공무원의 심리적 자본이 직무성과에 미치는 영향: 직무역량의 매개효과를 중심으로

초록

This study was to examine the relationships among local public officers' psychological capital, job competency, and job performance, and to identify the mediating role of job competencies in the links between psychological capital and job performance of local public officers. A total of 336 local public officers(i.e., 202 males, 133 females, and 1 unidentified) at Chungcheong province completed the questionnaire measuring their psychological capital, job competency, and job performance. Their average age was 38.84 years. Pearson's correlations indicated that all of variables(i.e., psychological capital, job competency, and job performance) were positively associated. Particularly, it was observed that the correlations between psychological capital and job performance was as high as the correlations between psychological capital and job competency, indicating that the psychological capital plays a core role in improving job performance. Structural equation modeling techniques were used to test the mediating role of job competency on the links between psychological capital and job performance. It was shown that psychological capital had a significant influence on job performance through job competency. In contrast, psychological capital's direct influence on job performance was not statistically significant. Results indicated that psychological capital of local public officials played a role to improve job performance indirectly by expanding job competency. Therefore, the program to boost up psychological capital should be included in job performance and job competency improvement program for local public officials.
