Abstract
The question of how to recruit and educate those who work in the service of the state as
leaders and managers, to enhance dedication, relevant and state-of-the art competencies and
the right ethical habitus, is an ancient one (Rutgers, 1997). It was debated by Plato, Aristotle
and Seneca in the Greco-Roman era more than two millennia ago, was organized in the
classical Chinese mandarin system around 600 AD and was later emulated in other East
Asian countries such as Japan and Korea (Kim, 2017). The question has been a core issue in
public administration since its establishment as an academic field at the end of the 19th
century (Weber, 1968; Wilson, 1887; Wren and Bedeian, 2020)
