16. More of My Story; or, How Religion and Public Service Motivation Shaped/s My Conception of Work

I get a bit more vulnerable this week as I recount how my evangelical upbringing shaped/s my view of academic work. Ultimately, I thought it was critical to pick a career where I was doing good and I thought that service-through-career would sustain me. Now I'm not so sure. Ever the academic, I draw connections between my upbringing and Wang, van Witteloostuijn, and Heine's (2020)'s article "A Moral Theory of Public Service Motivation" published in Hypothesis and Theory.
