Abstract

Suggests that past research has revealed a number of determinants of selection decisions for college students. Given the trend towards “generalist” degrees, aims to examine how graduating seniors in a general business field (management) would rate certain job factors. Reports business management seniors′ ratings of 23 factors potentially present in workplaces. Discusses the most and least important factors and presents implications for organizational recruiting practices.
