520			_aThe authors use an online experiment to test the proposal that �mission match� leads to persistent prosocial work effort, whereby employees go above and beyond remunerated job responsibilities to deliver a public good. 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.
