Leadership and Motivation Interrelationship in Public Sector Enterprises

Abstract

As a useful behavioral construct, the concept of motivation in public sector enterprises (PSEs) has piqued the interest of researchers and practitioners. Leaders in PSEs use this to motivate, attract, and retain employees. Indeed, Ritz and colleagues discover that among practitioner recommendations, one of the most frequently suggested interventions is the use of managerial and leadership practices to instill motivation among the employees in PSEs. The study aims to highlight the impact of leadership on motivation in PSEs. The study also explores the influence of leadership style on motivational outcomes in PSEs. Although there are single studies on leadership and motivation, little is known about how leadership and motivation interact in public sector enterprises (PSEs). The PRISMA protocol (preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis) is used in the study to systematically identify patterns in previous research. The study provides a comprehensive explanation of the state of leadership and motivation in public-sector enterprises.
