Abstract

A közszféra munkahelyként történő választását a jövedelmen kívül más szempon tok is motiválják. A biztonság iránti igény mögött nemcsak belső késztetés, hanem családi okok is meghúzódhatnak. Több olyan családi körülményt azonosítottunk, ami valószínűbbé teszi, hogy valaki a közszférában vállaljon munkát: ha valaki egyedül neveli gyerekeit, ha tartósan beteg, ha házas-/élettársának vagy gyerekének tartós betegsége van, nők esetében, ha férjük korábban munkanélküli volt. Ezeket az eseteket kockázatkerülő magatartás helyett pontosabb családi stratégiák optimalizálásaként értelmezni. A társadalmi hasznosság iránti igényt az önkéntes munkavégzéssel közelítettük. Ez a motívum fontos szerepet játszik a humán szolgáltatások területén, de egyáltalán nem jelenik meg a közigazgatásban dolgozók esetében. Az egyenlőtlenségekkel szembeni ellenérzésen keresztül a jövedelmek újraelosztása iránti igény is kapcsolódhat a szociális elkötelezettséghez. Ilyen hatás az egészségügyben és a szociális ágazatban dolgozók esetében mutatható ki. Az önkéntes munkavégzést valószínűbbé teszi a magasabb életkor, a magasabb iskolai végzettség, a gyerekek száma és a településméret csökkenése. A jövedelem, az iskolai végzettség, a gyerekszám és a településméret növekedésével csökken a jövedelmek újraelosztása iránti rendkívül magas igény.
