A Comparative Examination of Developments in the Modern Civil Service in South Korea and the Philippines and Their Divergence After the Post-War Era
Using a comparative historical-institutional approach, this study traces how American administrative influences shape the development of the civil service in South Korea and the Philippines since the post-war reconstruction period of the late 1950s. It examines how each civil service evolved in response to political developments and the subsequent civil service reform trends. While South Korea developed a professionalized, meritocratic, and effic…
Challenges to Democratization from the Perspective of Political Inaction: Insights into Political Disempowerment and Citizenship in the Philippines
Though scholarship on Philippine politics has focused on either structures or elites, political participation and inaction have become equally pertinent issues, especially in times of political change. The Philippines shows a curious juxtaposition between high levels of electoral participation in the general citizenry and mass political inaction among the majority of Filipinos outside the ballot. For this reason, we would try to make sense of thi…
The Roles of Strategic Human Resource Management and Person–Environment Fit On Nonprofit Public Service Motivation
This study examines the relationship between public service motivation (i.e., intrinsically and voluntarily driven attitudes and dispositions), strategic human resource management, and person–environment fit in Korean nonprofit organizations in order to determine the ways by which both the motivation of employees and the performance of these organizations can be enhanced. This was done using data from a survey on Korean nonprofit organizations em…
The Strategic Performance Management System in Selected Philippine National Government Agencies: Assessment and Policy Recommendations
This study assessed the Strategic Performance Management System (SPMS) based on a systematic review and synthesis of its implementation in selected Philippine national government agencies, specifically the Department of Interior and Local Government, the Department of Education, and the Commission on Higher Education. It provides an overview, discusses the cultural and administrative context, summarizes previous assessments done from 2013 to 2017…
Hypergamy and Cross Border Marriages in South Korea: An Examination of Factors Influencing Flows of Migrant Brides and Grooms from Developing Countries
This study investigates whether cross-border marriages in South Korea follow the logic of hypergamy. It examines whether the factors that affect the number of brides from developing countries also hold true for grooms using a panel regression analysis based on a modified gravity model and macro-national data from 1999-2012. Results show the model accounting for 54% of the variation in the number of foreign brides and 42% of the variation in the n…
A Survey of Political Interference Patterns and Modalities in National Roadworks in the Philippines
This study surveys and describes the patterns or modalities of political interference in national roadworks in the Philippines based on an examination of the literature and interviews using process-level frameworks, specifically the project management cycle and the budget cycle framework. Political interference here refers to non-legitimate interventions by politicians in government processes and programs. We argue that it is a form of political …
Immigration Policies and the Factors of Migration from Developing Countries to South Korea: An Empirical Analysis
This study examines the impacts of immigration policies adopted by the Korean government, vis‐a‐vis other economic, social, demographic, and political factors, on labour migration from developing countries to South Korea using a modified gravity model. The model is extended to marriage‐related migrants to gain insights on marriage migration. The positive results in three out of the five immigration policies examined affirm that liberal policies a…
Marriage Immigration and Multicultural Families: Public Policies and Their Implications for the Philippines and South Korea
This article surveys marriage immigration from the Philippines to South Korea, the public policies of both governments, and ongoing developments, challenges, and their implications for future policy. Policies in both countries provide the context in which international marriages occur and impact the sociocultural, political, economic life of marriage immigrants and their “multicultural families.” Philippine policies are still generally limited to…
