Abstract
Doctorate recipients have two choices for their career: academic or non-academic. The purpose of this paper is to examine various factors that affect their decisions in seeking and accepting academic or non-academic jobs. In addition, job satisfaction levels of doctorate recipients working for non-academic organizations are also evaluated. The paper proposes theoretical frameworks to capture how doctorate recipients make their career decisions and develops multilevel models to test the effects of individual and organizational variables.
