Abstract

Extant public management research investigated the determinants of public employees’ job satisfaction. However, most public management studies tested the relationship between limited numbers of factors and job satisfaction. The current study seeks to investigate the direct effects of supervisor satisfaction, public service motivation, and job characteristics on job satisfaction and the indirect effects mediated by organizational commitment. Survey data collected from central government agencies in the Republic of Korea are used in the empirical analysis. The findings suggest that all three factors indirectly affect job satisfaction through organizational commitment. Only job characteristics were found to directly affect job satisfaction.
