English Abstract
Human capital scholars assert that education is a basic factor in attaining personal success.
Based on this assertion, the attainment of the Master of Business (MBA) degree is a wise investment in a person human capital.
Current research offers little insight into a set of dimensions of career outcomes that other research didn’t study, in particular comparative delineation between extrinsic and intrinsic outcomes and how these career outcomes may be affected by MBA attainment.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the under-researched topic of career outcomes for MBA graduates through research questions.
These questions were designed to examine career outcomes from the aspect of quantifiable extrinsic elements, such as financial benefit and promotional opportunities, also to examine self-reported subjective benefits of the MBA, such as individual feelings of success, and perceptions of confidence.
The final question designed to examine the demographic variables which may have an effect on career outcomes (extrinsic & intrinsic).
This research was conducted and applied on a sample of 165 participants using the questionnaire tool, the researcher retrieved 154 out of the 165.
The collected data for this research included perceptions of the value of the MBA and the relationship of the credential to career outcomes for alumni in Gaza.
The findings of this research suggested that this particular graduate population benefited more intrinsically from their degree than extrinsically, the results showed that, the intrinsic career outcomes had the higher mean which equal 3.82 (76.47%), while the extrinsic career outcomes mean equal 3.62 (72.36%).
These findings demonstrate the importance of measuring both the intrinsic and extrinsic benefits of an MBA degree in today’s business world.
A recommendation for future research included expands upon solely the intrinsic benefits and explored the longitudinal factors of management responsibility later in one’s career, as well as the relationship between the MBA qualifications and desire and skills acquired to lead people.
