Chapter I
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Introduction
The choice of the proper course starting a career is a major problem for
secondary school students throughout the world, especially here in the Philippines.
Education is one of the necessities or the strongly-recommended attainment that
everyone should possess. It is universally recognized as the answer to socioeconomic problems of the world. Illiteracy is one of the major problems of the world
and only Education is the key to lessen it and hopefully, remove it from the line.
Individuals, Community, Society and the Nation hopes for Education to grant a
cure for poverty, ignorance, drought, mental deficiency, joblessness, unjustified
government systems, bad communication strategies, inadequate problems in basic
needs and especially illiteracy. Everyone would want to obtain a good quality of
education for an addition of ease in coping in the society, applying for job, making
some moves for the corporate world and life class or status.
Considering that Philippines is considered as a Third-world country, our
college institutions are still capable of producing graduates that are highly
competitive in global competitions, some are lucky to be an executive or got a
higher position in their own company. This implies that Philippines can be a
competitive country even poverty is always on the side of every Filipinos. In line of

P O LY T E C H N I C U N I V E R S I T Y O F T H E P H I L I P P I N E S
this, Job Vacancy and employment is still the worst fear of the graduates that are
waiting to be employed.
Job employment is a big part of our industry, specifically in the corporate
world, where Company managers dominates the market in their own ways. Large
markets like SM group of companies give benefits to some less fortunate people
who do not have a complete educational attainment which results to
unemployment. Some people spend their entire life just finding the right career to
pursue. Many dont know where to even start looking. In the Philippines alone,
there are thousands of people looking for numerous kinds of jobs, from
accountants to athletes, from dancers to dentists, from teachers to top executives.
Therefore, People tend to accept the fact that some of their dream job will be only
just a dream for them.
On the other side in the year 2015, The Philippine economy is gradually on
the rise, largely driven by its business process outsourcing, industry and
construction sectors. The average pace of growth on the Philippines in the first half
of the decade was 6.3% compared to 6% in Indonesia, 5.8% in Malaysia and
Vietnam and 3.6% in Thailand. These numbers were just evidence of how
Philippine Industry increase its growth through the years compared to other
neighboring countries especially in the South East Asia Region.
Different schools and universities serve as a major role in providing
knowledge and experience to students which will eventually serve as their guide in
their future work/job. University from which the students graduated is a big factor

P O LY T E C H N I C U N I V E R S I T Y O F T H E P H I L I P P I N E S
when applying for a job. One may also depend or base their decisions on the
Opportunity, Environment, Personality, Future Work Condition and Practice
Location. These are the reasons why the researchers conducted the study on
Career Preferences of Marketing Management Students of Polytechnic University
of the Philippines.

Background of the Study


Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) is a public, non-sectarian,
non-profit institution and one of the State University and Colleges all around the
country. PUP system as a whole has 20 satellite campuses around the country and
considered as one of the largest Universities in Asia in terms of Population of
students that is almost 70,000, approximately 50,000 of them is on PUP Main
Campus alone. It was established in the year 1904 as the Manila Business School
then later on replaced as the Polytechnic University of the Philippines by virtue of
Presidential Decree Number 1341 issued by the President of the Philippines on
April 1, 1978, being the 1st Polytechnic U in the country. PUP Main Campus, the A.
Mabini campus, named from the late hero Apolinario Mabini is located at Sta. Mesa
Manila and the largest of all campuses of PUP at almost 10 hectares.
An article from the summitexpress.com expressed that the Polytechnic
University of the Philippines (PUP) is considered as a big game-changer in the
list of top universities in terms of 'hireability' next to considered and premiered
university in the Philippines or called by some as the big four namely University of

P O LY T E C H N I C U N I V E R S I T Y O F T H E P H I L I P P I N E S
the Philippines, University of Sto. Thomas, De La Salle University and Ateneo De
Manila University. This means that PUP Graduates are one of the Companies
Choice and still has a big edge to some Universities that are not well-known or has
a less ability in producing quality students. But still, Companies say they will still
hire applicants even if they did not come from those choice universities as long as
the applicants are trainable/willing to be trained and can fulfill the requirements
needed for the job.
The College of Business Administration is one of the largest and oldest
college of Polytechnic University of the Philippines as it was named as Manila
Business School. To be more competitive and productive individuals is the main
objective of the College.
The researchers conducted the research in PUP-CBA Department of
Marketing Management because it is easier for them to find respondents. It is
more accessible to communicate to the respondents because they belong in the
same college and department.

