Abstract

Studies of the performance effects of performance-related pay (PRP) and other-regarding motivations such as public service motivation (PSM) show that organizational goals and ownership structure play a crucial role, but these determinants are under-researched. In narrowing this gap, state-owned enterprises (SOEs) are relevant research objects. However, this systematic literature review categorizing different types of public sector organization reveals that only 9% of the 232 identified articles examine SOEs. On that basis, this article develops a research agenda for examining the performance effects of the combination of PRP and PSM/other-regarding motivations in SOEs as a foundation for future research in different disciplines.
