abstract: 'Purpose - The uncompromising preference of citizens for public sector
|
||||
|
||||
employment throughout the Middle East is not new. However, with the
|
||||
|
||||
recent saturation of the public sector job market and demographic
|
||||
|
||||
pressures, it has grown to become a problem of unpredictable economic
|
||||
|
||||
and social consequences. This paper aims to explore the factors
|
||||
|
||||
determining career choice behaviour and the underlying career
|
||||
|
||||
expectations and perceptions of young citizens in one Middle Eastern
|
||||
|
||||
country, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where the preference for public
|
||||
|
||||
sector employment is not only very strong, but is also perceived as
|
||||
|
||||
increasingly problematic.
|
||||
|
||||
Design/methodology/approach - Semi-structured interviews were conducted
|
||||
|
||||
with a total of 60 UAE citizens in the age group of 18-23.
|
||||
|
||||
Findings - The authors explore and discuss cognitive, social, and
|
||||
|
||||
institutional factors that influence the job-seeking behaviour of young
|
||||
|
||||
Emiratis and lead to negative attitudes towards the private sector. They
|
||||
|
||||
further suggest potential causes of the very low private sector
|
||||
|
||||
employment levels among UAE citizens and discuss their implications for
|
||||
|
||||
policy makers. The authors argue for two main approaches: first, a focus
|
||||
|
||||
on training and orientation of young citizens to enable them to
|
||||
|
||||
confidently pursue job opportunities in the private sector. This may
|
||||
|
||||
also include ways for providing young UAE citizens with private sector
|
||||
|
||||
exposure, as 98 per cent of the national workforce is currently working
|
||||
|
||||
in the public sector and a lot of what young UAE citizens think they
|
||||
|
||||
know about the private sector is not founded in reality. Second,
|
||||
|
||||
interventions to address structural and institutional challenges
|
||||
|
||||
hindering employment of citizens including gaps in employment conditions
|
||||
|
||||
and remuneration levels for citizens between the public and private
|
||||
|
||||
employment sectors.
|
||||
|
||||
Originality/value - While much previous research in this field has
|
||||
|
||||
focused on the perceptions of employers, this is the first paper to
|
||||
|
||||
actually explore the perceptions of those at the centre of the
|
||||
|
||||
discussion young UAE citizens themselves.'
