| dc.description.abstract | Aim: The globalized world has been facing rapid changes relating to
economics with labor force as an important key leading to success. Pursuing an
international career allows employees to take a deep dive into the diverse market and
set a steady career path. In light of this trend, it is crucial to leverage the surrounding
conditions for Vietnamese students to cultivate their interest in the international
working environment, thereby allowing them to explore themselves with challenges to
adapt and opportunities to grow up, preventing unemployment after graduation. As a
result, the purpose of this research is to determine the factors influencing the interest in
international working environment of undergraduate business students in Ho Chi Minh
City.
Design: A quantitative research approach will be applied to a valid sample
size of 276 participants that are Ho Chi Minh City-based business students to assess
and validate the study's hypothesis. Data collection method is an online survey which
delivers questionnaires directly to individuals via Google Forms and will be posted on
community groups and personal networks.
Findings: While it is anticipated that interest in an international working
environment would be influenced by adjustment to the international study as well as
exposure and immersion, the study found out that there are only constructive
relationships between the interest and individual factors like self-efficacy, family
pressure and motivation for liberty/pleasure while the motivation for liberty/pleasure
seems to have a reverse effect on the interest. | en_US |
