This paper has the purpose of establishing the construct of global citizenship and analyzing the variables affecting on the level of global citizenship. The paper tried to find the construct of global citizenship by both theoretical background and empirical factor analysis, and to explain the features which can be related to the level of global citizenship. For the survey, 1,091 students were sampled from secondary schools and a university. The questionnaire used in the survey included 25 items which had the format of 5 point likert scale. The questionnaire consisted of 4 factors(``general citizenship``, ``national identity``, ``multinationalism``, ``global community concept``). The result showed that the four factors were appropriate for constructing global citizenship. Among the four factors, the level of ``global community concept`` was lowest, while the level of ``general citizenship`` was highest. In addition, it was found that the experience of learning about global civil society and the degree of understanding the meaning of global civil society were related to the level of global citizenship.
