Previous studies have produced significant distinctions between public- and private-sector employees with respect to public service motivation (PSM) and PSM-related variables. Little, however, is known about whether those variables are associated with employment choice at a pre-entry level. This article will address this gap in the literature by exploring the effect of PSM on college students’ sector choice in Korea. In previous research on PSM, three types of PSM measures—Perry’s PSM scale, wor

Introduction: The aging population in South Korea, characterized by an increasing number of older adults living alone, has raised concerns about its implications on mental health, specifically social isolation and loneliness that accompanies solitary living arrangements. This study explores the impact of living arrangements on the mental well-being of Korean older adults by focusing on the prevalence of depression and the role of social isolation in the context of evolving family structures and

Introduction: This study examines the dynamics of public service motivation (PSM), organizational commitment, and perceived innovative culture and their collective influence on innovative behavior in public organizations. It uniquely focuses on intrinsic motivational factors, extends the scope of motivational studies to the public sector, and highlights the crucial role of organizational culture in fostering innovation. Methods: A web-based survey was administered to 1,021 public servants in the

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to investigate residual rotation of patients with forearm amputation and the contribution of involved muscle to residual rotation. METHODS: Testing was performed using five fresh-frozen cadaveric specimens prepared by isolating muscles involved in forearm rotation. Amputation was implemented at 25 cm (wrist disarticulation), 18 cm, or 10 cm from the tip of olecranon. Supination and pronation in the amputation stump were simulated with traction of involve

From a reform strategy that promises to restore citizen confidence in government, to a hydra-headed monster that has produced unintended negative consequences, performance management has indeed been a controversial topic in the field of public administration. This study examines how performance-based management practices shape organizational behavior, specifically employee job turnover intention. Using data from the 2005 Merit Principles Survey, the authors find that performance-based reward sys

With the growing popularity of pay-for-performance (PFP) program as a performance-oriented managerial practice in the public sector, many public administration scholars are raising concerns that the use of PFP in the public sector could have negative consequences for employees and organizations. This study mainly investigates how pay systems affects the job attitude of employees. Drawing on theory and prior studies, this paper hypothesizes that public manager’s job attitudes differ between agenc

This paper proposes a novel trajectory generation method considering physical system limitations such as maximum velocity, acceleration, and jerk. Also, the trajectory generation method uses a digital convolution for reducing computational load in robotic motion applications. The method to be proposed has several advantages; first, a continuously differentiable trajectory is simply obtained by applying successive convolution operations. Second, a resultant trajectory is always generated satisfyi

Survey research is a common tool for assessing public opinions, perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors for analyses in many social science disciplines. Yet, there is little knowledge regarding how specific elements of survey research methodology are applied in practice. This article examines four mainstream public administration journals over an 8-year period regarding survey data collection modes, sampling techniques, sample sizes, response rates, and data analytical techniques. The findings sho

Abstract We found that the surface relief grating(SRG)made the nematic liquid crystal(LC)align along the grating direction. The SRGs were photo-fabricated on a liquid crystalline azobenzene side-chain polymer film by the conventional holographic method. The twisted nematic liquid crystal(TNLC)cell was prepared using two SRG substrates or two rubbed polyimide substrates as alignment layers, and the LC alignment was investigated by measuring the transmittance of a 90°-TNLC cell located between cro

Natural disasters such as floods, tornadoes, and earthquakes happen everywhere around the world, taking many human lives and destroying untold property. In addition to natural disasters, terrorism has been recognized as another potential disaster in the United States since September 11, 2001. Local government is a first responder in all emergency situations, yet its resources and capacities to deal with these situations are restricted. To effectively respond to dangerous circumstances, local gov

While private-sector managerial practices are being widely adopted in the public sector, few studies have investigated how market mechanisms influence the motivation or behavior of members of public organizations, or whether there is a systematic difference in employee motivation or behavior between marketcentered settings and traditional civil service environments within the public sector. Analyzing large-scale survey data, this study investigates the difference in employee motivation between t

우리 헌법은 공무원에 대한 정치적 중립을 명시하고 있어 직업공무원은 정권교체 및 변동에 관계없이 집권세력의 정치적 이익을 위해 복무하지 않고 국민의 봉사자로서 중립적인 행정을 수행해야 한다. 행정의 계속성과 안정성을 위해 직업공무원제를 근간으로 하고 있지만 선거를 통해 국민의 지지를 받은 선출자가 국민과의 공약을 정책적으로 이행하기 위해 장관 등 정무직 공무원을 임명하는 엽관제도를 보완적으로 시행하고 있다. 직업공무원제와 엽관제는 양자가 모두 장점과 단점을 가지고 있다. 이 두 제도가 조화롭게 작동하면 이상적이겠지만, 박근혜 정부에서 임명직 공무원에 의한 인사농단 사례들은 두 제도가 조화롭게 운영되지 못할 때 직업공무원의 정치적 중립을 수호하기가 매우 어렵다는 것을 보여주었다. 이에 본 연구는 직업공무원제와 엽관제도를 이론적으로 검토하며, 지난 정부에서 발생한 임명직 공무원에 의한 직업공무원의 정치적 중립 침해사례를 통해 직업공무원제 하에서 정치적 중립의 한계를 살펴보고 이를 제도적

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is an industrial revolution in which people, technology, and data are mixed to drastically change the way we live. The collection and utilization of big data is one of the most important features to characterize the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The importance of public and administrative data is on the rise over time in the Fourth Industrial Revolution era. Public or administrative data plays an important role in establishing useful policies for the citizens and

현재 우리나라 교육기부 프로그램은 정부의 재정적 지원과 민간의 주도적 관리에 의해 운영되고 있으며 프로그램은 크게 ‘교육기부 지역센터’, ‘체육예술 거점대학’, ‘대학생 교육기부’ 프로그램 등으로 구성되어 있다. 이 연구는 교육기부 프로그램 중 지역센터의 모델학교 프로그램의 효과성 평가를 위해 선행연구와 전문가 평가에 근거하여 평가지표를 도출하였으며, 실험집단과 비교집단으로 나누어 준실험방법과 다층모형분석에 의한 효과성 평가를 수행하였다. 분석 결과 교육기부 프로그램은 성과에서 의미있는 효과를 창출하고 있으나 운영의 측면에서 개선이 필요한 것으로 나타났다.
