Abstract
Public service motivation (PSM) is one of the original research concepts developed in the field of public administration. This study aims at reviewing PSM research in Korea in comparison with the research trends in the world and exploring theories of PSM in the context of Korea. The study provides a systematic literature review of 160 journal articles published until June 2018, discussing performances and future directions in the PSM research in Korea. The literature reviews focused on three key aspects: studies on the concept and measure of PSM, on the antecedents of PSM and on the outcomes of PSM. Also, it investigated plausible theories on PSM in the context of Korea. The study suggested clues for developing theories primarily on the effects of formal and informal institutions on PSM, the relationships between various motives, and the influences of PSM on the public administration and behaviors of public employees in Korea.
