Attraction to Government Public Service Professions

Predicting this Career Decision

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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. The two main
goals of this research were to identify what most
strongly predicts the decisions of public and
business administration graduate students to enter
government public service professions and to assess
the public service ethos among a set of career
choice predictors from relevant literatures.
