Book excerpt: As an altruistic public sector employee it is imperative to exemplify qualities of motivation and high levels of engagement within their organization. Public sector employees and the organization thrive and grow together when their goals are aligned. There is a belief that public sector employees are uninspired, lazy and deliver subpar services to their organizations and communities because they are overworked and underpaid. This study will examine how the impact of motivation, compensation, levels of engagement and work environmental factors might influence and affect employee performance. The purpose of having motivation is to also feel self-fulfillment in one's role to make a difference and also feel a connection to the organizations mission. The organization that will be part of the research study to measure motivation and engagement will be the "Department of Children and Family Services". Approximately 216 social workers will be recruited to be a part of 4 clusters (groups) of focus groups within the greater Los Angeles area. Additionally, to gauge a better idea without any influences from their coworkers in-depth interviews will be held with 20 social workers to have one-on-one interactions with each other, so that researchers can focus on their own personal realities of what it is like to keep constant motivation and engagement with the never-ending pressures being a social worker.
