The relationship between the Big Five personality traits (Costa & McCrae, 1992) and public service motivation (PSM) was examined using a questionnaire survey of 277 public servants employed by 3 local governments in Taiwan. Regression analysis results indicated that extraversion was positively related to attraction to policy making, but negatively associated with self-sacrifice. Agreeableness was positively correlated to compassion. Conscientiousness was positively related to commitment to the public interest, compassion, and self-sacrifice. Neuroticism was negatively associated with commitment to the public interest and compassion, but positively with attraction to policy making. Openness to experience was positively correlated with all dimensions of PSM. In summary, personality traits can function as strong predictors of public service motivation.

The interest of governments in public-private partnerships (P3s) has increased in the last decade. In Canada, this fervor is no exception; decision makers recognize an ideal tool of governance, in the logic of the “new public management.” While academic literature has focused on the actual benefits or problems associated with this form of service delivery - namely cost calculations, risk sharing, contract duration and efficiency - little attention has been paid to the ethical character of this policy instrument. As far as public management in general is concerned, ethics is generally an afterthought (Ghere, 1996). Where P3s are concerned, this quote is even more relevant. Given the efficiency mantra at the heart of P3s as a new policy instrument, it is no wonder that questions of values and public interest come second to promised or expected financial savings sought by political leaders. In order to tackle the role of ethics in public-private partnerships, this article takes a policy formulation stance and stresses the conflicts of values at the heart of this political choice and the challenges it involves for public interest and policy making in the long run.

Sheer Number

Little has been written about the Foreign Office reforms of 1919. Contemporaries hoped that war-time experiences would lead to a massive overhaul of the whole diplomatic machine. Radical critics, in particular, were vehement in their insistence that the diplomatic and foreign-policy-making process and the diplomatic services should be subjected to ‘democratic’ oversight and control. Even the less radical reformers believed that the transition from war to peace would provide the opportunity for modernizing and rationalizing the existing administrative system. Yet the changes introduced in the years of peace proved to be less decisive than any of these men intended. The difficulty arose from the sheer number of problems to be solved, a confusion of aims among those responsible for reform, financial considerations and a sharp diminution in public interest and pressure after 1919.
