Abstract
This article studies the motivation sources of public sector employees, depending on their age, gender and work seniority. The empirical study involved 756 people living in Jerusalem and the vicinity (Israel), who were on the staff of public institutions and private firms and engaged in various spheres of professional activities – education, culture, civil service, telecommunications, etc. The Motivation Sources Inventory, developed by J. Barbuto and R. Scholl, was used as a tool to measure the orientation of personnel motivation and the level of expressiveness of motivation sources. A statistical analysis of the obtained data shows some statistically significant differences in the level of motivation source, depending on the form of employment. The empirical data indicate statistically significant differences in the level of motivation sources of public sector employees, depending on age, gender and work experience. Key features of public sector employee motivation are viewed and discussed.
