This study extends those findings to see if high PSM could have any negative effects on these same behaviors. Drawing from research on identity theory, it is hypothesized that a salient ?public service identity? could contribute to bureaucrats being more apt than others to report that they have voted in elections when they actually had not. Logit models using data covering a span of almost 30 years in the United States find support for the hypothesis. This work suggests that viewing PSM through the lens of identity theory may have broad implications for the field of public administration. - Reproduced.  aPersonnel, Public - Motivation  aBureaucracy  aAmerican Review of Public Administration  a117094  c117088d117088  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 48, Issue no: 2pAR117554r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
