The present study investigates the motivations and outcomes of Indonesian civil servants and prospective civil servants who received Indonesian, Australian, and Japanese government scholarships to study for graduate dual-degrees domestically in Indonesia and internationally in either Australia or Japan. A survey was administered to 162 current and former dual-degree students, followed by ten semi-structured interviews. Survey data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, two factor analyses, and a multivariate analysis of variance, while interview data were analyzed utilizing two cycles of coding. The survey and interview findings both showed that participants were highly motivated by the opportunity to study abroad and experience personal growth more so than by career benefits. Further, interview findings indicated that some participants were motivated by the prestige of an overseas education and the opportunity to enhance one’s social status. Regarding outcomes, survey and interview data showed that participants perceived development in their professional knowledge and soft skills through their dual-degree programs. Moreover, the interviews highlighted potential organizational benefits via networking and knowledge sharing as well as the impact of organizational context and career field on participants’ career advancement opportunities. Lastly, utilizing a multivariate analysis of variance, the survey findings showed that there was a relationship between study abroad location and student motivations and outcomes; participants might have been biased and perceived that studying in Australia provided greater personal and career benefits compared to studying in Japan. Together, these findings have implications for dual-degree program managers as well as Indonesian government organizations employing dual-degree graduates.

本研究调查了获得印度尼西亚，澳大利亚和日本政府奖学金的印度尼西亚公务员和准公务员的动机和结果，这些奖学金旨在在印度尼西亚国内和澳大利亚或日本的国际上攻读双学位。对162名当前和以前的双学位学生进行了调查，然后进行了十次半结构化访谈。调查数据使用描述性统计数据，两个因子分析和方差的多元分析进行了分析，而访谈数据则使用两个编码周期进行了分析。调查和访谈结果都表明，参与者受到出国留学和个人成长的机会的动力很大，而不是受职业福利的影响。进一步，访谈结果表明，一些参与者受到海外教育的声望和提高自己的社会地位的机会的激励。关于结果，调查和访谈数据表明，参与者通过双学位课程感觉到了专业知识和软技能的发展。此外，访谈还强调了通过网络和知识共享带来的潜在组织收益，以及组织环境和职业领域对参与者职业发展机会的影响。最后，利用方差的多变量分析，调查结果显示出国留学地点与学生的动机和结果之间存在联系；参与者可能有偏见，并认为与在日本学习相比，在澳大利亚学习提供了更大的个人和职业利益。这些发现加在一起对双学位项目经理以及雇用双学位毕业生的印尼政府组织都有影响。
