Abstract: The Public Service Motivation is a rising theory in west modern managerial psychology, which has a history no more than 30 years since the construct was proposed, and a history only 20 years for its measurement. This article summarized the main achievement of the measurement of Public Service Motivation, which includes the developing of three forms of measuring, the reliability and the validity of its scaling, and the corresponding verification across different cultures. Reflexion was given on the theoretical construction and its statistical modeling, based on which, the revision of the scaling was summarized. Several perspectives were also point out for the future research: 1) the simultaneous measurement of multi-motive; 2) the implicit measurement of Public Service Motivation; and 3) the indigenization of the measurement of Public Service Motivation.

Key words: Public Service Motivation, measurement, retrospective, perspective
