Vocación de servicio y desempeño laboral de los servidores públicos de un gobierno regional del Perú

The objective of this article was to determine the relationship between service vocation and job performance of public servants in the Regional Government of Huancavelica (Peru) - 2022. It was based on a quantitative approach, applied research, correlational level, and a non-experimental cross-sectional design. The sample size consisted of 150 public servants, and data were collected using a survey as the instrument, which was validated through expert judgment. Descriptive results indicate that 22.7% of public servants have a low service vocation, 56.7% have a moderate vocation, and 20.6% have a high vocation. Inference results indicate that, according to Spearman's Rho test, the correlation coefficient between the study variables is Rho=0.812, with a significance level of 0.000<0.05 and a significant correlation at the 0.01 level (two-tailed). It was concluded that there is evidence to assert that only a few public servants in that institution have a high level of service vocation, and moreover, a higher practice of service vocation is associated with greater job performance of public servants in the Regional Government of Huancavelica.
