“…In this study, the two factors “recommendations from others (family, friends, and teachers)” and “media (television, Internet, and social networks)” earned the highest and lowest coefficients for importance, respectively, under the external motivation criterion. Similar external factors such as parental recommendations (Lim & Muhtar, 2016; Wu et al, 2015), employment of a family member in the profession (Manzoor et al, 2010), and the influence of others' suggestions and encouragement (Crawford & Turvey, 2019; Mooney et al, 2008) have been identified in other related studies as considerations in choosing a career in nursing. Given that family, friends, and teachers are important influencers in a person's life, their role in a future job search may be expected to be crucial and significant (Mphahlele, 2011).…”

Background Choosing a career in nursing is frequently a complicated decision that is influenced by multiple factors. Purpose This study was designed to identify and rank the main factors that influence individuals to choose to pursue a career in nursing. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted at Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, Iran. A comprehensive review of the literature was conducted to identify the factors that people consider when making a choice to pursue a career in nursing. The face and content validities of these factors were evaluated. A sample of 250 participants was invited to assess the factors using exploratory factor analysis. Finally, the analytical hierarchy process, in combination with fuzzy logic, was used to rank the criteria and related factors. Results Twenty factors were identified and extracted from 50 published studies. After confirming the face and content validity of each, these 20 factors were distinguished into four criteria, including (a) external motivation, (b) social dignity, (c) internal motivation, and (d) usefulness of discipline. Each criterion had an eigenvalue greater than 1. External motivation and usefulness of discipline were respectively identified as the most and least important criteria (38.60% vs. 16.11%) in terms of influencing individuals to pursue a nursing career. Conclusions/Implications for Practice The results of this study show that exposure to positive recommendations from family and friends, receiving positive information about studying nursing, positive perceptions regarding the general usefulness of nursing knowledge, and migration opportunities to other countries are the primary factors that influence individuals in Iran to pursue a career in nursing.

“…The career path chosen by the student will determine the direction of his or her life (Saleh & Rosli, 2019). Students must learn about and immerse themselves in the work environment they may pursue later before deciding on a career path (Crawford & Turvey, 2019). This is due to rapid changes in the labour market, as well as the supply and demand of workers, causing an area of employment to become overly complex.…”

A country's economic development is driven by the management of its human resources. And the continuity of human resources is backed by the choices of careers available in local industries. This study focuses on examining the career choice in the tourism industry among Pekan Community College students. The aim is to identify the factor influencing students’ career choices in the tourism industry by measuring the intention to work in the tourism industry. The research method used in this study is quantitative with simple random sampling for 200 targeted respondents from Pekan Community College students. The data obtained from the survey were analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23. The result obtained showed that the study is expected to provide a clear explanation of the factors that cause the occurrence of manpower shortage in the tourism industry. Career knowledge and adaptability has influenced the students’ career choice. These two factors need to be provided to students to further strengthen their confidence in making career choices later.
