Abstract
This study seeks to identify the factors that contribute to capability as reported by congressional staffers in the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea. The most significant finding is that work experience in congress is more closely associated with self reported capability than is educational background or rank. The study also informs us that rank, a consequence of successful examinations and evaluations, is not meaningfully associated with self-reported capability. This study also did indicate that academic major is an important factor well associated with capability of committee staffers even though the general argument that education and training matter to capability was only weakly supported.
