Abstract

Abstract Previous research has neglected the moderating role of the environment in studying the negative effect of public service motivation (PSM) on unethical behavior. This article investigates whether this effect prevails under group pressure and competition for economic resources. Moreover, it assesses whether these moderating effects can be counterbalanced by activating public values. Using a survey experiment on a sample of citizens in Catalonia (Spain), the results suggest that PSM is vulnerable to group pressure and that the proposed activation of public values does little to neutralize this effect. The discussion addresses the findings and provides directions for future research.

高度公共服务动机的个人对不道德行为的常见原因免疫吗?校准群体压力与经济资源竞争的调节作用

在研究公共服务动机对不道德行为的负面影响时，以往的研究忽略了环境的调节作用。本文考察了在群体压力和经济资源竞争下，这种效应是否普遍存在。此外，它还评估了这些调节效应是否可以通过激活公共价值观来抵消。通过对加泰罗尼亚(西班牙)公民样本的调查实验，结果表明，PSM容易受到群体压力的影响，而提议的公共价值观的激活对于中和这种影响几乎没有作用。讨论了这些发现，并为未来的研究提供了方向。
