Abstract

Work in the public sector reflects democratic, economic, and social values as a whole. All institutions share the responsibility to deliver better value for citizens and businesses, thereby ensuring appropriate and meaningful sustainable economic and social development – i.e., prosperity for the Republic of N. Macedonia overall. For these reasons, this paper aims to define, establish, and highlight the importance of the public sector’s economic and social dimension, and to examine how, in both of its forms, that dimension affects motivation and job satisfaction among public-sector employees in the Republic of N. Macedonia.
