Inhalt:
Christopher O'Leary provides a fresh perspective on prosocial working choices in this first substantive critique of Public Service Motivation (PSM). The book reviews concepts of PSM and research to date and explores the rationales and aims of public and third sector workers before proposing alternative theories for people's motivations to serve.
