Personal Interest on career choice

Personal interest is one of the main factors that influence the choice of career of a fresh undergraduate. According to Gacohi (2017), the majority of her respondents indicated that choosing their most preferred field of study was largely influenced by their interest in a certain vocation. A person is more likely to feel passionate about something when they are really interested in it. This passion fuels motivation and a willingness to put up the time and effort necessary to acquire knowledge and proficiency in that field. In a study conducted in Pakistan (2018) by A. A. Humayon, Raza, Aamir Khan, and Ansari, they stated that People should take their personal interests into account when making career decisions because: 1) They would perform better in the field that interests them; 2) People who choose careers that match their personal interests are typically successful; and 3) People could experience greater fulfillment and happiness while working in the field of interest by.

Corporate Governance

Financial distress is indicated by poor financial reports, particularly in the reporting of earnings and cash flows. Because there is no guarantee that the money will be returned, this condition may make investors and creditors reluctant to contribute money. The Altman Z-Score is a financial statement analysis-based measure of financial distress created by Altman in 1968. The risk of bankruptcy decreases with increasing Score value; on the other hand, if the Score is low, the risk of bankruptcy may grow (Noviyani & Yulianti, 2022). 

The proportions of institutional ownership, management ownership, independent commissioners, and audit committees are among the corporate governance techniques that are frequently utilized (Almalita, 2017). Institutional ownership is the possession of a firm at the end of the year by a governmental body, a company under legal authority, a financial institution, a foreign institution, a funding institution, and/or another institution (Suparlan & Timur, 2019). Institutional ownership plays a crucial function in management since it can enhance the monitoring system and help managers maintain discipline when conducting business. Company managers may be compelled by institutional parties to concentrate more on business success and forgo opportunities to pursue personal interests (Firman & Widodo, 2022).

The topic of corporate governance is influenced by agency theory, which argues that when a company's management is removed from its ownership, agency issues occur (Homayoun & Homayoun, 2015). A company's board of commissioners and directors, who serve as agents for the shareholders, are granted authority to control the company's operations and make decisions on their behalf. Because of their power, the manager has the potential to behave against the owner's best interests due to a conflict of interest. In other words, according to Dhaliwal et al. (1982), and Homayoun and Homayoun (2015), management has interests that are distinct from those of the owner. The core idea of managing agency theory presents a novel perspective on corporate governance. The partnership between the primary (shareholders or business owners) and the agent (management) is how a corporation is portrayed. A check and balance system is required because 14 management has vested interests, which lowers the possibility of management abusing their position. 

A key part of corporate governance is the board of directors. A competent and diverse board is essential for efficient supervision and strategic decision-making. According to studies Adams & Ferreira, (2018), boards with more representation of women and minorities perform better and manage risks, which increases shareholder value. Over the selected time period, research on corporate governance has shown interest in the subject of executive compensation. Researchers have looked at the connection between executive remuneration and firm performance (Jensen & Murphy, 2018). Excessive compensation without a clear connection to performance might result in incentives that aren't matched, which can cause issues with agencies and lower organizational effectiveness.

Shareholder activism has acquired recognition as a crucial tool for enhancing corporate governance. Studies of Aguilera et al., (2020) have concentrated on how activist interventions affect business performance, governance procedures, and long-term sustainability. Shareholder activists frequently push for reforms that advance business ethics, social responsibility, and shareholder value. Corporate governance practices have been greatly impacted by technological advancements. Big data analytics, artificial intelligence, and block chain technology have all created new opportunities and difficulties. The use of electronic instruments for management of risks, governance, and compliance has been the subject of research (Chen et al., 2021).

ESG measures have become crucial gauges of the sustainability of an organization and ethical business conduct. According to research Khan et al., (2020) examining the relationship between environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance and financial performance, businesses with high ESG scores have a higher chance of outperforming their competitors in the long run. In recent years, corporate governance in emerging markets has attracted attention. Researchers have examined the particular difficulties that businesses in these areas confront as well as the effects of regulatory changes on governance practices (Maas et al., 2021).

Theories of Career Choice

Person – Environment Fit (P: E Fit) Theory Each person has some unique set of interest and skills as well as different jobs require different skills and characters. When a person with the specific interest and skill finds a job with requirements which match those interests and their specific skills, then that individual is likely to be a great fit for that career. People – Environmental fit theories are essentially an occupational fit approach to career guidance. Frank Parson described this process when he founded a career counseling agency in Boston, Massachusetts (Parsons 1909). This approach was used by Roger (1952), who used a series of questions to guide the interviews that he does with clients seeking career advice. His “seven-Point Plan” was widely used in the 1950s to provide career guidance to young graduates. John Holland (1985) elaborated P: E Fit theories. Holland focused on the differences between individuals rather than their similarities. It identifies six type of indivi...
