A search was conducted in January 2020 on Web of Science for articles with the term ‘Public Service Motivation’ in the article title. A total of n=52 articles were retrieved. Descriptive data were extracted by the author from all n=52 articles: including whether the article was empirical or theoretical in nature; the type of method used; the population sampled in the research; and the focus of the empirical research (whether PSM was considered in the underlying research as an antecedent, consequence, or moderator, and the key research question being considered). The appendix table provides a summary of the extracted descriptive data.
