“…In the current competitive environment, retaining domestic students is crucial for higher education institutions and for the prosperity of the country. As such, there is a need for a thorough analysis of student decision-making (Bartkute, 2017). The intended outcome of the student choice should be the attainment of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations of the student (de Boer et al, 2010;Mikkonen et al, 2009).…”

Means-ends decoupling implies that national policies and practices are disconnected from the state's core goal of creating public welfare. Employing sociological institutionalism, this article aims to explore how means-ends decoupling at the state level affects Ukrainian students' choice of university and study programme using semi-structured interviews with 65 full-time students from business studies, social work and professional education at one Ukrainian university. The findings reveal that, first, in addition to the state, the university also sustains means-ends decoupling. Second, means-ends decoupling at the state and university levels hinders the Ukrainian students from attaining their intrinsic and extrinsic motivations, such as personal development, professional preparation and employment. Consequently, the Ukrainian students' choices entail means-ends decoupling at the individual level, the degree of which varies depending on the subject area of the programme, study cycle and individual factors.

The purpose of this study is to further our understanding of dilemmas facing the third mission of universities. Through this dilemma-related information, we aim to provide paths for universities to reconcile these dilemmas and adopt a more holistic approach to university marketing. In so doing, we revisit Bthe shotgun wedding of industry and academia^(Hampden-Turner 1990, pp. 201-221). The dilemmas detected in this study revolve around two pairs, namely: BHighlighting intrinsic value of research vs. highlighting instrumental value of research^and Bfocusing on international scientific publications vs. focusing on popularization of science^. More than 700 verbal answers given by Finnish doctorates to one pair of open-ended questions were qualitatively contentanalysed. As its main novelty, the study adopts dilemma approach and focuses on perceptions of the neglected group of doctorates who have exited academia. The study suggests that universities adopt a more holistic marketing approach by devoting more effort to strengthening stakeholder relationships and co-production and improving science communication and related incentives.
