본 연구의 목적은 광역·기초자치단체 공무원의 경력정체와 조직몰입과의 관계에서 긍정심리자본의 조절효과와 조직공정성과 공직가치의 매개효과를 확인하는 것이다. 이를 위해 변인들에 대한 선행 연구를 검토하였고, 4급 이하 350명의 지방공무원을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 첫째, 공무원의 경력정체 수준이 높아질수록 공무원들의 직무몰입은 낮아졌다. 경력정체는 조직공정성을 낮추는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 둘째, 지방공무원의 조직공정성 수준이 증가할수록 직무몰입은 높아졌으며, 지방공무원의 조직공정성에 대한 인식이 증가할수록 공직가치도 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 지방공무원의 경력정체와 조직몰입 사이에 긍정심리자본의 조절효과는 유의하지 않았다. 넷째, 경력정체와 조직몰입 사이에 조직공정성의 매개효과는 유의한 것으로 확인되었으나, 경력정체와 조직몰입 간 조직공정성과 공직가치의 이중매개효과는 유의하지 않은 것으로 밝혀졌다.

This study aims to explore the relationship between career plateau among municipal and basic local government officials and organizational commitment, focusing on the moderating effect of positive psychological capital and the mediating effects of organizational fairness and public service values. A review and analysis of prior research on relevant variables were conducted to achieve this objective. Surveys were administered to 350 municipal and basic local government officials at or below grade 4, and the following conclusions were drawn. First, as the level of career plateau increases among officials, their organizational commitment tends to decrease. Additionally, career plateau is found to negatively impact organizational fairness. Second, an increase in organizational fairness among local government officials corresponds to higher levels of organizational commitment. Moreover, a positive correlation exists between organizational fairness and public service values. Third, there was no significant moderating effect of positive psychological capital between career plateau and organizational commitment among officials. Fourth, the mediating effect of organizational fairness between career plateau and organizational commitment was found to be significant. However, the dual mediation effect of organizational fairness, public service values, and the relationship between career plateau and organizational commitment was not statistically significant. This study provides valuable insights into the dynamics of career plateau, organizational commitment, and the influential role of psychological capital and organizational factors likes organizational fairness and public service values among municipal and basic local government officials.