Theoretical Framework
John Henry Holland (1985) an American Psychologist, postulated the
Hexagon Career theory Vocational interest is an expression of ones
personality, and that vocational interests could be conceptualized into six
typologies, which are Realistic (R), Investigative (I), Artistic (A), Social (S),
Enterprising (E), and Conventional (C). If a persons degree of resemblance to

P O LY T E C H N I C U N I V E R S I T Y O F T H E P H I L I P P I N E S
the six vocational personality and interest types could be assessed, then it is
possible to generate a three-letter code (e.g., SIA, RIA) to denote and summarize
ones career interest. The first letter of the code is a persons primary interest
type, which would likely play a major role in career choice and satisfaction. The
second and third letters are secondary interest themes, and they would likely
play a lesser but still significant role in the career choice process. Parallel to the
classification of vocational interest types, He postulated that vocational
environments could be arranged into similar typologies. In the career choice and
development process, people search for environments that would allow them to
exercise their skills and abilities, and to express their attitudes and values. In any
given vocational environment, there is a tendency to shape its composition so
that its characteristics are like the dominant persons in there, and those who are
dissimilar to the dominant types are likely to feel unfulfilled and dissatisfied. The
concept of congruence is used by Holland to denote the status of personenvironment interaction. A high degree of match between a persons personality
and interest types and the dominant work environmental types (that is, high
degree of congruence) is likely to result in vocational satisfaction and stability,
and a low degree of match (that is, low congruence) is likely to result in
vocational dissatisfaction and instability.

Chapter II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
This chapter deals with a review of related literature and studies, which
were of great help to the researchers in carrying out this study entitled,
Factors affecting career preferences of the Polytechnic University of the
Philippines, Marketing Management Students.

Foreign Literature
Georgia Career Info. Center (2013) postulated specified that career decisions
is a lifelong process. It is all about exploring and experiencing the world of
work. It is also about understanding abilities, interests, skills and values and
combining these to create a meaningful framework for life. Your student will
have many opportunities to discover and rediscover career than match a
changing lifestyle. It is important that you are an active participant in this
decision-making process. Career decision making process begins with an
awareness of the world around you and the ability to understand what is really
important. Here are some points to help you begin: (a.) Learn about your
interests, abilities, skills and values (b.) Observe individual workplace (c.) Talk
with family and friends about their work experiences (d.) Collect information
about specific careers and companies (e.) Consider your personal short-term
and long-term goals
Career New Zealand group (2014) stated that making decisions about
your career doesn't always have to be complicated. If you have spent time

10

P O LY T E C H N I C U N I V E R S I T Y O F T H E P H I L I P P I N E S
getting to know yourself and researching different opportunities, you should
be able to make sound decisions. Your individual situation has a bog impact
on the opportunities that you can take up. So start by taking stock all the
aspects in your life that affect your decisions. Compare your options. How
well does this options fit with my skills? Will this option help develop my
skills? You must also ask for help and advices from other people. People you
can talk to is your family, friends, a school career adviser or a career
consultant and a course adviser on University and College.
Janis (2010) quantified that choosing a career path, making a career
decision or deciding on a college major is all critical decisions. They demand
a high-quality decision making. A scientific study shows that there are four
essential tips you will want to follow. First, A, stands for Alternatives. When
making an important decision, look for all your choices. Ask yourself if there
are more alternatives given. Second, C, stands for Consequences. Once you
have narrowed down your choices, to those that look best, weigh the pros
and cons of it. Third, I, stands for Information. Search for new information
about each option you are considering. Lastly, P, stands for Plans. Make
detailed plan for (a) how will you carry out your decisions, and (b) what will
you do if one of the negative consequences that you thought of under "C"
occurs.
Mindtools Editorial team (2014) stated that to make the right choice,
you have to decide what factors are the most important to you in a new job,

