First, the importance of mission match to persistent prosocial work effort in public and nonprofit organizations is discussed. Then a real?effort experiment is used to test whether mission match is associated with the persistence of individual work effort under conditions of unreasonable performance expectations. Findings show that subjects� narrow identification with the mission of the particular organization on whose behalf they are working is a more important determinant of persistence than the extent to which one reports self?sacrifice as a motivation toward service. Moreover, reported self?sacrifice does not appear to reinforce the relationship between mission match and persistent prosocial work behavior. - Reproduced.  aCivil service  aMotivation  aPublic service  aMarvel, John D. and Wen, Bo  aPublic Administration Review  aCivil service  c506933d506933  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-12-07h78(1), Jan/Feb, 2018: p.116-125.pAR118728r2018-12-07w2018-12-07yAR
