The concept of good governance is multi-dimensional, including various public values. Public administrators' understanding of good governance determines the future direction of a country; however, this understanding can vary significantly across different institutional settings, even within the same cultural context. Therefore, the present study investigates how future public administrators, namely students majoring in public administration, assess the importance of eleven public values related to good governance. The sample is comprised of students from China, Singapore, and Taiwan, three Confucian societies in Asia. MANCOVA and ANCOV A findings show that students from disparate societal backgrounds perceive good governance differently. We conclude that future public administration education in the three societies should lay more emphasis on low-ranked values so that students can have a balanced and well-rounded view on good governance.