11

P O LY T E C H N I C U N I V E R S I T Y O F T H E P H I L I P P I N E S
and then you have to choose the option that best addresses these factors.
However, this operates in two levels, on a rational level and on an emotional
level. You'll only truly be happy with your decision if you are aligned. First, we
look at the things rationally, looking at the job offer and also at the things that
matter to you. Then, once you have understand your options on a rational
level, we look at the things on an emotional level and think about what your
emotions are telling you.
According to Beggs et.al (2008) Many students choose their major
based on their academic ability. However, some students do not have ability
or the work habit to succeed in some majors that may require more study
than the other fields of studies. These students may find a better fit in a less
work intensive major than requires fewer difficulty classes. This affects the
career path of these students. Other students have the ability to handle
majors with greater workloads and choose career path that will lead a job
requiring more education. Examples in this category include veterinarians,
doctors or lawyers. For job such as these, students needs more than one
degree. On the other hand, some students have the drive to put in the work in
very labor intensive fields but do not have the intelligence to perform tasks
that are needed for their chosen fields.
According to Taylor (2016) some students grow up knowing what they
want to do in life. These are the students who will go extra mile to reach their
dream job. However, students often settle on a different path due to many

12

P O LY T E C H N I C U N I V E R S I T Y O F T H E P H I L I P P I N E S
factors they can't control. Students will research their chosen career path and
explore everything about it. The salary and benefits of that job do not play a
role in this decision. In a research study the factor "match with interest" rated
over job characteristics, major attributes and physiological and social benefits
in importance when students choose a major.
Zody (2006) indicated that students whose parents own and operates
a small business may want or feel obligated to follow their parents' footstep.
Students may consider the ease of life that is available to them because a job
would be able to them right out of school, they could hold a high position
within the business and there is a possibility that they may own and operate
the business one day. However, children of the family business owners often
have more experience with how the business would operate. These students
have worked in the family business their whole life, experiencing all of what
their parents went through in the day of the operation of the students. This
can have a positive or negative effect on the student.
According to Wildman (2002) Family and friends are considered to be
an influential part of the student's part of major. Parents with an agriculture
background most often have an impact where students go to college. Family
role models have more of an influence of the students major in. There are
also many people who can influence their career decisions. Most time,
parents and friends play a large role, but coaches and teachers can also have
a huge impact on student's life. Teachers and coaches can help students do

13

P O LY T E C H N I C U N I V E R S I T Y O F T H E P H I L I P P I N E S
better in school, to get into college or to get on a better path. The impact that
these adults have on young students can have a major influence on their
career path.
Mihyeon (2009) suggested that personality is another important factor
in career choice. Studies have shown that students will choose a major that
they think will fit their personality type. The confidence that a student has can
determine how far a student will go in their education. Students who believe in
themselves have more confidence, and are more likely to go to for what they
want instead of setting for something that is comfortable. Students who have
more investigated personality are more likely to go for scientific field. Students
with an artistic personality are more likely to major in arts.
HACCC Group (2013) added that recruiting is another factor that plays
role in a student's decision making process. Students can be recruited by
different schools because of their academic performance. Schools and
corporations both use recruiting as a way to draw in more students or
potential employees. Students are recruited by companies to bring in new
ideas and more talent to help companies grow. Recruits from companies will
show the benefits of working in the corporation to try and sway the student's
decision. Recruiters use video, brochures, coffee mugs and many other
things to promote their company.

Career fairs are face-to-face meeting

between job seekers and employees and a great way for students to see
what companies have offer.

Local Literature
According to De Vera (2015) the recent shifts in the educational
system and in the academic calendar, Filipino graduates are forced more
tough choices now more than ever. One of them is what career option to
pursue right after finishing school. As ASEAN Integration puts pressure on
Philippine higher educational institutions to internalize their campuses the
new k-12 programs has its own share reforms in the Philippine basic
education system. Thus, to be part with ASEAN neighbors, each Filipino
college graduate will have to face the following career options after leaving
school;

continue

further

education,

seek

employment,

or

pursue

entrepreneurship.
K12 Philippines (2015) stated that apart from the core curriculum,
which has 8 learning areas, the new senior high school system comes with
specific career tracks that seem like college course. They include (a)
Academic (b) Arts and design (c) Sports (d) Technical-vocational-livelihood.
Each senior high school student must choose one track to master and base
his/her choice on how he/she wants to advance after completing high school
or Grade 12. Career advocacy programs will also help and guide them in
choosing the right track for their selves. The tracks aim to advance the
students specialization and help them shine in areas where they excel.

