Delineating the theoretical link between individuals' discretion and motivations in the private sector and their public service behaviours in Chinese society, this study explored public service motivation (PSM) in for-profit organizations. A survey of 348 employees from three engineering...

Purpose – The purpose of this research is to investigate how generalisable the public service motivation (PSM) observed in Western society is to China and to examine the effects of public service motivation on job satisfaction. Design/methodology/approach – Exploratory factor analysis and...

The critical thickness for ferroelectricity and magnetoelectric effects have been investigated for the multiferroic tunnel junction with symmetric and asymmetric metallic electrodes based on density functional theory. The ferroelectric polarization of a barrier is still retained down to 2 unit...

In this paper, we study cluster synchronization in general bi-directed networks of nonidentical clusters, where all nodes in the same cluster share an identical map. Based on the transverse stability analysis, we present sufficient conditions for local cluster synchronization of networks. The...
