Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of secondary school education on public service motivation (PSM) and discuss the change directions of secondary education in Korea. This study investigates the effects of school education satisfaction, school violence, teacher-student relationship, and teacher’s enthusiasm perceived by students in middle and high schools on public service motivation, using the four waves of longitudinal data (3rd~6th survey) of the Korean Education Longitudinal Study 2005 and applying structural equation model (SEM). It finds that teacher’s enthusiasm in middle schools, and school education satisfaction, teacher-student relationship, and teacher’s enthusiasm in high schools have positive and significant effects on students’ PSM but school violence in both middle and high schools is not significantly related to PSM. Discussing the findings of this study and previous studies, it suggests that, as the change directions of secondary education, collaborative learning in classes, substantial operation of creative experiential learning activities, and support for teachers to perform their roles actively are important to enhancing PSM.
