Abstrakty

Researchers uncovered number of factors that affect young students in finding their preferred career, and that lead to career indecision. This study thus drives into two directions: first to identify the major barriers that stimulate difficulty for students to explore right career, and second to ascertain what occupational barriers lead to career indecision. The sample of this research involved final-year BBA (Bachelor of Business Administration) students studying at ten different universities in Bangladesh. A survey was steered using self-reported questionnaire consisting of two standardized measures to gather research data. Surveyed data were reviewed first to ensure usability and then analysed following a number of distinct statistical techniques including descriptive, Pearson correlation and regression analysis. All the statistical analyses were performed in SPSS software version 20.00. Results reveal that political and social reference, national shortage of good job, lack of parental interest, lack of career counseling and lack of personal ability significantly affect students’ career, that in consequence lead to career indecision. The present research suggests that various policy-makers, management and university may support students by ensuring merit-based recruitment, generating prospects through new ventures, organising career programs and developing their aptitudes.

Naukowcy odkryli wiele czynników, które wpływają na młodych studentów podczas poszukiwania preferowanej kariery, a które prowadzą do niezdecydowania co do kariery. Badanie to prowadzi w dwóch kierunkach: po pierwsze, aby zidentyfikować główne przeszkody, które stymulują trudności dla uczniów co do odkrywania właściwej kariery, a po drugie, aby ustalić, jakie bariery zawodowe prowadzą do niezdecydowania co do kariery. Próbka badania obejmowała ostatni rok licencjatu z zarządzania, studentów studiujących na dziesięciu różnych uniwersytetach w Bangladeszu. Badanie polegało na samodzielnym wypełnianiu kwestionariusza przez respondentów, składającego się z dwóch standardowych środków do zbierania danych badawczych. Badane dane zostały zweryfikowane najpierw aby zapewnić użyteczność, a następnie przeanalizowano je przy wykorzystaniu różnych technik statystycznych, uwzględniając opisową korelację Pearsona oraz analizę regresji. Wszystkie analizy statystyczne przeprowadzono w wersji oprogramowania SPSS 20.00. Wyniki pokazują, że odniesienia polityczne i społeczne, brak dobrej pracy w kraju, brak zainteresowania rodzicielskiego, brak doradztwa zawodowego i brak osobistej zdolności znacząco wpływają na kariery studentów, które w konsekwencji prowadzą do niezdecydowania co do kariery. Przeprowadzone badania sugerują, że różni decydenci, zarządzanie i uczelnia mogą wspierać uczniów poprzez zapewnienie rekrutacji opartej na osiągnięciach, generując perspektywy poprzez nowe przedsięwzięcia, organizowanie programów kariery i rozwijanie swoich uzdolnień.
