| dc.description.abstract | Career choice is invariably one of the most significant decisions a young
person must make because it is a solid foundation for them to own a smooth career path
and high-quality life. To understand the decisive factors affecting the graduates' first choice career, this thesis focuses on final-year students in business schools in Vietnam,
since after graduation, they will have to deal with this challenging choice. Additionally,
the research aims to evaluate the graduates' perception of employment in Domestic
Enterprises (DMEs) and Multi-national Corporations (MNCs) to help promote DMEs'
growth because MNCs ordinarily receive more preference. The quantitative method was
applied, and an online questionnaire with 298 responses was collected. The respondents
came from 39 different schools in various locations within Vietnam. The study used
Statistical Package Software for Social Science (SPSS) Version 22.0 to analyze the
collected data. The survey conducted reliability analysis, descriptive statistics,
importance-performance analysis, and Pearson correlation analysis. As a result of
descriptive statistics, working environment, career development, and pay are three factors
that are incredibly important to the graduates. Furthermore, after running the IPA
technique and Pearson correlation analysis, it is indicated that graduates perceived MNCs
with better performance, and there is a positive correlation between importance and
performance dimensions. However, DMEs' performance scores were not too low, thus
suggesting that DMEs employers need to communicate more with graduates for both
parties' advantages | en_US |
