ABSTRACT

Although there is a growing understanding that college students need to develop a wide range of knowledge, skills, abilities, and personal resources for career success, it is necessary to address students’ major expectations in their future careers. The primary purpose of this study is to explore students’ career expectations by examining the relationship among critical factors: i.e., motivation, attitude, and work expectation. A sample of 529 responses was collected from students at a university in the Southwestern region of the USA. The results show that there are significant relationships between all factors. The findings of this study can help the hospitality industry and human resource managers to better understand their future employees.

尽管人们越来越认识到大学生需要发展广泛的知识、技能、能力和个人资源才能取得职业成功，但有必要解决学生对未来职业的主要期望。本研究的主要目的是通过检查关键因素（即动机、态度和工作期望）之间的关系来探索学生的职业期望。从美国西南部地区的一所大学的学生那里收集了 529 份答复样本。结果表明，所有因素之间存在显着关系。这项研究的结果可以帮助酒店业和人力资源经理更好地了解他们未来的员工。
