ABSTRACT

Public servants in the United States are more religious than their non-public service counterparts. The objective of this article is to determine whether this distinction holds cross-nationally. Using ISSP data from 37 nations, this research shows that the United States is not unique; government workers in most countries examined more frequently attended religious services than workers in the other sectors. The implications of this finding are examined. Religion is associated with several work-related attitudes and behaviors. Including public service motivation. Potential adverse effects include discrimination and increased conflict.

宗教与公共管理：美国例外论还是全球规范？

摘要

美国的公务员比他们的非公务员同行更虔诚。本文的目的是确定这种区别是否存在于跨国界。使用来自 37 个国家的 ISSP 数据，这项研究表明美国并不是唯一的；大多数国家的政府工作人员比其他部门的工作人员更频繁地参加宗教仪式。研究了这一发现的含义。宗教与几种与工作有关的态度和行为有关。包括公共服务动机。潜在的不利影响包括歧视和冲突加剧。
