AB - This paper aims to examine whether firefighters’ public service motivation(PSM) affects their job satisfaction(JS), as well as whether the PSM-JS link is mediated by two types of value congruence(VC). Given that today’s Korean firefighters fall under the dual command structures of national and local governments, it should be noted that an individual firefighter can have differential VC for respective governments. Using the “Safety, Health, and Welfare of Firefighters” data collected in 2014, we estimate a parallel two mediator model with multiple individual and organizational variables being controlled. Results from a series of SEM approaches indicate that PSM has a direct effect on JS, as well as that only one type of VC plays a mediating role in the PSM-JS relation. Specifically, employee-national government VC mediates the impact of PSM on JS, but employee-local government VC fails to reach statistical significance. Stemming from these findings, several policy implications are highlighted.
