In the first place, it applies an abridged version of Perry's measurement scale in the Dutch public sector. although the results of the analysis show that PSM is a valid concept in this context, doubts arise as to whether one should use the same four dimensions as the USA. Second, the analysis shows that - contrary to expectations - PSM is of equal importance in the segments of the Dutch public sector that were investigated. Third, the effect of PSM on three performance-related behavioural outcome variables (commitment, willingness to exert effort and perceived job performance) is analysed. In addition to PSM, a measurement of PSM fit is induded. the hypothesis that PSM fit mediates the relationship between PSM and the outcome variables is rejected. In practice, it appears that both PSM and PSM fit have independent effects on these outcome variables. - Reproduced.
