Individual-Level Factors and Organizational Performance in Government Organizations

Individual-Level Factors and Organizational Performance in Government Organizations In this journal, Rainey and Steinbauer proposed a theory of effective government organizations, and Brewer and Selden conducted an empirical study with data from the 1996 Merit Principles Survey that confirmed most hypothesized relationships in the theoretical model of organizational performance. Following these studies, this study focuses only on the individual-level factors, such as job satisfaction, affective commitment, public service motivation, and organizational citizenship behavior. It empirically tests the effects of these variables on organizational performance in the public sector of Korea. When the survey data of 1,739 public employees in government agencies were analyzed, the hypothesized relationships in the proposed model were confirmed. I discuss the survey results in light of previous studies, especially those of Brewer and Selden. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory Oxford University Press

Abstract

In this journal, Rainey and Steinbauer proposed a theory of effective government organizations, and Brewer and Selden conducted an empirical study with data from the 1996 Merit Principles Survey that confirmed most hypothesized relationships in the theoretical model of organizational performance. Following these studies, this study focuses only on the individual-level factors, such as job satisfaction, affective commitment, public service motivation, and organizational citizenship behavior. It empirically tests the effects of these variables on organizational performance in the public sector of Korea. When the survey data of 1,739 public employees in government agencies were analyzed, the hypothesized relationships in the proposed model were confirmed. I discuss the survey results in light of previous studies, especially those of Brewer and Selden.
