Abstract
Objective: To investigate the impact of practical course experience(PCE) on graduate students' motivation for public service(PSM), as well as the mediating role of positive psychological capital(PPC) and social emotional ability(SEA). Method: A questionnaire survey was conducted on 266 graduate students from a university in Beijing using the Delaware Social Emotional Ability Scale, Positive Psychological Capital Questionnaire, and Public Service Motivation Scale. Result: (1) After controlling for variables such as age and student cadre experience, the predictive effect of PCE on PSM was significant. (2) PCE can influence PSM through the individual mediation of PPC and the chain mediation of PPC and PCE. Conclusion: PPC and SEA play a chain mediated role between practical course experience and graduate public service motivation. This conclusion contributes to providing empirical support for promoting high-quality development of graduate education from the perspective of self-determination theory.