Ghuangpeng (2011) identified several factors that were perceiver to


influence the career decision-making process of Thai and Australian students;
of particular importance were gender, the feedback students received during
work-placement; family obligations and career opportunities in the industries.
These factors appeared to be interrelated and could have a positive or
negative import on students decision to seek a career in the industry. The
study also highlighted the important implications of culture for career-decision
making and suggested that although Thai and Australian students identified
similar factors as influencing their career decision-making, they perceived the
importance or these factors differently. The study concluded that careerdecision making is a complicated process. Although this study provided as a
structured model to demonstrate how students make their decision, it is
essential to recognize the complex range of factors associated with students
decisions.
Fizer (2013), the objectives of this research study were to determine
what factors affect agriculture students choice of career path. A questionnaire
was developed and completed by 128 students in the freshman classes of the
University of Tennessee at Martin. According to survey, students are most
influenced by family when choosing as major; 22% chose family as the most
important factor influencing their choice of Major. However, 21% of the
students chose a career that is personally rewarding and 20% chose FFA

16

P O LY T E C H N I C U N I V E R S I T Y O F T H E P H I L I P P I N E S
14-N experience as the most important affecting factor in their choice. The
students who completed the questionnaire had a positive impact in the world.
Olamide (2013) they used 100 students that were randomly selected
from five secondary schools in Ogun State. The sample consists of 37 males
and 63 females. A questionnaire designed on the basis of likert-type scale on
the factors determining the choice of career based on environment. influence
and opportunity of the students was administered. Significant difference was
also found on the personality (tcal at p. 05= 673.48; tcrit 1.960) and the
significant difference of the opportunity of the students see (tcal at p. 05=
148.69; tcrit 1.960). the percentage on male and female was also carried out.
52% of male and 46% of female agreed that opportunity do affect career
while 42% disagreed for both male and female. 51% of male and 51% of
female agreed that personality do affect career choice while 42% and 45% of
both and male and female disagreed 50% of male and 54% of female agreed
that environment do affect career choice but 41% and 49% of male and
female does not agree. Conclusively, all the factors affect students in
determining the career.
Obiunu (2011) in his study, he concluded that some of the factors
influencing career development of senior secondary school students in
Ethiope East Local Government Area of Delta States. The study used senior
secondary school students because they are at the critical age of career
decision making process. The findings from the study indicated that career

counseling is required for appropriate career development. Some of the

include

Psychological, Sociological, Educational, Hereditary, and economic factors.


These play significant role in the career-decision making process of
secondary school students.
Mugonzibwa et.al (2001), the objectives of their study was identifying
factors that influenced career choice among high school in Tanzania. The
information obtained would be used to formulate effective recruitment
strategies and counseling students on their career expectation. All 352 high
school students who were studying in five randomly high schools completed a
pre-tested questionnaire containing 24 items addressing 5 factors. Images of
a profession (good experiences from the work of professionals from the
professionals who are attractive to respondents, and professionals who
command high respect in the community) was perceived as an important
factor in career choice by the majority of respondents (over 28 percent).
Work/ profession characteristics (knowledgeable about work to be done
treating patients, giving medicines to patients, helping relatives, etc.) was
ranked as the 2nd most important factor and course characteristics (availability
of post graduate studies, size of annual intake, pass rate, geographic
location, etc.) was ranked third. Direct gains and advices from important
persons were perceived as least important in career choice.

