An Empirical Analysis of Career Choice Factors Among Accountants, Attorneys, Engineers, and Physicians*.
通过调查会计师、律师、工程师和医生对职业选择因素的评分，用多重判别分析揭示四个职业在职业选择和激励因素上的显著差异。
Abstract ABSTRACT: Several studies have identified and reported various factors influencing career-choice decisions of accountants; but none has been reported that systematically relates career-choice factors of accountants with those of other professionals. To provide data for comparisons, ratings of career-choice factors were obtained from accountants, attorneys, engineers, and physicians. A multiple discriminant analysis of these data reveals distinctive differences in career-choice and motivating factors among the four professions.
