatures. The predictors included organizational culture, career planning, motivation, socialization, and demographic characteristics.
520 $a From data collected through an electronic survey and estimates from logistic regression models, the most significant predictors of the decision whether to choose government public service professions were educational, paternal, and professional socialization; perception of whether the government agency shared the candidate's commitment to public service; and motivation toward public service, as demonstrated by respondents' levels of attraction to public policy-making and their inclination toward doing good for others over personal financial gain. Traditional concepts of the public service ethos proved insignificant compared to the perception that its value is upheld in government agencies.
520 $a This study supports and broadens earlier public administration research that explained attraction to government public service professions as intrinsic motivation with sociological antecedents. It introduces cultural influences to the framework through integrating complementary organizational behavior theory. Finally, given that the MPA student population is ideal for staffing government agencies, this study indicates that students are likely to be receptive to recruiting strategies that appeal to their socialization, emphasize organizational commitment to public service, offer opportunities for public policy making that reflect that commitment, and provide opportunities for meaningful service to the public.
