Studies show how engagement is explained through job characteristics in the Job Demands-Resource model, yet a more nuanced approach has been proposed. In this qualitative study, home caregivers’ perceptions of job characteristics are investigated. Semi-structured interviews and observations reveal three main themes: Optimization, helping others, and emotional work. These show a dual perception of job characteristics consequently influencing the experienced engagement. Using Public Service Motivation literature, these dual perceptions are discussed. - Reproduced.  aMotivation95383  aHansen, Jesper Rosenberg95384  aInternational Journal of Public Administration  aCivil service  2ddccAR  00102ddc40709383436aIIPAbIIPAd2019-05-10h41(13), Oct, 2018: p.1047-1060.pAR119665r2019-05-10yAR
