- Abstract
Compared to Western nations, China's involvement in international organizations is still lacking due to a scarcity of international organization talent. This study examines the motivation and satisfaction levels of students aspiring to work in an international organization, utilizing the Global Engagement Program (GEP) at Zhejiang University as an exemplar. Drawing on the Uses and Gratifications (U&G) theory, this study explores the motives and satisfaction of GEP students using both qualitative and quantitative methods. The research reveals that factors such as training programs, curriculum design, and a sense of accomplishment are crucial for GEP students. Additionally, the course content, overseas exchange, and extracurricular activities were particularly well-received by students. Consequently, this article recommends granting more autonomy to students interested in pursuing careers in international organizations, enabling them to manage their work independently and enhance their satisfaction and performance in talent development programs.
