This study adopted a questionnaire method in research of public officials in Busan. Data were collected from 273 officials for empirical analysis.

Chapter 2 examines the relationships between job characteristics and organizational commitment by the organization level, sets up hypotheses. Chapter 3 deals with research design and selects dependent & independent variables through the explanatory factor analysis Chapter 4 analyzes the research data empirically with the correlation analysis, ANOVA, moderating-regression analysis, tests a series of hypotheses and suggests interpretation of the results. Chapter 5 provides summation of the study and suggests research agenda for continuing studies. Defining variables to find influencing factors do through the exploratory factor analysis. Dependent variables are composed of two factors. These are value commitment and commitment to stay. Independent variables are composed of five factors, these are : skill variety, task identity, task significance, autonomy, feedback. In conclusion, this study sets up a series of hypotheses on the bases of causality between dependent and independent variables and tested them empirically.
