This study aims to investigate the effects of public service values and public service motivation on job satisfaction and organizational commitment of public officials. Based on job demand-resources theory, this research considers public service values as job demand and public service motivation as job resources for public officials. Analytical results show that both public service values and public service motivation have positive impacts on job satisfaction and organizational commitment. The result of public service motivation is consistent with theoretical proposition of job demand-resources theory while public service values would indicate a different story. The analytical results offer critical theoretical and practical implications that public agencies should develop strategies to enhance the levels of perception on public service values and public service motivation among public officials.
