Preference českých a finských studentů ekonomických oborů při vstupu na pracovní trh

The aim of this thesis is to identify differences in career preferences among Czech and Finnish economic students, particularly explaining them within the cultural and socio-economic contexts of these two countries. To achieve this goal, a literature review was conducted in the theoretical part, and selected Hofstede's indices were calculated and hypotheses regarding students' career preferences were statistically tested in the practical part of the thesis. It was observed that Czech students in economic fields prioritize financial remuneration and seek positions with prestigious employers more than Finnish students. Conversely, Finnish students show a preference for employment with environmentally responsible employers and seek positions that offer opportunities for mental health support to a greater extent than Czech students. No discernible differences in preferences were identified between the groups in areas such as work–life balance, job security, career growth, and working environment.
