Profile of Motivated Social Workers: Evidence from the Philippines
Article Sidebar

บทคัดย่อ
Empirical evidences have shown the many antecedents that may increase or dampen the altruistic motive of government workers. This article investigates the public service motive of Filipino social workers and how their individual characteristics such as age, education, length of service, and pursuit of pay might affect motivated work. Employing quantitative method, the study used Eta squared to measure the association between variables and the effect size. Findings suggest that Filipino social workers are highly motivated to serve. Results also indicate that PSM is associated with both age and length of service, which can inform policy discussions to further improve the design and implementation of holistic intervention programs that will renew and increase the motivation to serve of aging and long-tenured employees. The non-association with pursuit of pay conforms with the autonomous perspective of PSM.
