Abstract: Over the past two decades, budget restrictions on governments affected employment levels and deteriorated many dimensions of the quality of work (Pedaci et al., 2020, p. 187). The public service motivation (PSM) is a subject that has received a lot of attention over time and is a topic that attracts many researchers (Wright, 2001). The relationship between motivation and performance in the public sector is a complex and important one. Many researchers suggest that is a positive correlation between these factors (Amoako-Asiedu & Obuobisa-Darko, 2017, Demerouti el al, 2010, Van Wingerden & Van der Stoep,2018) but this relationship depends on several factors including job satisfaction, career development and public sector motivation. Different reports on employee’s motivation show that staff are less motivated but performance-related pay (PRP) can help improve performance when it is applied properly. (OECD, nd).
