1.The perspective on the perception of the human capital component among students in both programs was at a high leve1. The highest perception component was inner-value capital, followed by scholastic capital, social capital, and culture capital.

The overall perception of promotion among students in both programs was at a medium level, and the perspective on the perception of career development among the students in both programs was also at a high leve1.

3.The different personal data of the master degree students affected their different perceptions of the human capital component significantly which is the students' courses (t = -3.372, p = 0.001). Moreover, the different personal data of the master degree students that identically affected the perception of the human capital component were age (MBA; F =0.988, p =0.427 and MPPM; F = 0.327, P = 0.896) and the period of work experience (MBA; F = 1.475, P = 0.201 and MPPM; F =0.944, P = 0.475).

4.The human capital components that co-influenced the action of MBA students were inner-value capital (Inn) and scholastic capital (Sch) at R2 = 55.1 percent. Moreover, the human capital component that co-influenced the action of MPPM students were scholastic capital (Sch), inner-value capital (Inn), and social capital (Soc) at R2 = 52.0 percent.

5. The human capital components that co-influenced the promotion of MBA students were culture capital (Cul) and inner-value capital (Inn) at R2 = 40.9 percent. In addition, the human capital components that co-influenced the promotion of MPPM students were culture capital (Cul) and inner-value capital (Inn) at R2 = 24.4 percent.

6.The human capital components that co-influenced the career development of MBA students were inner-value capital (Inn) and culture capital (Cul) at R2 =39.4 percent. Furthermore, the human capital components that co-influenced the career development MPPM students were social capital (Soc) and inner-value capital (Inn) at R2 = 42.1 percent.

7.The different courses of master degree students affected their perception of performance results (t = -3.283, p = .001) and career development (t = 1.967, p = .050) significantly. In addition, the different master degree courses affected identically the perception of promotion (t = -1.380, p = 0.168).
