Abstract:
Objective This study aims to explore the relationships between professional identity and work performance of medical staff in district public hospitals and to test the mediating role of public service motivation,thereby providing evidence for improving work performance of medical staff.Methods From November 2024 to January 2025,a convenience sampling method was used to select 430 medical staff from four tertiary public hospitals in Bao'an District,Shenzhen.A self-designed general-in-formation questionnaire,along with standardized scales for professional identity,public-service motivation,and job performance,was administered and the resulting data were analyzed.Results Significant differences were identified in professional identity a-mong medical staff of different ages,professional titles,working years,monthly income and marital status(P＜0.05).Public service motivation varied significantly among medical staff of different ages,professional titles,positions,working years,monthly income and marital status(P＜0.05).Significant differences were also observed in work performance of medical staff of different ages,professional titles,positions,working years and marital status(P＜0.05).The three variables of professional identity,public service motivation and work performance were positively correlated between medical staff and their dimensions(r=0.387～0.771,P＜0.01).The mediation effect of public service motivation between professional identity and job performance was signifi-cant,with a mediation effect value of 0.403(95％CI:0.389 to 0.572)and an effect ratio of 72.06％.Conclusion Profession-al identity,public service motivation,and work performance among medical staff need to be improved.The work performances of medical staff of different types are affected by demographic variables.The professional identity of medical staff can affect work performance directly and indirectly through the partial intermediary role of public service motivation.
