Are Competitive Public Service Exams Counter‐Productive? A Survey Experiment From Two East Asian States
Public service exams are extremely competitive in East Asia. Does a high entry bar impede people with high public service motivation (PSM) from taking the exam? If so, what kinds of people are interested in taking a difficult public service exam? We employ a randomized control trial (RCT) to manipulate perceptions of exam competitiveness, using 1804 survey responses from online advertisements targeting individuals interested in public service car…

South Korea’s fast response to coronavirus disease
The first case of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in South Korea was identified on 20 January 2020. South Korea’s blended response of quick action and technological innovations has proven effective in containing the COVID-19 outbreak and can offer lessons for other countries. This paper presents a review of the administrative and legal measures taken by the Korean government, a discussion on the lessons learned from previous epidemics and dis…
A Tribute to H. George Fredrickson
During his 50-year career, H. George Frederickson contributed on multiple fronts: to better government, to a more thoughtful and rigorous public administration field, to better scholarship, to a network of scholars, and to collaborative interaction among practitioners and scholars. He was the founding Editor of the Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory as well as the Journal of Public Administration Education. He was one of the fou…
Deliberative policy-making and its limitations
Recent criticism of representative liberal democracy has spurred democratic experiments involving citizen consultations in deliberative forums. However, more research is needed in order to understand the conditions necessary to make them work. The aim of this paper is to help mitigate this deficiency and at the same time contribute to an informed reflection over the specific conditions for deliberative democracy in Korea. The study focuses on a u…
The Burgeoning but Still Experimental Practice of Deliberative Governance in South Korean Local Policy Making
Research on deliberative governance does not include many case studies on South Korea. We analyze deliberative governance in the Seoul and Gwangju Metropolitan Governments, drawing comparisons and lessons for operating effective deliberative governance to promote consensus building, citizen empowerment, and legitimation of policy choices through collective decision making. The two cases incorporate the characteristics of deliberative governance t…
The development of modern public administration in East Asia
East Asia has one of the most successful economies in the world today, so public administration as a practice as well as a discipline has arguably played a pivotal role in such a developmental process. However, there are not many readable references on such issues. Accordingly, this article will first discuss the issue of East Asian development models, after which it will discuss the civil service entrance examinations as an East Asian model of b…
Strengthening Public Service Ethics in Government
Among the various laws in South Korea, the most important for strengthening public service ethics in the government include the following three major acts: the Public Service Ethics Act, the Anti-Corruption Act, and the Improper Solicitation and Graft Act. The main goal common to the three acts is the prevention of conflicts of interest (COI). Appropriately managing issues related to COI is the shortest route to bolstering public service ethics a…
Promoting a Policy Initiative for Nation Branding
How to raise the brand value of Korean products has been seriously considered in recent years by the government as well as commercial firms, and this question has brought a momentum to deal with policy matters on nation branding in Korea. Consequently, the Lee Myung-bak administration (2008–13) took drastic action by establishing the Presidential Council on Nation Branding (PCNB) in 2009 to deal with nation branding. This policy initiative on nat…
The Formation of Social Constructions of Female Marriage Migrants and Female Work Migrants in South Korea
Immigration issues have come to the forefront in recent years in Korea, where various groups of immigrants have seemingly been viewed in different ways. This study examines the social constructions of two types of female immigrants; marriage migrants and work migrants. The main focus is to compare two relatively similar groups of immigrants to ask ‘who is deserving and who is not?’, in other words, which groups of immigrants benefit from positive…
Advocacy Coalitions and Policy Change
The Saemangeum Tideland Reclamation Project (STRP), one of the most controversial environmental cases in the recent history of South Korea, is an interesting test of the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) and its ability to help us understand policy change. The STRP has gone through several revisions, but the original plan was to reclaim land from the sea in Southwestern Korea. Filling in the estuary began in 1991, but it was slowed by a series o…

