Abstract

This paper aims to provide an analysis of the labor market in Romania and to observe the perceptions of the employees regarding their careers in the Romanian business environment. Our primary goal was to understand the changes in behavior and to find solutions to reduce the risk of deterioration of relationships employee - employer, the risk of high employee demotivation, of an increased staff turnover and of a significant decrease of staff performance. The research method was based on a questionnaire survey; information collected was then statistically analyzed using Microsoft Excel. The 150 employees revealed their interest in developing a career, their availability to form new useful skills to perform in the currently-available or desired future positions and their concern for work-life balance; some of them showed an interest in a euro-career or even an international one. The results of our research can lead, on the one hand, to a better decision-making process in human resource management or in strategic management, and on the other hand, to rethink the processes of business education and training.
