The local administration is being segmented and specialized by appearance of the popular election age, up sizing of an organizational scale and diverse functions. The role of middle managers is very important in showing administrative capacity of public officials who are members, enhancing effectiveness of an organization, and strengthening competitiveness through innovation and change.
The present thesis sets leadership and organizational culture as independent variables, job satisfaction and organizational commitment as outcome variables, which are variables of organizational effectiveness and clarifies its influence relations to research the role of middle managers of local administrative organizations, For that reason analyzed 474 copies of questionnaires targeting local public officials less than class 6, who work at local governments to find out whether the self-efficacy of local public officials does the mediating role in organizational effectiveness by using SPSS 12.0.
The test result of hypothesis is as follows.
First, the influence relations of leadership of middle managers on organizational effectiveness have a signigicant influence on individual consideration, intellectual stimulation, charisma, conditional compensation and management by exception. and the charisma didn't have influence, as a result of a regression analysis between the transformational leadership on job satisfaction and organizational commitment, which are variables of organizational effectiveness and the influence relations such as individual consideration, intellectual stimulation, charisma, conditional compensation and management by exception. which are subordinate variables of transactional leadership. It can be seen that they want intellectual and individual leaders rather than powerful charisma and work promotion by self-regulation due to change of local administration according to the popular election age.
Second, all subordinate variables have a signigicant influence on intellectual stimulation, charisma, conditional compensation and management by exception, but didn't have influence on individual consideration in the influence relations of leadership of middle managers on organizational culture. When it is considered that the culture is community organizations, it can be thought that they hope independent action in the differentiation relations with other members in an aspect of the individual consideration. The conservative aspect of public officials can be seen.
Third, it appeared that the influence relations of organizational culture on organizational effectiveness have a significant influence on rational culture, group culture and development culture excluding hierarchical culture, as a result of a regression analysis on relations with subordinate variables of organizational culture on job satisfaction and organizational commitment. As the civil service organization of local administrative organizations is showing action according to the laws and rules, the hierarchical culture doesn't have an influence on job satisfaction and organizational commitment which are organizational effectiveness.
Fourth, the mediating effect of self-efficacy on organizational effectiveness and leadership of middle managers is showing that all of individual consideration, intellectual stimulation, charisma, conditional compensation and management by exception, which are subordinate variables of leadership, are partially mediating job satisfaction and organizational commitment which are variables of organizational effectiveness, as a result of executing a hierarchical regression analysis on five subordinate variables such as job satisfaction, organizational commitment, transformational leadership and transactional leadership.
This means that local public officials strengthen their capacity according to informationalization and epochal change and able to show their capacity or unable show their capacity by leadership of an organizational leader.
Fifth, the mediating effect of self-efficacy on organizational effectiveness and organizational culture is showing that all rational culture, development culture, group culture and hierarchical culture are partially mediating job satisfaction and organizational commitment as a result of executing a hierarchical regression analysis on four subordinate variables of organizational culture such as job satisfaction and organizational commitment. It can be understood that the organizational culture also has a partial influence on organizational effectiveness according to capacity of members like leadership.
As a research result, this thesis has a meaning in verifying the influence that the leadership of middle managers and organizational culture of local public officials working at local governments, which are a key of local administration, have on organizational effectiveness and the mediating effect of self-efficacy that local public officials aware of.
This is implying that the self-efficacy of middle managers and organizational members are important in the contemporary local administrative organizations that requires flexible and transformational organization structure in response to rapid environmental change. Especially, it appeared that the leadership and organizational culture of heads of the Department and Section, who are middle managers have an influence on job satisfaction and organizational commitment of public officials. The job satisfaction and organizational commitment of public officials can support a policy promotion will of head of an organization in the popular election age, solve inconvenience of residents with active response by showing self-efficacy in complaints handling with residents, and improve the spirit servicing for residents with active administration.
When it is viewed in the interpretation like this, the importance of heads of the Department sand Section, who are middle managers, were verified in local administration, and because the descriptive power of transformational leadership is higher than transactional leadership in an aspect of leadership and organizational effectiveness, the preceding researches are being verified. As the descriptive power of group culture and development culture is high in an aspect of organizational culture and organizational effectiveness, the preceding researches were verified.
As the mediating effect of self-efficacy does a partial mediating role in all variables of leadership and organizational culture, the self-efficacy of public officials was improved, therefor the incentive or authority capable of leading members should be given to heads of the Department sand Section, who are middle managers.
