The results, based on a three-wave study of 1,397 French police officers, empirically support expectations that the two regulatory orientations may activate PSM differently and are positively associated with change-OCB and maintenance-OCB. These findings underline the role of regulatory orientations as key psychological sources of PSM and OCB, extending existing public administration knowledge. This paper suggests that police organizations could benefit from integrating regulatory focus insights into their practices. publisher: Wiley Blackwell date: 2021-11 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Molines, Mathieu , Mifsud, Mathieu, Akremi, Assâad El and Perrier, Anthony (2021) Motivated to Serve: A Regulatory Perspective on Public Service Motivation and Organizational Citizenship Behavior.
