Factors affecting Occupational Congruence and Career Choice

Abstract

Occupation among the Muslim community of Mysore is of very high importance. Social, economic, religious, ethical, and cultural as well as communication development are factors that influence occupational opportunities as well as the priorities of the Muslims in the current paper. More self-employed occupational opportunities among the Muslim community of Mysore City have emerged after social media and up-to-date technology had taken over the community.Lack of having an interest in applying for governmental section jobs has resulted in a decreased level of obtaining educational degrees; therefore, they mostly become self-employed. The occupations in private and self-employment sectors are more diverse than in governmental sectors therefore, are more preferred by the Muslim community in Mysore city. Muslim women in Mysore city have less occupational opportunities due to religious restrictions and family impulsion. These are the statements that the current paper will shed light upon.
