Does politicization influence senior public officials’ work attitudes? Different forms and effects of politicization in the civil service
基于欧洲大规模高管调查数据，研究了政治干预公务员人事、政策影响力不足及政治人物干涉管理活动等不同形式的政治化如何降低高级公职人员的职业满意度和组织承诺，其中政客不尊重官僚专业知识的影响最大。
Despite a large body of literature on the effects of politicization, relatively little is known about its relationship with the work attitudes of public employees. This study investigates how different forms of politicization relate to senior executives’ job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Using data from a large-scale executive survey conducted in Europe, we found that senior public officials exhibit negative work attitudes when there is political intervention in civil service staffing, when they have little policy influence, and when political actors interfere in their managerial activities. In particular, politicians’ disrespect for bureaucratic expertise had the largest effect on work attitudes.
