Owusu, Bright Amponsah

Abstract Details

2019, MS, Kent State University, College of Education, Health and Human Services / School of Foundations, Leadership and Administration.
The purpose of this study was to identify the perceptions of college student on job insecurity and how these perceptions affect their choice of jobs or career paths. The study was aimed to inquire if college students were more likely to choose jobs based on their job insecurity perceptions. Also, the study focused on gender disparities among males and females when selecting jobs or careers based on perceived insecurity. A survey was conducted on Qualtrics for students in a Northeast Ohio university who were registered for management class in Spring 2019. A total of 269 responses were used for the analysis. The results indicated that perceived job insecurity had no impact on career selections for college students. Job insecurity perceptions and gender differences also had no impact on perceptions about the hospitality industry.
