Fostering public service motivation through workplace trust : evidence from public managers in Taiwan by Chen, Chung-An, Hsieh, Chih-Wei, Chen, Don-Yun

“…The authors offer a new angle to the germane studies, arguing that workplace trust as a result of human interaction and personal choice has a bearing on PSM. It is postulated that, when public managers perceive the trustworthiness of citizens, colleagues, and agency leaders, their PSM increases. …”

The golden thread of Woolmington – A domestic yarn that should never have been spun by Dyer, Karen

“…The case of Woolmington v The Director of Public Prosecutions [1935] 1 AC 462 is renowned for Viscount Sankey’s ‘golden thread’ ruling, that the prosecution bears the burden of proof at trial. However, what is frequently overlooked is that this judgment arises from domestic violence. …”
