Public sector management vs. public preferences

Author(s): Grażyna Musial, Rafał Musialik
Subject(s): Economy
Published by: Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Ekonomicznego we Wrocławiu
Keywords: public sector; public value; bi-utility; public preferences

Summary/Abstract: Primarily the article presents two concepts of value in public sector management and economics. The first of them is a Public Value theory, the second one is A. Etzioni’s biutility idea. Each of them is based on the assumption that human behavior should be explained using two sources of motivation. Thereby they are inconsistent with the neoclassical utility theory. The second aim of the paper is to develop an interpretation of two sources of motivation so as to achieve a general conceptual framework for describing human motivations.