Albugamy (2014), his findings showed that wansta (networks) parental
obedience (family), religion, and extrinsic factors were significant predictors of
the career choices at Saudi MBA students, with a preference towards work in
the public sector. Saudification/Saudization (replacing foreign workers with
Saudis) factors did nnot significantly predict the career choices. Cultural
Cognitive factors were found to be one of the strongest predictors within the
institutional dimension compared t the normative factors and regulative
factors. Female participants considered Wansta, parental obedience, intrinsic
motivations more important in their career choices compared to male
counterpart.
Zaidi et.al (2012), their research was conducted to know the impact of
career selection on job satisfaction in the industry of Pakistan. The findings of
the study show that the significant relationship exists between career
selection and job satisfaction. The research also identifies that the career
selection based on the consideration of personality traits and values can
provide maximum satisfaction. Personality traits have a high impact on job
satisfaction. It was also concluded that work content values and career
contentment contribute highly in overall job satisfaction.
Mau (2016), their study examined the cultural relevance of two
important career constructs career decision-making style and career decision
making self-efficacy. Two distinct cultural group of college students,
Americans (N-S40) and Taiwanese (IV-1026), participated in this cross

19

P O LY T E C H N I C U N I V E R S I T Y O F T H E P H I L I P P I N E S
cultural study. Results suggest that career decision making styles have
differential impacts on career decision making self-efficacy, depending on the
cultural background of the individuals. Results also showed significant
differences in career-decision making style and career decision making selfefficacy as a function of nationality and gender. Counseling implications and
suggestions for future studies discussed.
Ferry (2006) conducted a qualitative study reported the explored
factors that plays key roles in rural high school seniors and young adults
career choice process. The cultural and social context of family and
community were found to be instrumental in how youth learn about careers
and influential in choices process. Extension strategies that target parents
and community to increase their involvement in youth career selection can
promote sound career decisions.
Baines (2009) conducted a study that examines the effects of culture
on career decision making for students at the London School of Economics
(LSE). There is an existing body of research which highlights the differences
between individualist and collectivist cultures. However, it has been limited for
international students based in UK. The results reveal that there are many
commonalities between students from different continents such as the
importance of personal interest and parents. Whilst there are also differences
it would not be appropriate. As the study is based at a single institution that

20

P O LY T E C H N I C U N I V E R S I T Y O F T H E P H I L I P P I N E S
research strategy does not allow for wider generalization, but provides an
important insight into the career decision making of international students.

Local Studies
In the study of Alba et.al (1010), they aimed to evaluate the factors that
affect the students decision in choosing their college courses of the Fourth
Year High School Students of Our Lady of Peace Antipolo City. Particularly, it
sought answers to describe the profile of the participants in terms of their sex,
academic performance, family monthly income, parents highest educational
attainment and the number of family members studying. It determined the
factors that affect the participants decision making process with respect to
their personal attainment and family background. It verified the participants
decision across factors which affect them.
Espero (2010) states that majority of the children of OFWs who
participated in this study exhibited Independence wherein it comes making
post-secondary career decisions. They chose a career path that leads to
white collar rather than blue collar jobs. Many preferred college for those who
decided to pursue technical-vocational program, they preferred postsecondary occupations which are service-oriented and do not require special
skills. Furthermore, the career decisions of the children of the OFWs are
neither dependent on selected internal factors such as birth order, expressed
interest, expressed motivation and gender; nor on external factors such as

21

P O LY T E C H N I C U N I V E R S I T Y O F T H E P H I L I P P I N E S
the like parents educational attainment, parents occupational status, family,
relatives, friends and media. Factor other than academic achievement like
migration plans, socio-economic status, parental attachment, and parental
expectations might have accounted for the influence on their career path.
Ignacio (2011), their study aimed at determining the occupational
interest if 75 Fourth year students (53.33 5 females and 46.67 % males)
students of Juan Sumulong Campus as well as the very influence of their
parents on their career decisions. Using both quantitative and qualitative
method, major findings were brought to light and these were the ff: 97.33 %
(n=73) of the students had a clear decision of pursuing college education and
1.33 % (n=1) was clear about taking up 2-year vocational course and likewise
the same percentage was apparent with another student who opted to work
immediately after graduating high school. For those interested taking-up
college education, top degree courses were Engineering and Accountancy
Courses as evidenced by a 1.33 % and 20% respectively highly influenced by
their parents and relatives as represented by 264wm, the respondents were
able to arrive at their chosen career making use of their cognitive over and
above as revealed 82.67 % to completely reach at a certain decision.
Cruz-Espaol (2014) conducted a study that utilized content analysis
and data are presented in simple percentage and ranking. It is likewise found
that: (1) Business Administration Students graduates plan to become
management trainees in Finance and Entrepreneurship and to become new

