Academic Development of the Concept of Public Service Motivation: A Bibliometric Analysis

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this study is to trace the academic development of the concept of public service motivation and to guide researchers working on this concept by contributing to the public administration literature. In order to reveal the academic development of the concept of public service motivation, seven research questions were created and bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Web of Science database as the main source. After filtering the raw data obtained in the analyses, a total of 3044 research and review articles were included in the analysis. As a result of the analysis, researchers from the United States, Europe and Asia contributed to the development of the concept. Studies related to the concept are published in journals with high H-index. It has been determined that the concept of public service motivation has a vibrant, dynamic and constantly evolving structure, especially in international literature, and that the factors that motivate employees in public administration and public services to serve the public have not been fully described. Based on the findings, it was concluded that insufficient research has been conducted on the concept of public service motivation in relation to the themes of organizational culture, experimentation, behavior, development, and employee attitudes.
