Abstract

Although various positive effects of career calling have been found, few studies link career calling with civil servants’ learning behavior. In order to address this problem and find out the way to promote the self-regulated and continuous learning of the civil service team, from the individual level, we developed a model theorizing that career calling helps civil servants’ keep learning behavior with career commitment as a mediator. According to the SPSS analysis of 367 civil servants’ questionnaire data, it is found that career calling of civil servants has a significant positive effect on their self-regulated learning and continuous learning behavior, and career commitment plays a significant partial mediating role in it. In all, this study not only addresses the effects of career calling on learning behavior from the perspective of career commitment, but also demonstrates the importance of career calling and career commitment in the field of public management. Therefore, the organization should strengthen the ideological construction of the civil servants, once the civil servants sense and realize the importance of their own career and the responsibility and mission in this job, they can have self-regulated and continuous learning behavior from the internal cause.
