520 _aMonetary rewards have historically played a prominent role in public employee turnover. Additionally, non-monetary rewards such as internal environmental factors contribute to the ability to recruit, retain, and satisfy public employees. Our research seeks to apply the push and pull theory of motivation to the total reward (intrinsic and extrinsic rewards) preferences of county chief administrative officers (CAOs) in the state of Georgia. CAOs typically have job titles such as County Administrator or County Manager. In understanding which rewards are most valued by CAOs, local governments can better understand the ways their CAOs value different rewards. In other words, which rewards are most likely to “pull” a CAO to another position; and conversely, does the lack of certain rewards “push” CAOs towards other jurisdictions or even other careers? In addition, this research aims to examine whether demographic variables of CAOs impacts total reward preferences.- Reproduced https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/puar.13635
