Examining Public Service Motivation's Impact on Organizational Commitment: Focusing on Moderating Roles of Hygiene and Motivation Factors.

Despite previous studies on public service motivation among public sector employees, the empirical analysis of the influential contextual conditions that moderate public service motivation's impact on employees' work attitudes remains inadequate. Given these limitations, this study examines public service motivation's effects on public employees' organizational commitment and investigates how Herzberg's hygiene and motivation factors moderate the relationship between these aspects in the context of South Korea's central government. For this, we used the data of 1021 public employees from the Differences in the Values of Different Generations of Public Officials and Organizational Innovation Survey, which the Korea Institute of Public Administration had conducted in 2022.
