“…en Administración de Empresas. Asimismo, mostraría coincidencia con una preferencia laboral vinculada a trabajos que brinden estabilidad con proyección de crecimiento, rasgo comúnmente destacado en el estudio de las predilecciones de los estudiantes de negocios (Bundy & Norris, 1992;Demel et al, 2019;Iacovou et al, 2011;Lim & Soon, 2006).…”

El objetivo del estudio es analizar las preferencias laborales e Intención Emprendedora (IE), de estudiantes de negocios de Chile, mediante la aplicación de un modelo de elección discreta, basado en cuatro rasgos característicos del emprendedor: autonomía, innovación, poder y altruismo. Los hallazgos, derivados de una encuesta aplicada a 85 estudiantes universitarios, revelan que el estudiantado prefiere ser dueño de una empresa lucrativa, innovadora y que genera altos ingresos. Se develó que en las predilecciones laborales de educandos con alta IE, prevalece el trinomio autonomía, poder e innovación, mientras que en educandos con baja IE predomina el binomio poder y autonomía. El altruismo, por su parte, resultó el atributo decisional menos relevante. Se concluye que las preferencias laborales se vinculan con el nivel de IE del alumnado. Rasgos como: la autonomía, el poder y la vocación innovadora, constituyen factores subyacentes a la propensión ocupacional. Esta información es relevante para las carreras universitarias que enseñan emprendimiento y que deseen diseñar ofertas programáticas efectivas, que consideren las preferencias laborales del alumnado.

“…Other studies in support of this position include Harun (2020), who insists that the starting salary is the main criterion that influences the career choice of students. Demel et al, (2019) also posit that the initial salary is a significant predicator of career interests in the accounting profession by accounting students. Nonetheless, studies such as Cottrel (2011) argues that the initial salary, although considered a significant criterion in career decisions of accounting graduates, but with time, other factors tend to override this importance.…”

This study examines the determinants of accounting students’ career intentions. The study adopted survey questionnaires developed on a 5-point Likert’s scale to collect primary data from 231 final year university students pursuing accounting across Ghana using purposive sampling technique. The study employed the use of PLS-SEM to conduct Regression Analysis. The outcome of the study reveals that the relationship between the future plan and career intentions of accounting students is significantly positive, and a positive perception on the accounting profession influences the accounting student to pursue a career in accounting. Thus, future plans and students’ perception on professional examinations influence the career intentions of the accounting students in Ghana. The study recommends that future studies should explore the effects of other important variables including race, culture, religion, marital status, etc. on the career intentions of accounting students.

“…The choice of outcomes was based on the stated purpose of quality traineeships increasing the employment prospects of young people and focussed on the probability of being hired in the months following the experience. A qualitative perspective was introduced to strengthen the meaning of successful career: reducing unemployment spells is a success, but finding a quality job and being persistently employed constitute better results (Demel et al , 2019 found that job continuity is the most important job attribute for university students across Europe).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to provide an evaluation of traineeships as an active labour policy for young people in Italy. The role of traineeships as a formative experience for improving youth employment is stated by law and the specific evaluation of the regional Quality Traineeships Programme allowed for a more in-depth analysis of the role quality criteria plays in traineeship implementation.Design/methodology/approachSuch evaluation relies on administrative data, while a counterfactual approach was used to compare trainees to unemployed young people registered with Public Employment Services. The impact of traineeships on youth careers was measured in terms of employment probability, but innovatively, the actual placement was measured in terms of both hiring and along a “quality” metric with respect to entry in the labour market. It is reasonable to assume that young people are interested in traineeships as an investment towards a more satisfying career (not just as a gateway to recruitment). At last, the authors introduce a persistency analysis of the effects on youth employment rates.FindingsThe results show that traineeships hinder rapid transition to work, but they are effective stepping-stones for young people seeking a quality career. A benefit of 7 percentage points was estimated on the probability of finding a quality job after completing the traineeship and a long-lasting effect on trainees’ employment rate is demonstrated by the persistency analysis. These benefits are strengthened for participants in the Quality Traineeships Programme, confirming the relevance of desirable learning and contractual conditions in supporting the effectiveness of internships in Italy.Originality/valueAs far as the authors know, this paper is the first study that specifically refers to traineeships as an active policy in Italy and the questions resulting from the research suggest new trends in the debate over the role of policies for supporting youth employment. The administrative archives used in the analysis and the persistence effects on youth employment rates are further innovations to the empirical literature on the effectiveness of Italy’s training programmes.
