Chapter 1. Introduction
1.1 Introduction
Students approach regarding career choice, need a wide range of prior skills,
knowledge, abilities, and ambitions from secondary and further education. They arrive at
the beginning of higher education by different routes and embark on very different career
paths within higher education. A well-educated, well-trained population could reach a
nation towards rapid economic growth. Business education is tremendously expanded in
Bangladesh. Most of the public universities and private universities provide business
education based on models and materials developed in the west, particularly from the UK
and USA. In this study conducted upon the business faculty’s students of Jahangirnagar
University.
Maximum of the students are not able to take the right decision in student life.
They are confused to take their job preference. The influence of their family, friends and
social environment about their job life.
General objective. This study to explore the perception of job preference among
The present study is qualitative in nature. The population for the study consisted of BBA
students who are in Jahangirnagar universities located in Dhaka. There are 4 departments
in the Business faculty. Among these, about 1000 are running in this faculty. A Sample of
49 BBA students has been selected for data collection from 4 departments and 6 different
batches.
The closed-ended questionnaire has been distributed among the students of BBA program
of Jahangirnagar Universities. Data have been collected from BBA students, both male
and female. BBA students considered to have some clear and specific directions and
reasonable self-concepts. The sample students have been chosen following the
convenience of the sampling method. The data have been collected through an online
survey. With the cooperation of the faculties and students, the interviewers distributed the
questionnaires during the class session.
This study investigates the factors that influence JU’s Business students while selecting
their career preference. The study also investigates any actual difference among the
career preference and factors influencing for choosing the career of male and female
business students. Most of the questions were of nominal characteristics, which only
permit the calculation of number, frequency and the use of cross tables. Hence we also
adopted the simple regression with business major (Accounting, MGT, Finance,
Marketing) and career preference (teaching, banking, entrepreneur, Multinational
Companies-MNC, Non-Government Organization-NGO, Government Service-GOVT,
Small and Medium Enterprise-SME, Research Organization-RO, Non-Banking Financial
Institute-NBF, Others) to find out the significance of the study.
Research design is the concept and a structure within which the research is
conducted. It constitutes the blueprint for the collection, measurement, and analysis of
data. Research design stands for advance planning of the methods to be adopted for
collecting the relevant data, and the techniques to be used for their analysis that is
relevant to the objectives subject to the availability of staff, money and time. In fact, the
research design has a great bearing on the outcomes of any research. According
toSelltizet.al. (1962) “A research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection
and analysis of data in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose
with economy in procedure.”
This study classifies research design in three general designs such sampling
Design which deals with methods of selecting items that are to be observed,
Questionnaire Design which refers to a set of questions to collect data from the
respondents and lastly Statistical Design that concerns how the information and data
gathered are to be analyzed.
3.6 Sample Size
The information was collected from two sources of data such as primary source
and secondary sources.
Primary Sources of Data. Primary sources of data include data collection with
the help of a questionnaire and survey. Data in this study are collected through the
Questionnaire method, by filling a questionnaire. Primary Data is used to conduct
analysis and find the results.
The survey was conducted online with 15 questions. By using the Likert-type
scale, the researcher of this study assumes that the strength and intensity of experience on
a continuum from strongly agree to strongly disagree, and makes the assumption that
attitudes can be measured. Respondents were offered a choice of five pre-coded
responses with the neutral point being neither agree nor disagree.
2. Career choice
3. Sector preference
For the greater interest of creating quality manpower for the country and for the
transferability of skills and the reflective learning across the full spectrum of academic
programs of study, students can safely be encouraged to make choices on the basis of
enthusiasm and interest rather than narrowly employment-focused considerations. There
is also a need to identify the constraints and opportunities faced by business graduates
that influence their capacity to maximize their potential, in terms of both learning
opportunities and access to careers.
