At a time when the importance of social values has recently increased, the role of the public is expanding, and the need for public officials to raise public service value is growing. This study began with a concern about whether the level of public officials' public service value, which is considered abstract and unclear and difficult to hold accountable or improve, can be changed and, if possible, changed.
To see which variables have a decisive impact on the level of public service value, organizational characteristics(organizational culture, leadership, conflict management), personal characteristics (job satisfaction, motivation, work&life valance), and work characteristics (work diversity, importance, and autonomy) were examined.
Of course, public officials would have had different levels of public service value when they entered office. Separately, however, it has been confirmed that various factors experienced by public officials in public office affect the value of public office. This can be seen as a reminder of the need for public officials to come up with a desirable strategy for managing public service value at the personnel and organizational level. The cultivation of desirable public service value by public officials leads to desirable performance, which ultimately results in improved quality of administrative services to the people.
Among the many independent variables that affect the level of recognition of public service value, leadership has the greatest impact on public service value. In this work, leadership was measured through faith in and mutual trust in the boss, and expectations for improving individual skills through supporting the development of the boss's performance skills. Public officials set standards for public service value by looking at the actions of their bosses working together, consider the direction of public service value through the handling of work in the direction their bosses want, and form public office value under close influence.
Next, the impact of work diversity on public office value is significant. In this study, task diversity was measured through recognition of whether one's work has a complex nature and requires diverse and convergent capabilities in performing the task. The perception that ability can be developed and developed through complex work performance, and pride and responsibility for the work that results from this eventually have a valid impact on public service value recognition. In fact, public officials who have more experience in performing more diverse tasks and relatively complex tasks tend to handle their work in a more active manner with high confidence in their work, which leads to a virtuous cycle, forming a desirable public service value.
Finally, among personal characteristics, job satisfaction affects public service value. Satisfaction with work, self-efficacy in promoting work, and a sense of accomplishment through work have important effects on public service value.
As such, it can be seen that the factors that affect the public service value of public officials of the Ministry of Justice are mainly related to work and self-development through them.
Therefore, the establishment of strategies in terms of personnel and organizational management related to the three variables, leadership, job satisfaction, and work diversity, which affect the level of public officials' public service value, is an important point of this study. Of course, due to the nature of circular positions, individual public officials cannot be assigned only jobs that they want and are satisfied with. However, through careful analysis of organizational members, it is essential to think at an organizational level about ways to maximize job satisfaction and raise awareness of job diversity among human resources. In the absence of this perception at the organizational level, not only will the morale of the members of the organization decline, but also the improvement of the public service value of public officials is likely to become a further proposition. It is necessary to make progressive efforts to improve the public service value through job satisfaction, work diversity, and the expression of appropriate leadership to lead it to the right process.
Rather than providing formal education related to the public service value or simply inducing public officials to self-reflect, it is necessary to establish a practical strategy at the organizational level. By analyzing the characteristics of each type of work within the organization, analyzing the job satisfaction of organizational members, and establishing a customized strategy for each organization's leadership, which organizational members want. In order to solve the essential problems of work experience according to rank and gender, and to raise members' awareness of work diversity, some positions should be excluded. In addition, by using this as a factor to resolve the limitations of positions due to gender differences, various positions and gender can experience more diverse tasks can be considered.
