Research on the Influence of Internal and External Conditionings on Students' Perception about Future Career

摘要

This research aims to analyse the opinions of the students from the POLITEHNICA University of Bucharest in connection with their future career. Based on a number of hypotheses outlined in the informal meetings we analysed the attitude of these young persons about professional success using two personality tests measuring significant parameters in defining it (the impact of the others/of the external pressures on the actions and personal choices, the force of subjective values, the possibility to predict one's own behaviour and the behaviour of the others, commitment etc.). The results of the respondents highlighted the need to develop/deepen competencies in the field of soft skills in order to adapt to the rigors of today's labour market, in which self-knowledge and interpersonal skills are at least as important as technical and practical knowledge.
