While often treated as a positive individual experience, meaningful work is conceptualised here as a socially and institutionally embedded process shaped by employment regimes and reform pressures. Drawing on 48 interviews with managers, professionals, and administrative staff across four public education providers, the analysis identifies four interrelated dynamics: HRM structures that institutionalise precarity; commitment to vulnerable communities; self-recognition in the absence of formal validation; and the normalisation of sacrifice as dedication. The article advances public HRM scholarship in three ways. First, it shows that ambivalence in meaningful work is institutionally produced under conditions of fragility. Second, it specifies how HRM configurations mediate between reform-driven instability and employees’ meaning-making. Third, it situates meaningful work within debates on decent work (SDG 8) by demonstrating how moral commitment sustains service delivery while compensating for deficits in security, recognition and institutional care.","PeriodicalId":47609,"journal":{"name":"Review of Public Personnel Administration","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147752649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, most studies focus on public services where employees have significant discretion, leaving standardized services – where service time is a critical measure of customer satisfaction – relatively unexplored. This article investigates the relationship between workload and service time across various standardized government services, emphasizing the influence of job design variables. Drawing on data from 41 government service centers in Hungary, encompassing 3,406,152 worker-customer interactions across 36 services delivered by 947 frontline workers, the analysis reveals that increased workload prompts workers to accelerate service times, highlighting a predominant coping strategy regardless of service knowledge requirements. The relation between workload and service time is shaped by factors such as task specialization, task variety, operational volume, and on-the-job breaks. These findings offer valuable insights for managing government services under high workload conditions.","PeriodicalId":47609,"journal":{"name":"Review of Public Personnel Administration","volume":"197 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147708639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We link data from two separate surveys fielded in 2019 to resignation records of sworn officers from a state-level law enforcement agency over the subsequent three years. Multilevel Probit regression analyses indicate a significant negative association between PSM and resignation and a positive association between burnout and resignation. Specifically, a one–standard-deviation increase in PSM score is associated with a 2.8-percentage-point lower probability of resignation, whereas a one–standard-deviation increase in burnout score corresponds to a 3.5-percentage-point higher probability of resignation. We also find evidence suggesting PSM diminishes the adverse effects of elevated burnout on resignation. These findings suggest that PSM can help sustain law enforcement officers in their roles during challenging periods by dampening burnout-related resignation pressures. We conclude with implications for PSM theory and for managing officer well-being and retention.","PeriodicalId":47609,"journal":{"name":"Review of Public Personnel Administration","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147489901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Trust in change management, meaning employees believe leaders will handle reforms fairly, transparently and competently, is essential for coping with such changes. Team dynamics can weaken this trust. One important factor is overqualification, which occurs when employees have more skills or education than their job requires. Although sometimes viewed as an advantage, overqualification can also create frustration and doubt during reform. This study examines how the presence of overqualified employees in teams affects collective trust in change management and shapes perceptions of qualitative job insecurity, the feeling that valued aspects of work are under threat. Using data from a Belgian government agency, the findings show that teams with more overqualified employees report lower trust in change management, which increases qualitative job insecurity. The results highlight the paradox of overqualification and its implications for managing change.","PeriodicalId":47609,"journal":{"name":"Review of Public Personnel Administration","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147478017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, research addressing this issue within public administration, specifically concerning HRM practices in public service organizations, remains relatively scarce. Drawing on social identity theory (SIT), our study aims to fill this gap by examining the relationship between HRM practices and job satisfaction and engagement of LGBTQI+ employees in government agencies, with a focus on perceived supervisory support. We analyzed two waves of data collected from 268 LGBTQI+ federal employees working in US government agencies. Our findings reveal that HRM practices directly impact job satisfaction and engagement of LGBTQI+ employees. Additionally, perceived supervisory support was identified as a mediator in these relationships. This article addresses the critical issues of equality, diversity, and inclusion in the workplace and provides insights for designing more effective HRM practices to tackle these challenges.","PeriodicalId":47609,"journal":{"name":"Review of Public Personnel Administration","volume":"93 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147454673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose and test a novel demands-resources model of civil servants’ corruptibility from a micro-level perspective, focusing on important personality and job-related demands and resources, that is, personality traits, motives, and states. Drawing on experimental evidence ( Obs . = 263) from Swiss public administration, this study reveals how public service motivation and social value orientation function as integrity-enhancing resources but through different psychological mechanisms. Furthermore, Machiavellianism and psychopathy—but not narcissism—significantly stimulate civil servants’ capacity to morally disengage and hence increase corruptibility, serving as integrity-draining demands, while job-related burnout has no effect. These novel insights contribute to the “bright side” discourse of PSM, advance the conceptual understanding of administrative corruption, and expand the state-versus-trait debate of public integrity, providing important insights for the effective design of anti-corruption strategies and public personnel selection for public integrity.","PeriodicalId":47609,"journal":{"name":"Review of Public Personnel Administration","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147393408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates its impact on Subordinates’ job performance in the South Sudan public sector. A cross-sectional quantitative design was employed, collecting data from 370 civil servants across various ministries in Juba, South Sudan. Data analysis utilized SPSS and SmartPLS employing structural equation modeling (SEM) to test direct, mediating, and moderating effects. Results indicate that inclusive leadership is significantly associated with public employees’ job performance, with motivation and engagement partially mediating this relationship. Organizational culture, particularly the dimensions of involvement and adaptability, significantly moderated these effects. These findings demonstrate that inclusive leadership can significantly improve job performance, even in fragile state contexts, by repairing social exchange, redefining motivation, and serving as a vital resource, challenging the universal applicability of Western theories. Practical implications and future research direction are discussed.","PeriodicalId":47609,"journal":{"name":"Review of Public Personnel Administration","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147274324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
