Abstract: In the last decades, an increasing attention has been given to the relationship between job satisfaction and employee motivation in the public sector. In a world of constant change and growing demands, it is crucial for public sector organizations to understand and promote a work environment that supports both employee satisfaction and motivation. This article explores this complex relationship and proposes ways in which managers and leaders in the public sector can improve job satisfaction and employee motivation. This article reviews the literature on public service motivation and job satisfaction. In the first part we conduct a brief literature review of the concepts involved. In the main part of the article, we examine 33 WoS articles on the relationship between public service motivation and job satisfaction. In the discussion section, we stress some points relevant for public management practice.
