Egyetemisták karrierhabitusa és vállalkozói hajlandósága
Career Habitus and Entrepreneurial Willingness of University Students

Summary/Abstract: The study examines the career plans of Hungarian university students in Transylvania. It gives a detailed picture about the type of career and position envisaged by them for their future professional life. Based on the desired career types, their career habitus and entrepreneurial spirit is also explored. The authors also examine the effect of several socioeconomic factors – such as age, gender, type of settlement, education level of parents, financial situation of families – on the career habitus and entrepreneurial willingness. The empirical background of the study is an online survey conducted in December 2020, which targeted the ethnic Hungarian students studying at universities in Romania. In the article the authors analyze the answers for the question: what type of position students would prefer to work in after completing their studies: as an employee, as an entrepreneur (with employees) or self-employed (freelancer)? Based on the answers, together with the background factors, we can examine the characteristics of those students who are willing to work as an entrepreneur or to be self-employed, and several socioeconomic determinant factors.
