“…Also, motivation does not always come from a desire to attain 'goals' but includes 'living for the other'. Babula (Babula, 2013) and Babula et al (Babula, et al, 2020) claimed that pure altruism exists beyond self-actualization. Therefore, one of the fundamental problems for management and leaders in an organization is how to motivate employees to high achievement (Vo, et al, 2022).…”

Many studies have shown that public criticism of the low quality of public services has occurred everywhere, from top-level to lower-level government services. This circumstance is also possible in the regional Government of Aceh Singkil Regency. The Indonesian government, including Aceh Singkil Regency, used e-government—the use of technology for information and communication in government administration—to address the problem of poor public service. This article examines the effect of work motivation and quality of e-government on service quality by considering the mediating effects of employee satisfaction on employees. This type of research is quantitative associative by using a convenience sampling technique from a sample of 103 Civil Servants in the Government of Aceh Singkil Regency. Data was collected using a reliable and validated Likert scale questionnaire. The classical assumption test was then analyzed by The classical assumption test was subsequently examined through the statistical Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis using Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS), and the Sobel test was applied to analyzing the acquired data—additionally, reviews of the literature assisted in gathering the data process. The study’s results demonstrate a positive and significant influence on the work motivation variable, the partial effect of e-government quality on job satisfaction and service quality. There is no effect of job satisfaction on service quality. The job satisfaction variable, either directly or as a mediating variable, has yet to be able to contribute to service quality.

“…One area for further research is whether development exists beyond self-actualization, where further motivational pursuits associate with happiness. Babula ( 2013 ) revised Maslow’s pyramidal model and Inglehart’s model based on it using a hyperbolic paradigm to describe human motivational development. The Babula model agreed with Maslow’s initial sequence of human motivational development and the parallel development of self-interested forms of altruism, identified as endocentric altruism.…”

“…The Babula model agreed with Maslow’s initial sequence of human motivational development and the parallel development of self-interested forms of altruism, identified as endocentric altruism. Maslow’s later transpersonal psychology is when a self-actualizer “might metaphysically recognize that others share their meaning” and seek to reduce others’ suffering to reduce their own (Babula, 2013 , p. 33). However, as the motivation behind transpersonal psychology is self-interested, Babula suggests that the concept folds back into the original notion of self-actualization.…”

This study explores whether Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and Inglehart’s values paradigm underlies associations between prayer frequency and happiness. Responses from a comparative analysis of wave six from the World Values Survey for India ( n = 4078), Turkey ( n = 1605) and the USA ( n = 2232) were used to examine associations between prayer frequency and happiness. Prayer frequency interacted with Maslow’s model to associate with happiness in India and Turkey. The self-expression variables entirely supplant prayer and are associated with happiness in the USA. The implications are discussed for generating models that impact happiness.

“…Psychopaths are people with no conscience with which to restrain or regulate their self-centred behaviour and no empathy with other people to give them any sense of compassion. Altruistic behaviour may give most people a sense of accomplishment but such activity does not appeal to psychopaths (Babula, 2013) who care only about themselves. They therefore tend to engage in selfishly inspired, ruthless and unethical behaviour which is physically or psychologically harmful to others (Hare, 1999).…”

Psychopathy screening for public leadership

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to re-open a debate as to whether candidates for public leadership should be screened for psychopathy. Design/methodology/approach This is a conceptual paper which examines the diffuse literature concerning psychopaths in public leadership positions. Findings Psychopathy researchers have been divided as to whether psychopathic individuals should be screened out of leadership positions in public and corporate life. Recent evidence from bullying research and historical research into psychopaths in politics sheds new light on this issue. Practical implications There is increasing evidence that psychopaths are detrimental to the organisations they work for, to other employees, to the environment and to society. Screening for psychopathy should therefore be considered. This may help to prevent governments entering into illegal wars and committing crimes against humanity. Screening in the corporate sector may also help prevent the worst excesses of greed and fraud that were evident in collapses like Enron and the Mirror Group as well as in the events leading up to the global financial crisis of 2008. Originality/value The paper makes a contribution to the literature on public leadership by bringing together the diverse reports on the effects of psychopaths in public organisations like the National Health Service, publicly listed corporations, academia and politics. The paper uses historical and corporate examples to illustrate the initially favourable impression that psychopathic leaders can make but the ultimately disastrous outcomes they engender.
