Understanding motivations of sector switchers: towards a holistic approach to public service motivation theory
No full textWhile public service motivation theory (PSM) has addressed numerous topics in the 30-plus years it has been a significant part of the public administration literature, several gaps in the literature are apparent. First, PSM has only recently begun to address the relationship between government partiality, which is at the center of PSM, with other prosocial modes of partiality, such as an interest in nonprofit work. Second, the issue of “sector switchers”—individuals who move from one employment sector to another over the course of their careers—has been significantly under-researched both as a general matter and with specific reference to motivation. Third, PSM research has been largely quantitative in character and may benefit from a rebalancing with qualitative methods. This dissertation, an exploratory study, is a qualitative study of sectorswitchers. It uses phenomenologically oriented interviews with 50 such individuals, selected in a purposeful sample, to add depth to an understanding ofmotivation to work in government as well as other prosocial realms. In so doing, the dissertation addresses a gap identified by one leading PSM researcher searching for more holistic approaches to public service motivation. Themes emerged from the analysis and coding of interview data. Variousmotivations were identified for sectoral switches, including those based in compensation, a need for variety, a desire to serve, the enhancement of one’sprofessional skills, and the desire to advance one’s career. Further, while the study was exploratory and the sample was purposeful and not random, varioustrends seemed apparent, including the fact that sector switchers tend to undergo numerous switches and employment changes over the course of their careersand that, while they often move to the nonprofit sector later in their careers, they tend not to move to, or return to, government work. Tentative conclusions include the identification of tensions between the abstract idea of service, often enunciated in a positive way by respondents, and neutral or negative views about government service, self-sacrifice, and working ina helping profession. A tension was also discerned between government work, which participants viewed more negatively, and nonprofit work, which participantstended to view more positively.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Jeffrey C.

No full textThe Chinese sentence structure “Ba” presents challenges for Chinese to English translation. To provide more translation strategies, this paper establishes a Sentence Ba corpus based on Borden Town translated by Jeffrey C. Kinkley. The corpus is divided into two categories: disposal and double-object Sentence Ba. Translation strategies are discussed, and the results suggest that semantic and communicative translations are used to balance the reading experience of the target language readers with the reproduction of Chinese culture
