Overview

The 2007 Princeton University Survey on the Future of the Government Service is a survey of 7,500 federal executives across the federal government. It is the largest academic survey of federal executives ever conducted. The results from the survey will contribute to ongoing scholarly research on the public service and inform the work of the Task Force on the Changing Nature of Government Service at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University. The Task Force is being chaired by Paul Volcker and has been charged with investigating the current state of government service in order to make recommendations about how best to train the next generation of public servants.
