Public Service Motivation (PSM) and Job Satisfaction in Case of Hungarian Local Public Service

Abstract

Public Service Motivation (PSM) originates from psychology and it spreads in other disciplines such as public administration. PSM was developed in the USA and it is also applied in Europe. In this study, I investigated the connection between PSM, job satisfaction, red tape, and resignation satisfaction in case of a Mayor’s office of a district in Budapest. I had four hypotheses but I could prove only one. I found a significant connection between PSM factors and job satisfaction. These results may suggest that PSM could affect how public servants are satisfied with their job in the Hungarian public service.
