As results of the study were as follows. First, public servants had significant differences in concrete experience followed by sex. Namely, women had more concrete experience than men. Second, public servants had significant differences in reflective observation and abstract conceptualization followed by age. The reflective observation and abstract conceptualization were higher as their age group became higher. Third, public servants had significant differences in concrete experience and reflective observation followed by educational background. High school graduates had more concrete experience than university graduates. University graduates had higher reflective observation than high school graduates. Fourth, public servants had significant differences in concrete experience, abstract conceptualization and active experiment followed by position. Concrete experience, reflective observation and abstract conceptualization were higher as their position became higher. The results of the study have implications as below. First, in personal meaning, they imply that public servants should diagnose their learning style regularly in the side of life-long education and be suited to continuously-changed learning change positively. Second, in organizational meaning, they imply that local governments and public servants training agencies should accept them in the viewpoint of HRM and intervene into improving educational training programs according to each change of learning styles.
