Abstract
Military cultural norms include leadership and motivation for public service. By applying Perry’s tool for measuring Public Service Motivation (PSM) a bridge of connecting civilian and military motivational models can be investigated. Confirmatory Factor Analysis conducted with Perry’s original and finalized instrument for a military centric sample indicates a different set of motivational dimensions. Future research directions to strengthen the connection between civilian and military aspects of Public Administration are discussed.