Over the past several decades, Korea has achieved substantial economic growth as well as the significant development of a public administration system. How, and in what way, has Korean public administration as a discipline grown rapidly? This article reviews the multiple dimensions of Korean public administration: the development of public administration as a new d…
The Civil Service System in the Republic of Korea
Enhancing Public Accountability for Developing Countries
Many Asian countries are attempting to promote public accountability as a part of public‐sector reform, but their situation remains unsatisfactory compared to advanced countries. Except for a few, many Asian developing countries are still struggling with political and socioeconomic weaknesses. Indeed, the nature of public sector reform in many Asian developing countries differs substantially from that of advanced countries. Furthermore, the conce…
Quality as a reflection of innovation? Quality management in the Korean government
Quality management generally implies all the activities that are intended to bring about the desired level of quality. In order to improve the quality of a product or service in both private and public sectors, quality management has been exercised for a long time and broadly applied in various organizations. As many new buzz words emerge in both business and public management, however, it seems that its popularity has declined. Is quality manage…

Introduction
Fiscal autonomy of korean local governments and intergovernmental relations in the 1990s
This paper reviews Korean intergovernmental relations in the 1990s with an emphasis on fiscal relations among the different levels of the government. In the 1990s, Korea reinvigorated its system of local autonomy first established in the sixties. A major issue in the implementation of this system is the presence of vertical and horizontal disparities in local fiscal capacity. Although some efforts have been made to transfer tax sources from centr…
Management Innovation of Quasi-Governmental Agencies in Korea
Many quasi-governmental agencies operate under the umbrella of the Korean government. Their semi-official status derives from the receipt of government contributions, commissions or subsidies. There are literally hundreds of such organizations whose sole objective is to operate in support of the Korean people, yet they have a poor public image. They are often portrayed in the media as unaccountable and inefficient. They have been criticized by ci…
Current Public Sector Reform in Korea
New public management (NPM) has affected public sector reform (PSR) in many countries, although its scope and emphasis vary from country to country. Korea is not an exceptional case in the mounting managerial reform wave. Korea has partially adopted the NPM philosophy and has taken various reform initiatives for PSR. In particular, the Kim Dae Jung administration has addressed PSR as one of the four major sectors (financial, corporate, labor, pub…
Civil Service Reform in Japan and Korea
Governmental problems still exist in Japan and Korea even though the two nations have achieved substantial economic and political development in modern times. Such problems include a low ranking in world competitiveness in government and a lack of competency. Furthermore, rigid and closed systems for employment and promotion still prevail without many improvements in human resource management. Recently, both the Japanese and Korean governments ha…
Utilising 360‐degree feedback in the public sector
The 360‐degree feedback involves all aspects of a group: managers, colleagues, subordinates, and customers. Recently, the Korean Civil Service Commission (CSC) supports the use of multiple raters as an effective method of assessing performance, both for developmental and appraisal needs. The 360‐degree feedback was officially adopted for employee promotion in the Korean central government in 1998. However, there are direct costs in designing 360‐…

South Korea
Government has never been under greater stress all around the world. Fundamental change is occurring at all levels of government. The need to cope with the rapid globalisation of the economy, the so‐called borderless economy, and to maintain international competitiveness drives public management reforms.

In the case of Korea, the impetus for undertaking human resource management reforms stems from the economic crisis of the late 1990s.

Who Serves the People? Educational Backgrounds of South Korean and Japanese Bureaucrats
Numerous studies reveal that the higher civil service in many countries has been occupied by well-educated males, but the educational backgrounds of each nation's civil servants are different and vary with regard to the cultural and social norms of each country. Education is a major determinant for employment and promotion. The definition of well-educated is determined by each nation's political, social, and economic environment. This study inves…

Foreign Direct Investment and the Role of Local Government
The author analyzes one urban region's ability to attract foreign direct investment and the role its economic development officials played.

Management innovation, such as public-private partnership to promote economic development and economic development officials using th…
"Dealing with "Them
Because encounters between state and local officials and the representatives of foreign companies and governments have become daily occurrences, state and local governments are being driven to develop methods for dealing with them. According to Rose (1991), most states have entered the arena of international commerce because of their role in promoting exports and recruiting foreign investment. In addition, they are involved in a variety of exchan…
