Public Service Motivation (PSM) is defined as an individual's orientation to delivering services to people with a purpose to do good for others and society. As one of the most important research issues in the field of public administration, PSM plays a key role in government manpower reform for motivating civil servants towards achieving public purposes.However, there may exist cultural differences in motives toward public service, and it is essential to elaborate PSM as both a construct and measure in terms of socio-economic contexts while applying the concept of PSM to domestic issues. With emphasis on the possible antecedents and consequences of PSM, this study aimed to review the literature about the PSM constructs and measures as the foundation of developing local-related PSM measurement model. This paper concluded with some remarks for further development of PSM in local settings.
