Today, organizations and companies are focusing on organizational culture to promote sustainable growth by emphasizing communication within the organization and removing risk factors in advance. In particular, to increase the competitiveness and efficiency of public enterprises, human resource management policies are being introduced to operate mainly on capabilities using organizational culture as a means. Organizational culture has a direct and positive effect on the relationship with organizational citizenship behavior, which could affect the thinking and behavior of organizational members. Moreover, organizational culture has an indirect effect in that organizational citizenship behavior can be derived from it again. Therefore, organizational culture is one of the important antecedents of organizational citizenship behavior and is also a variable that affects the attitudes and behaviors of organizational members.
Therefore, the purpose of the study was to confirm whether the direct and indirect influence relationship between organizational culture, organizational citizenship behavior, and organizational commitment in government appears similar to the results of previous studies. The study verified the mediating role of organizational commitment in the relationship between organizational culture and organizational commitment, and secondly, in the relationship between organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behavior. Thirdly, in the relationship between organizational culture and organizational citizenship behavior. The contactless survey was conducted among the members of government offices in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province.
A total of 202 responses were used for the final analysis. When the research results were summarized, all hypotheses were partially accepted. According to the result of Hypothesis 1-1 (organizational culture will be related to Affective Commitment), market culture among sub-items of organizational culture had a significant negative (-) effect on affective commitment. Hypothesis 1-2 (Organizational culture will be related to the continuous commitment of organizational commitment) showed that community culture and hierarchy culture had a significantly positive (+) effect on continuousness commitment. Hypothesis 1-3 (Organizational culture will be related to normative commitment of organizational commitment. It confirmed that market culture had a significant negative (-) effect on normative commitment, and Hypothesis 1-4 of organizational culture (organizational culture will be related to organizational commitment) had a significantly positive (+) effect on the entire organizational commitment to community culture
Affective commitment, among the items of organizational commitment, was found to have a statistically significant positive (+) effect on all items of organizational citizenship behavior, such as altruism (Hypothesis 2-1), conscientiousness (Hypothesis 2-2), sportsmanship (Hypothesis 2-3), courtesy (Hypothesis 2-4), citizenship (Hypothesis 2-5), and overall organizational citizenship behavior (Hypothesis 2-6).
The verification results of Hypothesis 3(organizational commitment will have a mediating effect on the relationship between organizational culture and organizational citizenship behavior) about the mediating effect of organizational commitment are as follows. It was confirmed that the continuous commitment of organizational commitment had a statistically significant partial mediating effect on the relationship between the hierarchical culture of organizational culture and the altruism of organizational citizenship behavior. It was found that there was a full mediating effect in the relationship between conscientiousness, citizenship, and organizational citizenship behavior as a whole. In particular, the affective commitment of organizational commitment clearly showed an effect through the mediation of organizational commitment in the relationship between the hierarchy culture of organizational culture, the conscience of organizational citizenship behavior, and the entire organizational citizenship behavior. However, Hypothesis 3 was also partially adopted as a result due to variables that did not meet the statistical level.
In this study, factors affecting the organizational commitment of public office workers at a statistically significant level were classified into personal and organizational levels, and comprehensively examined and analyzed. In particular, by identifying the role of organizational commitment as a parameter of organizational citizenship behavior, improvements and positive changes are needed in more diverse ways than now in managing the organization. The study is meaningful in that it attempted an approach to promote organizational citizenship behavior in a way that can contribute.
The results derived from this study will establish a desirable organizational culture at the overall level considering rapidly changing environmental changes inside and outside companies and organizations and the acceptance of organizational members’ values. Also, it will provide academic and practical implications for improving organizational effectiveness by inducing organizational citizenship behavior.