22

P O LY T E C H N I C U N I V E R S I T Y O F T H E P H I L I P P I N E S
accounts personnel. (2) Graduates consider interest, availability of the job
openings and the compensation package; and the organizations provisions
for the employees career advancement. (3) Graduating students strengths
include inclination for hard work, ability to work with minimum supervisions,
trustworthiness, determination to succeed, computer literacy, commitment to
the profession, self-confidence, ability to comply with the rules, honesty and
insufficient knowledge of office routine.
Datu (2012), their paper describes the relationship at the Big Five
Personality factors and the paternal parenting style to career preferences of
Selected Filipino College Freshmen. After Subjecting Data into statistical tool
analysis via SPSS 17.0 software, it was revealed that career preference is
significantly associated with gender, neuroticism, and authoritarian paternal
parental style were found out to be predictive determinants of Career Choice.
Laguador (2014) concluded that general Engineering Students get to
know LPU-Batangas in TV Commercials, followed by their classmates,
relatives, tarpaulin and Radio advertisements. The choice of School and
Course are their own personal choice. The mothers have much influenced to
the decision of the students in choosing the school and course compared to
the fathers. General Engineering students have chosen LPU because it is
well-known for its standards. The parents have the greatest influence in the

Pascual (2014) stated that the findings revealed that the availability of
work after college is the first consideration of students in choosing a course in
college. Most of the students prefer to take scientific related field courses or
the popular courses for Filipinos. The least preferred are in the agricultural
field. The results of the study served as the basis in the construction of a
career path program for laboratory school students. The authors conclude the
right course in college, suited to students personality, ability and intellect.
Helping students choose the career that suits them can be done by
integrating a career plan with a curriculum so that students can make good
decisions in what course to take in College.
Carito-Mattisor (2010) conducted a study attempted to identify factors
affecting career uncertainly as perceived by the students in a university of the
Philippines. One hundred thirteen students responded to a brief response
questionnaires in which they were asked to describe experiences that have
led them being either certain or uncertain about future careers, their feelings
resulting certainly or uncertainly. Results suggested that career uncertainly
may be influenced more by outcome expectations (such as expectation of
finding high paying jobs) rather than self-efficacy or other contextual supports
and barriers (such as parental pressure). The data also suggest that
information and guidance received prior to the collegiate years may be an
influential factor in career uncertainly. Suggestions for Career guidance for

College Students and future research into the utility of SCCT in Filipino
context are made.
Datu (2013) investigates the impact of the perfectionist technologies on
career decidedness. Findings revealed that organization positively correlate
to occupational knowledge and training while parental expectations positively
correlate to decidedness. A parental expectation serves as the robust
prediction of decidedness. Students with low perfectionism scored higher
decidedness comfort. On the other hand, those with high levels of
Perfectionism experienced greeter self-clarity, occupational knowledge and
training, decisiveness and career choice importance. From these results, the
positive and negative contributions of perfectionism on the process of making
career decisions are illustrated.
Aguado (2015) their findings revealed that it is the personal choice of
the students to enroll in Maritime Program in Lyceum of the Philippines
University Batangas with the support primarily from their parents wherein
quality education through being known as home of board top-notchers and its
standards are considered as big factor for their decision. They also believed
that finishing Maritime Education would bring them in employment in abroad
which is basically the nature of duties and responsibilities of seafarers; High
interest towards the degree program is also manifested among Maritime
Students. Maritime students graduated from public schools have significantly
higher chance of being influenced by the people in choosing the schools and

P O LY T E C H N I C U N I V E R S I T Y O F T H E P H I L I P P I N E S
the degree program and they also have significantly higher degree of interest
towards the Maritime Program compared to those who graduated from private
schools.

