| Summary: | The effects of public affairs education are a prominent research subject for scholars and an utmost
concern for government worldwide. However, there are insufficient studies conducted on the
effects of public affairs education. Existing research largely focuses on the career-related
outcomes, despite the general agreement that the value of public affairs education lies in its ability
to cultivate soft skills in students. Therefore, this study attempts to fill up the research gap to
investigate the effects of public affairs education on shaping students’ perceptions of good public
servants. Using a questionnaire jointly designed by public affairs professors in Singapore, China
and Taiwan universities, data were collected from students before and during their course of study.
Our findings primarily indicate that public affairs education, alone and when interacted with other
variables such as parents’ influence, does have an impact on students’ perceptions which paves the
way for further research to be conducted. |
