- Abstract
- This article investigates whether university students job motivations
are different depending on their sectoral job choice. Using stratified random
sampling, the author surveyed 253 students in Singapore (response rate = 48
percent). Logistic regression analysis results provided evidence that public service
motivation is a significant motivator to Singapore university students who pursue
public-sector careers. The results, however, do not exclude the importance of
extrinsic motivators such as high salary or opportunity for advancement, which
are important to both public- and private-sector job seekers.
