This article investigates whether university students’ job motivations are different depending on their sectoral job choice. Using stratified random sampling, the author surveyed 253 students in Singapore (response rate = 48 percent). Logistic regression analysis results provided evidence that public service motivation is a significant motivator to Singapore university students who pursue public-sector careers. The results, however, do not exclude the importance of extrinsic motivators such as high salary or opportunity for advancement, which are important to both public- and private-sector job seekers.
