There are many factors that make work more attractive. Which are the most popular among second-year students of PRUE?

The purpose of our poll was to find out which factors are the most preferable (the most important) for undergraduates. We also limited the research process by asking our respondents to select only three most valuable aspects at work out of twelve offered by the researchers.

As a result, our respondents had to opt for the following:

1) Promotion opportunities

2) Qualification trainings

3) High salary

4) Personal growth

5) Work-life balance

6) Inspirational boss

7) Good working atmosphere

8) Perks and benefits

9) Medical insurance

10) Pension scheme

11) Working for a successful company

12) Empowerment

To draw a conclusion, it should be noted that the most essential factors at work for contemporary students are high salary (40%), promotion opportunities and perks (33,3% each), and good working atmosphere (26,6%).

Such an outcome indicates that young people are more interested in their self (self-improvement and welfare) than in their future (family matters, retirement, health, etc.).

We conducted our survey on 100 undergraduates of PRUE. They were interviewed about the major factors contributing to their job satisfaction. The following striking responses were received:

1) Generous salary. This factor has been chosen by 60% of our interviewees as a major source of job satisfaction. It means that over half of all the respondents believe that it’s the most essential factor for potential employees.

Undoubtedly, many people want to get a sufficient sum of money for the duties they perform.

2) Opportunities for promotion. The number of interviewees who voted for this satisfaction component constitutes 52%. Presence of such a factor at work motivates and stimulates employees to do their best and work hard.

3) Perks and benefits. The factor was selected by 47% of the interviewees.
