Previous studies have produced significant distinctions between public-and privatesector employees with respect to public service motivation (PSM) and PSM-related variables. Little, however, is known about whether those variables are associated with employment choice at a pre-entry level. This article will address this gap in the literature by exploring the effect of PSM on college students' sector choice in Korea. In previous research on PSM, three types of PSM measures-Perry's PSM scale, work values, and prosocial behaviors-were utilized as a PSM variable. In exploring the association between PSM and sector choice, we employed the three measures. The empirical model showed that PSM and prosocial behaviors were not associated with public-sector choice. Only job security was found to be a main reason why college students intended to enter the public sector in Korea. We will discuss the implications of our findings in this article.

This article evaluates the Journal of Public Affairs Education's (JPAE) contribution during its first twenty-five years to the study of international and comparative public affairs education by looking at the 59 articles published that examine this topic in an international context. It uses a qualitative, iterative approach to summarize their themes of the 59 articles, and to categorize and display the different comparative emphases and public affairs education topics treated in them. It presents some quantitative data on the number of articles by category and by annual publication trend. It uses the results of this analysis to assess JPAE's overall contribution in the international context of public affairs and to make suggestions for the future in this area.

“…At this point the problem of institutional isomorphism becomes critical [5]. As Park and Park acknowledge, the curricula of leading universities in South Korea were followed by other institutions and that there is possibility of normative isomorphism [16]. In a similar vein, latest developments in the field of higher education in Turkey, especially Bologna process, have created coercive and imitative institutionalization among PA departments.…”
