Dec Feminist scholars of public administration have critiqued the dominance of masculine imagery in public administration theory and practice. However public service motivation is one area of public administration discourse that contains both feminine and masculine imagery. Focusing on Perry's multidimensional public service motivation scale the authors borrow from a range of social science literature to contend that compassion is a feminine dimension of public service motivation wheares attraction to policy making and commitment to public service ar masculine dimensions. Data from a survey of public managers in state health and human service agencies reveal that women score higher on Perry's compassion's subscale but also on attraction to policy making. No statistically significant gender differences were found on commitment to public service. Women Public administration Pandey, Sanjay K.
