Using survey and secondary data from Korean local public institutions, we tested the effects of top managers’ characteristics on the quality of public service (QoPS) provided by local public institutions through top managers’ internal and external management practices, based on the upper echelon theory. We found that the greater the top managers’ expertise, the higher the QoPS. Furthermore, we found that top managers’ internal management practices that involve communicating with employees to improve their well-being, resolve their complaints, motivate them, and increase their self-development all mediated the positive relationship between top managers and QoPS.
