ABSTRACT

By testing the relationship between the tourism public officers' self-esteem, knowledge sharing, and attitude toward enhancing job speciality, this study examined the necessity of tourism organization development in the Korean local government. Data were collected from 486 tourism public officers of 42 Korean local governments. Results showed that the public officers' self-evaluation of their job speciality was positively related to their attitude toward educational development. In addition, the public officers' negative evaluation of their job speciality and their cognition of importance for their job task were positively associated with their attitude toward developing a new tourism professional position and recruiting tourism professional as tourism officers. Also, the public officers' self evaluation of their job specialty had positive relationship with their need for career development. Several practical and theoretical implications of this study were also suggested.
