ABSTRACT

This paper is to survey and analyze the cognitions and the attitudes of central governmental officers in the Ministry of Environment, the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, and the Ministry of Public Administration and Security about the governance using the structural equation model. The exogenous latent variables are related to understanding, education-learning, NGO-experiences, socialization, the open-participation culture of organization, the degree of organizational structural reformation, and the ministers' leadership in the departments. The endogenous latent variables are used for the cognition of effectiveness, the supporting extent of governance, the public servant's mind of roles and responsibility. Results of the analysis are the following: 1) the leadership, socializations, and open-participation culture, and the supporting extent are the most important and influencing variables, 2) the education-learning factor is very lack variable of influence, and 3) the effectiveness factor do not directly influence the mind of roles and responsibility, but indirectly influence it via the supporting extent factor. As a result of the analysis, the way how to improve the cognition of the central governmental officers are proposed.
