For this research, career choice is defined as a selection between becoming an entrepreneur or being an employee. The main research objectives are to find out how students who are about to enter the labour market (i.e. master\u2019s degree students in their last year) make such decisions (by modelling expected utility functions of presented job offers), what drives them in particular (which job attributes are most and least important to them and what trade-offs they make) and how likely they are to become entrepreneurs at some point of their career (multi-item analysis of Entrepreneurial Intention (EI), Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy (ESE), etc.).<\/p>\n The research project has been inspired by the theoretical model \u201cCareer Choice as a Utility Maximizing Response\u201d by Douglas and Shepherd (2000). The model assumes -on the ground of the Expected Utility Theory- that such choices are being made by maximisation of the utility derived from job attributes. So far only one empirical study has been conducted based on this model and what is more \u2013 by the authors themselves (Douglas, Shepherd, 2002). Having performed a detailed literature review on job attributes, 93 unique attributes were identified. Next, a new utility maximising model based on eight carefully selected attributes was created. The attributes were selected in such a way that they could fit description of being an entrepreneur as well as description of being an employee in a company. Namely: Effort<\/em>, Interdependence of work performance and income<\/em>, Decision making<\/em>, Income<\/em>, Being able to see a job through to completion<\/em>, Sense of responsibility<\/em>, Legal and financial responsibility<\/em>, Availability<\/em>. In order to model the utility functions based on the new model, an experimental design utilising the Adaptive Choice Based Conjoint Analysis (ACBC) method has been selected. Although the method is mainly used in marketing research, it is a perfect tool for detailed utility function modelling using \u201cbottom-up\u201d approach. It means that particular utility functions are created from the real choices that respondents make by filling in tailor-made (fully personalised in real time) questionnaire delivered via personal computer. In the first part of the research for the purpose of ACBC questionnaire, definitions of the job attributes presented to respondents were described in such a way that at no point choice between entrepreneurship and employment was explicitly stated (implicit part). In the subsequent part of the questionnaire (explicit part), multi-item questions related to -among others- entrepreneurial intention (EI) and entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) as well as questions related to entrepreneurship experience and current state of employment were included (Li\u00f1\u00e1n and Chen, 2009).<\/p>\n Data collection stage has been completed with 242 collected questionnaires (239 useful for the analysis) among master students of three different faculties of Gda\u0144sk University of Technology. The current progress of calculations and data analysis is estimated to be between 80-90%. It makes it possible to verify almost all research hypotheses.<\/p>\n The presentation during the seminar will be structured as follows:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Douglas, E. J., and Shepherd, D.A.
