“…The primary objective of the present study is to investigate the impact of social distancing on well-being. Given the importance of social connection to human wellbeing [11][12][13], social distancing would likely undermine an individual's sense of being socially connected to others and ultimately reduce one's psychological well-being. This line of thinking, however, may not hold during the current pandemic for two possible reasons.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc across the globe. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, limiting face-to-face interaction is the best strategy for reducing the spread of COVID-19. We investigate the impact of social distancing on social connection and well-being, while also considering the moderating influence of smartphone use. In a survey of 400 students, the study presented herein finds that smartphone use attenuates the negative impact of social distancing on social connection and well-being. Contrary to popular sentiments regarding the influence of smartphone use on well-being, increased smartphone use during the pandemic may foster social connection and well-being. Overall, the research presented provides evidence that the perceived loss of social connection with others is not a de facto outcome of social distancing. The study’s findings have important implications for public policymakers, government officials, and others, including consumer researchers. These implications include stressing the important role technology can play in staying socially connected during the current pandemic and the importance of reframing “social distancing” as “physical distancing with social connectedness”.

“…Several studies find empirical support for mixed-incentive settings (cf. Perry, 2014), in Bangladesh, China, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, among others (Alam & Kijima, 2020Chen et al, 2018;Hsieh, 2018;Ko & Jun, 2015;Mussagulova et al, 2019;Woo, 2018). Findings indicate that motives besides PSM affect the desire to apply for public sector jobs, such as prestige, job security, and high pay.…”

“…Most researchers conducted factor analysis to make sure that the construct validity was acceptable, however, there were few attempts to develop a culturally sensitive measure that would take into consideration local attitudes towards public sector employment and cultural values. One such attempt was Chen et al (2018) and involved insights from SDT, rather than PSM. Other studies (Kim, 2017a(Kim, , 2017bLee et al, 2019Lee et al, , 2020 included separate items on culture and values, such as Confucianism, while others still relied on interviews or content analysis to gauge the role of the context in civil servants' motivations, perceptions and attitudes (Moloney & Chu, 2016;Peretz, 2020;Wang & Wang, 2020).…”

“All still quiet on the non-Western front?” Non-Western public service motivation scholarship: 2015–2020

Public service motivation (PSM) scholarship has mushroomed since the early 2000s. After initially being an exclusively Western field of study, scholarship has recently become more internationalised. As a corollary, scholars have begun to formulate a research agenda for advancing non-Western PSM research. To contribute to this advancement, and examine how non-Western PSM scholarship has developed in recent years, we conduct a systematic literature review of 83 empirical studies published between 2015 and 2020. We assess origin of scholarship, theories, samples and methodologies used, and empirical findings on the relation between PSM and key antecedents and outcomes. Our findings show that non-Western PSM scholarship is growing, and increasingly using contextual variables to explain variance in findings in comparison with Western studies. That being said, ample opportunity remains for leveraging contextual and regional particularities to build a more distinct body of scholarship. We conclude with suggestions for further advancing non-Western PSM research.

“…Intrinsic motivation works on lifting employees' working morale, it makes them initiate their own behavior and select their own approaches for achieving goals, they consider the task itself as their own reward (Demircioglu & Chen, 2019;Chen et al, 2018). It is represented by the "employee's needs to challenge, to control, to satisfy curiosity and even to fulfill fantasy" (Lau & Roopnarain, 2014).…”
