Specifically, it determined the following: 1. the profile of the BSBA graduate-respondents in UNP-Candon Campus along: age, sex, civil status, awards received, civil eligibility, agency affliation, job search period, nature of the job, employment status, position held, and training/seminars attended; 2 the status of the BSBA program in UNP-Candon Campus as percieved by the BSBA graduates along; relevance of the curriculum content, effectiveness of teaching strategies, effectiveness of faculty competencies, effectiveness of instructional facility. 3. the level of career motivation in terms of the following: job security, working conditions, job itself, relation with peers and superiors, recognition, and aspirations; 4. the relationship between career motivation and profile of the BSBA graduates, and status of the BSBA program; and 5. the predictors of career motivation of BSBA graduates. The findings presented in this study were based on the data gathered from the questionnaire administered to the employed BSBA graduates from school year 1997-1998.1998-1999,1999-2000,2000-2001 and 2001-2002. The descriptive-correlation method of research was utilized with the questionnaire as the main data gathering tool. The frequency count, percentage, mean, Pearson product moment of correlation and stepwise regression analysis were used to treat the data. Based on the findings, the following conclusions were drawn. 1. Fresh BSBA graduates of UNP-Candon have better chances for employment since they are still young and employers considers their flexibility and mobility which attributed to younger age as factors for employment; women graduates gain wider participation in the labor force as indicated in the findings, hence it can be concluded that business administration as a career have gained acceptance for women; chances for employment are greater for unmarried graduates since they are not hampered by familial obligations; awards received during schooling are factor for employment since these merit excellence and knowledge of job being applied for. This predictor also imply that there is a greater chances for employment or even promotion if a prospective employee underwent seminars and trainings. Most of the BSBA graduates are working in private firms since entry to government service require civil service eligibility and most respondents do not have such eligibility; enthusiasm in looking for a job is greater for fresh graduates which associated with idealism; since market for employment are in commercial establishments, graduates are left with no choice but to take jobs as sales ladies, representatives, cashiers, and other related jobs; and; trainings and seminars are factors for employment since these indicators know-how of the prospective employee. 2. The curriculum content (major subjects) of the BSBA Program is very relevant making graduates qualified for sales/ marketing positions, however their qualifications do not match with the manpower needs in the different establishment/firm in the locality. The teaching styles of faculty maximizes students’ participation and mastery of the subject matter was noted even with the varied observations on effectiveness and adequacy of different instructional facilities and equipment The graduates responses were very satisfactory in undertaking research innovative activities; they used the university facilities like gym, vehicles, chairs; and the provision of school canteen, school supplies store, etc. while there is emphasis on managing or conducting extension or community outreach activities. 3. The high career motivation of the BSBA graduates are indicated with their relation with superiors and peers, job security, working conditions, job itself, recognition and aspirations. These manifestations are viewed on the salaries and fringe benefits employees received as a= result of good performance. They could effectively and efficiently work to achieved the company’s goals and objectives because of good working conditions. The job itself is very fulfilling because it allows them for professional growth. Their relationship with their peers and superiors yields respect since there exist an honest feeling of expression and communication. Rewards system is in itself a motivation since ego boosting is met for the high performance an employee gives to the company/ establishment. Moreover, a security of tenure is viewed as one of the best reward one get since other benefits go with it. 4. There is a significant relationship between career motivation and profile of the BSBA graduates. These manifestation shows that sex has something to do with career motivation in terms of job itself, with better female career motivation measured by job itself, the fewer males are motivated; civil status is related to career motivation in terms of working conditions and job itself which implies that married graduates have better career motivation by working conditions because they work harder in order to gain promotion and salary increase to support their family’s needs; awards received significantly related to all indicators of career motivation, this is so since awards used as motivation to employees for better job performance; civil service eligibility is related along working conditions, it further explained that when the graduates possess civil service eligibility they have more chances to be employed in public firm and might enjoy permanent status; agency affiliation is related with relationship with superiors and peers and recognition; nature of job is related along relationship with superiors and peers this implies that those graduates working in difficult jobs or under close supervision by superiors and peers have developed better relation with superiors and peers; employment status is related along aspirations, this indicates that once a graduate is employed and gain permanent status there are more desire for growth and development; training and seminars attended is positively related to all career motivators which implies that the more they attended seminars, the more they are motivated in their career. There is also a significant relationship between career motivation and status of the BSBA program along curriculum content general education and major subjects), faculty strategies and competencies, effectiveness and adequacy of instructional facilities and materials. This manifested from the result of the study that faculty teaching styles which supplemented with instructional equipment and materials can result to a better career motivation of the students; research, extension and production has significant relationship to all career motivators except in relationship with peers and aspiration, this implies that when these activities of the program is high there is also an excellent career motivation of the BSBA students. 5. The training/seminars participated in by the BSBA graduates is the best predictors of the career motivation. This is so since prospective employers look into the experiences of applicants and such is manifested in training and seminars they have attended. Based on the findings and conclusions, the following areas of concerns are recommended. 1. Based on the findings, the UNP-Candon Campus should maintain a linkage with various establishment s in the city and nearby municipalities for employment of their BSBA graduates. Likewise, undergraduates should be encouraged to attend seminars and training since this is a predictor for better employability after graduation. Awards should likewise be given; institutional or otherwise since it is a factor that adds additional merit for employment purposes. 2. The BSB A curriculum though relevant at present should not stop from undergoing revision to suit relevance of time and practice. Instructional materials should be given attention since these are contributory to better learning experiences by the students. 3. There is a need to evaluate the program to fully identify the strength and weaknesses in order to match the manpower needs of the firm in the locality. The school through the Guidance Office should continuously keep in touch with their graduates to determine other motivational factors that affect employment, employability and working relations. 4. The BSBA Program have been offered for more than ten years, an accreditation shall be encouraged in order to improve further the curriculum. 5. The institution shall conduct or sponsor varied curricular and extracurricular scholastic activities to expose students’ talents and skills. For instance, the participation of students in training/seminars wherein an advance growth and development for students will be enhanced their exposure to such will equip further the skills they have learned in the classroom. Added to that, there are greater chances for immediate employment or promotion if they are already in the field. 6. Further studies should be conducted along the nature of career motivation to consider other aspects which were not the subjects undertake. | |
