    Este artículo presenta el concepto de motivación para el servicio público (MSP) en el contexto español y su posible utilidad como instrumento de gestión pública para evaluar si los empleados de los servicios públicos están motivados por valores públicos. En el artículo se analiza la relación entre MSP y dos de las principales actitudes, compromiso organizacional y satisfacción en el trabajo, que la literatura ha considerado consecuencias posibles de tener un elevado nivel de MSP. Los resultados muestran una relación positiva entre MSP y compromiso organizativo pero no entre MSP y satisfacción en el trabajo. Este tipo de investigación tiene un elevado grado de aplicabilidad en gestión de personal

    This article presents the concept of public service motivation (PSM) in the Spanish context and its utility as a public management instrument to evaluate whether providers of public services are motivated by public values. The analysis checks the relation between PSM and two of the main attitudes, organizational commitment and job satisfaction, that the literature has considered likely consequences of having a high level of PSM. The results point to a positive relation between PSM and organizational commitment but not between PSM and job satisfaction. This type of research is highly applicable in the management of human resources.
