This study investigates how role conflict and emotional labor affect job satisfaction, affective commitment, and normative commitment among social welfare public officials in northern Gyeonggi-do, focusing on the moderating role of organizational characteristics. Survey data analyzed through regression and moderation tests revealed that both role conflict and emotional labor reduced the dependent variables, while organizational characteristics alleviated these effects. Specifically, hierarchical structure, rule enforcement, and participation buffered role conflict, while rule enforcement, discretion, and participation buffered emotional labor. The findings highlight the importance of organizational characteristics as moderators, offering both theoretical and policy implications.
