Employment of foreign students after graduation in Hungary in the context of entrepreneurship and sustainability

Abstract

In recent decades, more and more international students, including paid and scholarship-funded students coming to study in Hungary, most of them are studying in higher education institutions. The experience of studying abroad has not only broadened foreign students' horizons, but also increased their entrepreneurial awareness to a certain extent, especially increased the number of foreign companies or businesses set up by foreign students to trade and cooperate with the host country. In this sense, they are moving forward to entrepreneurship. At the same time, entrepreneurial and sustainable education in universities also play a very important role in the development of international students' awareness. After graduation, some international students choose to stay and work in Hungary, while others choose to return to their home countries or work in other countries. The present study was conducted to understand whether overseas experience has sustainable influences on career development and employment choice of foreign students, testing whether their employment intentions have changed after studying in Hungary. Furthermore, whether international students' attributes have relationships with their employment intentions. In addition, it is necessary to explore the main reasons for choosing different employment intentions. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, Paired Sample T-test and Crosstabulation were used in SPSS. The overall results show that the experience of studying abroad does have a sustainable impact on the employment intention of foreign students, but due to the different attributes of foreign students, the reasons, effects and degrees of the influence are different.

Characteristics of segments according to the preference system for job selection, opportunities for effective incentives in each employee group

“…Models that emphasize the importance of contingencies also highlight the limitations of rational career decision-making (Mitchell et al, 1999). These models claim that to varying degrees (Betáková et al, 2021;Betsworth & Hansen, 1996;Hart et al, 1971;Kakar et al, 2021;Williams et al, 1998), random events have an impact on people's career choices. As a result, some models, such as the "integrated career decision model," question whether fully rational career decisions are even possible.…”
