Antecedents of emergency services’ Street Level Bureaucrats’ (SLBs) delivery of public value: an exploratory study
研究了澳大利亚警察、消防、急救等一线工作人员的心理社会安全氛围和公共服务动机如何影响其自由裁量权、工作压力、幸福感及公共价值提供，发现心理社会安全氛围作用更大。
Street Level Organisations (SLOs) determine the Psychosocial Safety Climate (PSC) in their workplaces and we examine pathways from SLBs’ PSC and Public Service Motivation (PSM) to discretionary power, work stress, wellbeing and the subsequent delivery of public value. The structural equation modelling results from 195 Australian police, fire, ambulance, and emergency services workers indicate that PSC had a more significant role in explaining SLBs’ delivery of public value compared with PSM. The implication is that SLOs’ management must ensure psychosocially safe and supportive workplaces conducive to building SLBs’ wellbeing, because that is the pathway for delivering public value.