Synthesis and Relevance of the Related Literature and Studies


According to Georgia Career information Center, Careers New
Zealand and Janis, Making and choosing a career path is very critical in every
students life. They also stated that knowing what your interest, skill and using
some scientific steps can help you in choosing your career path. They also
added that people who surround you can help in your decision-making,
however, it is still you who will choose and decide where you are comfortable
with.
Mindtools editorial team and Beggs, in the other hand stated that if you
are trying to make the right choice you must consider some factors that can
help your career decision making. This includes rational and emotional level
or your psychological and social importances of your career. Considering
these some factors inside you will be a great help in choosing and making a
career decision in your life.
Taylor, Zody, Wildman and Mihyeon, added some factors that can
affect your career decision making. Academic ability,familys business, family
and friends, and your personality respectively. All of these factors are highly

26

P O LY T E C H N I C U N I V E R S I T Y O F T H E P H I L I P P I N E S
effective in making your career decisions because these four are like an
obligation for you to obey with no chance of making your own decisions.
K12 Philippines and De Vera address their concerns about the career
preferences by using the new education system of the Philippines which
involves High-schools students up to date and called Grade 10. The new
Education System will have a great impact on making their career decision in
terms of how they are interested with it and how will they comply after
graduating in our neighboring countries in ASEAN.

Therefore, our

government will have a very big role in implementing and ensuring that this
K12 system will be successful and can help students in their career decision
making.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY
This chapter shows the method of research used, Population, Sample
size and sampling technique, Description of respondents, Research
instruments, Data-gathering procedure and Statistical treatment of data.

Methods of Research
The researchers used descriptive method which focuses at the present
condition; the purpose is to find the new truth. (Travers, 1978) stated that
descriptive method is designed for the investigator to gather information about
present existing conditions. The primary aims in employing this method are to
describe the nature of a situation as it exists at the time of the study and to
explore the causes of particular phenomena.
This quantitative researched focused to the factors affecting career
preferences of PUP MM students. In turn, this study falls under the method
for the researchers to be able to determine the effects of the given variables.
Thus, it was appropriate to use descriptive method in this study since the
researchers goal was to determine the factors affecting career preferences of
their respondents.

Population, Sample size and Sampling Technique
The total population of freshmen of respondents are 314. The sample
for this study was computed through Slovin formula as indicated below:

Where:
n

is the computed number of samples

is the total number population

is the margin of error (.05)

n= 314/ (1 + 314 {.05}2 )


n= 314/ (1 + 314 {.0025} )
n= 314/ (1+ 0.785)
n=314/ 1.785
n= 175.910
n= 176
Using the formula, the computed sample is 176. A random sample from
each stratum or section of BSBA- MM was taken in proportion to the stratums
size and the population of 314 freshmen. The subsets of strata are then
pooled to form a random sample, hence, the sampling technique is called
stratified random sampling. This sampling involves the division of a population
into smaller groups known as strata. Strata are formed based on members
shared attributes or characteristics. In this study, the strata are the five (5)
sections. In the selection of each subset, the researcher used purposive

29

P O LY T E C H N I C U N I V E R S I T Y O F T H E P H I L I P P I N E S
sampling because the needed respondents were students with freshman
grades for the first semester of the school year 2015- 2016.

Description of Respondents
The first five (Day-shift) sections of Bachelor of Science in Business
Administration Major in Marketing Management have three hundred fourteen
(314) freshmen students: 65 1D students, 62 2D students, 58 3D students, 65
4D students and 64 5D students.
The sample size of freshmen students was 176. Every section was
equally divided into: 36 1D students, 35 1D students, 33 3D students, 36 4D
students, and 36 5D students.

Research Instruments
The researchers used research-made survey questionnaire about the
factors affecting career preferences. The test contains five parts with each
part pertaining to each factor that can affect their decisions: (1) Opportunity;
(2) Personality; (3) Environment; (4) Future Work Condition; and (5) Practice
Location.
The survey items were designed to know specifically each view of the
respondents in the factors given by the researchers. Each of the questions
have also been changed from past and recent findings from other researches
that were compiled and revised to fit in with the researchers current study.
The survey comprises 50 items as a whole, divided in 5 parts and with
each part containing 10 items. It is parted into five portions to define in each
issue the researchers have provided to the respondents primarily the
common aspects an individual must face in making his or her decision in the
matter of career preference and factors influencing and affecting these said
decisions.
