The value of service in the structure of the professional identity of civil servants: theoretical and methodological approaches to research
The article presents a theoretical and methodological analysis of approaches to understanding service and its place in the structure of the professional identity of civil servants. The analysis draws on Russian and foreign scholarship on service, public service motivation and professional identity. The established approaches to interpreting service in the context of public administration are examined; researchers’ views on the content of civil servants’ professional identity and the place of the value of service within it are summarised; and the interrelations between the value of service and professional identity are identified at the theoretical level. It is shown that service constitutes the value-and-meaning core of a servant’s professional identity and ensures the congruence of personal and institutional values. The conclusion is made about the prospects of empirical operationalization of the concept of «service value» in the context of the identity structure of government civil servants.
