The purpose of this study was to examine the predictors of career satisfaction for public service employees in South Korea, using data drawn from 303 civil servants from one metropolitan government and two district governments. The effects of contextual (i.e., transformational leadership), personal (i.e., learning goal orientation), and intrinsic motivational (i.e., psychological empowerment) factors on career satisfaction were investigated. As the result of structural equation modeling analysis, accounting for 73% of the variance, transformational leadership, learning goal orientation, and psychological empowerment positively and significantly influenced career satisfaction. Based on the four Bootstrap analyses, we found learning goal orientation and psychological empowerment to be the significant mediators. This study integrated leadership, personal characteristics, motivation, and career research. Human resources and organization development professionals can help managers by providing relevant training programs and implementing developmental practices to encourage public service employees to be intrinsically motivated, empowered, and more satisfied with their careers.

变革型领导，学习目标取向和心理授权对职业满意度的影响

这项研究的目的是使用来自一个大都会政府和两个区政府的303名公务员的数据，研究韩国公共服务从业人员职业满意度的预测指标。研究了情境（即变革型领导），个人（即学习目标取向）和内在动机（即心理授权）因素对职业满意度的影响。作为结构方程模型分析的结果，占73％的方差，变革型领导能力，学习目标取向和心理赋权对职业满意度产生积极且显着的影响。基于对Bootstrap的四项分析，我们发现学习目标取向和心理授权是重要的中介者。这项研究整合了领导力，个人特征，动机和职业研究。人力资源和组织发展专业人员可以通过提供相关的培训计划和实施发展做法来帮助管理人员，以鼓励公共服务员工获得内在动力，增强能力并对其职业感到更满意。
