This study combined ideas of "the ways of being a public official" and "career development theory" to explore how public servants pursue a successful career in Taiwan. The person-organization fit theory and career success theory are applied to discuss the relationships among concepts of public career management, career success, and the ways of being a public official. Through interviewing with 39 public servants and conducting a large-sample questionnaire survey, this mixed-method study utilizes Q methodology to identify six patterns of pursuing career success from public servants' viewpoint, including "boundary spanner," "personal branding master," "conservative expert," "management trainee," "coat-tail rider," and "steward." The frequency distribution results of the above six patterns by analyzing a total of 3,661 survey respondents also presented in this study. Based on the research findings, this study contributes to advancing our understanding of career success for public servants in Taiwan from both academic and practical perspectives. |
