“…Various factors such as financial remuneration ranked high on the list of decisive factors in studies by Wheeler (1983), Reha and Lu (1985), Cangelosi, Condi and Luthi (1985) and Horowitz and Riley (1990). Other factors, such as job market considerations (which encompass job satisfaction, job security, job availability, job flexibility and opportunities for advancement over the short term and long term), were found to be important in career decision studies done by Paollilo and Estes (1982), Kochanek and Norgaard (1985), Haswell and Holmes (1988) and Bundy and Norris (1992).…”

This cross-cultural study examined the career choices of Asian, black and white students at the University of Pretoria to identify the factors motivating Accountancy students to become chartered accountants (CAs), as only 2.5% (609) of 24 308 registered CAs in South Africa in 2005 were black, and only 6% (1573) were Indian. Understanding the attitudes and the perceptions of CA first-year students (identifying key career choice factors) can help course administrators/curriculum designers (the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) and the Public Accountants and Auditors' Board (PAAB)) to align marketing and recruiting strategies with specific personal occupational preferences of different racial groups enrolled for local CA courses.Factors such as decision time-frame of career choice, socio-economic background, students' perceptions of the benefits/constraints of the CA profession, and other jobrelated factors, were analysed. Students attributed their career choice to their school Accounting performance. Most chose this career in Grades 8 to 11. All three groups like the availability of employment as a CA. Constraints were the cost of qualifying (according to black students), and the difficulty of qualifying (Asian and white students).

“…Menurut penelitian Benny dan Yuskar (2006) menyebutkan bahwa rata-rata mahasiswa memilih jurusan akuntansi dilandasi oleh keingingan untuk menjadi professional di bidang akuntansi. Selain itu juga termotivasi dengan anggapan bahwa profesi akuntan dapat menjanjikan prospek yang cerah dan sangat dibutuhkan oleh perusahaan atau organisasi Indonesia di masa yang akan datang (Wheeler, 1983 (Suprianto dan Mifkhatun, 2013).…”

“…(Kopanidis et Shaw, 2014;Willis et al 2009). Based on a cost-benefit approach applied on business, education and psychology students, Wheeler (1983) concluded that the individuals' perception about the reward (benefits) -costs ratio of an occupation/profession is more a determinant of career choice than benefits or costs assessed independently. This confirms later findings that career choice, is normally influenced by objective factors as well as subjective factors which may be regrouped under the category of perceptions (Gokuladas V.K., 2010) about various professions and careers.…”

The paper aims to identify and rank the factors influencing Romanian business and administration students' career choice. The main assumptions refer to: (a) good university education is critical factors influencing career choice; (b) business and administration students' career choices are influenced by extrinsic factors; (c) students' early exposure to profession contribute to successful careers. The paper findings are based on data collected from 496 undergraduate and master programs students enrolled in business and administration university education programs at Bucharest University of Economic Studies (BUES) during 2014/2015 academic year. BUES undergraduate and graduate students were distributed a questionnaire with 17 questions. Crosstabulation, frequency analysis and descriptive statistics were used for processing data collected. The survey conducted had broader objectives; therefore, there will be presented only results obtained after processing some of the questions of the survey which considered relevant for the aim of this paper. The findings indicate that extrinsic and interpersonal factors are significantly influencing career choice of business and administration students. Results are relevant for the university management: successful integration of graduates is becoming part of the quality assurance for any university. Accurate knowledge about factors influencing students' career choice is needed to university staff so that to design and implement tools to support students to make the "right" career choice and to contribute to sustainable insertion of its graduates to the labor market. Thus, university staff has to identify perceptions and factors influencing students' career choice so that to design and implement tools to support students' career development.
