Factors Affecting the Context for Motivation in Public Organizations
通过比较公共与私营部门的研究，分析影响员工动机的个人、工作、环境及外部因素，并评估四种激励方法的效果，为未来研究提出方向。
A comparative framework is used to assess the present understanding of the motivational context in public organizations. Comparative public-private research on individual, job, work environment, and external variables affecting motivation is reviewed. In light of this research, the efficacy of four motivational techniques—monetary incentives, goal setting, job design, and participation—is discussed. An agenda is offered for future research, focusing on topics such as the measurability of performance, goal clarity, and job security.
