TL;DR: In this article, the differences and similarities between public service motivation (PSM) and prosocial motivation are systematically carved out by systematically carving out the differences between these concepts, leading to different types of prosocial behaviour.

TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical framework is proposed to explain the mechanisms underlying the relationships between public service motivation and its potential dark sides at individual and organizational levels of analysis, and a number of propositions refer to different parts of the conceptual framework that provide directions for future research.

Abstract: Public professionalism is increasingly subject to organizational and societal pressures, which has led to ambiguity concerning its nature Professionals face conflicting situations due to potential clashes between multifaceted professional, organizational, and societal factors This raises questions about how these factors affect professional work, how professionals experience conflicts and how they cope We investigate such conflicts, confusion, and coping strategies in a group of veterinary inspectors Using semi-structured interviews, we analyse their work and link the resulting insights to different perspectives on professionalism We show that workers experience conflicts as less stressful when they accept organizational factors, or when they are able to enact a more integrated set of professional/organizational work principles We call this organizing professionalism We trace factors that hinder and favour such organizing coping strategies

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that individual interpretations of what it means to serve the public interest need to be considered to get a grip on the concept of public service motivation and its behavioral consequences.

TL;DR: The authors systematically reviewed 93 theoretical and empirical articles and books on the topic of teacher leadership and developed a conceptual framework unifying the current knowledge about teacher leadership, its definitions, and its antecedents and outcomes at different levels of analysis.
