<h3><strong>Motivation for the Public Service (D-3)</strong></h3>
Description
An account of the resource
<em><strong>"I was having a better time at my job than were those of my peers who had opted for private practice. Life as a public servant was more interesting. The work was more challenging. The encouragement and guidance from good mentors was more genuine. And the opportunities to take initiative and to see real results were more frequent." </strong></em><br /> <br />- Sandra Day O'Connor<br /> <br />Motivation for public service is often referred to as a “calling” and those who hear it are determined to do meaningful work that will make a difference to their communities. Often those with the motivation for public service come from families with experience working in public service. They choose to pursue an education that will prepare them for working in administrative positions or in one of the many fields of public service, such as social welfare, law enforcement, and firefighting. Those who choose to work in nonprofit organizations also share the motivation for public service with concern for the wellbeing of others over and above their own gain.<br /> <br />Many who study motivation for public service do so to inform public sector recruitment processes. Person-to-organization fit is an important aspect of successful personnel recruitment. Studies have found that the motivation for public service differs from the motivation for careers in private businesses. Another indication of motivation for public service is an interest in public policy. Public policy development is fundamental to public service since public policies indicate the focus of public service delivery and the role and function of public agencies and their employees.<br /> <br />Socialization also influences individuals’ motivation for public service. A form of socialization, in addition to parental and educational, is professional socialization. Membership in professional public service organizations, participation in their conferences and other networking activities contributes a lot to building awareness of what is entailed in responding to the call to public service.

Description
An account of the resource
Dick Milford was a clergyman, educator, and philanthropist in England during the first half of the 20th century who is best known for his role in the foundation of Oxfam. After serving in World War I, Milford returned home to England to graduate college and went on to become and educator and priest both home in England and away in India. Milford then settled down as vicar of St. Mary’s, the Oxford University church. Amid World War II, Milford and some other individuals at Oxford met to discuss ways to aid Greece, which was occupied by axis forces and suffering from famine as a result of the Allies-led blockades. This meeting produced the Oxford Committee for Famine Relief (Oxfam) of which Milford became the inaugural chairman. He resigned his role in 1947 for a life of theological education, but Oxfam persisted.
Today Oxfam is one of the largest and most recognizable philanthropic organizations in the world. It is now a confederation of 19 individual charities split up amongst specific nations, but its altruistic output spans the entire globe. The confederation has a broad agenda, with missions that include trade justice, public health, gender equality, and climate change.
