Abstract

Many countries including Nepal spend a lot of resources in education. There should be a well thought out connection between education and the world of work. It is therefore very important to have an understanding of the factors that influence students' choice of particular careers. Ignorance about one's career is not bliss and planning one's career is better than leaving it to chance or fate.

Description

Career decisions can be defined as the ongoing life long process of making choices that complement our personal attributes and help us to realize our basic life values. The basic purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of personal motivational factors and social factors on the career choice of Nepalese MBA students and to examine whether gender moderates the relationship between study variables and career choice of Nepalese MBA students.
