Abstract:
Throughout the qualitative study, researchers examined how graduates are
demanding jobs to settle an optimal balance between public and private jobs.
Findings are based on in-depth interviews with recently and earlier passed out
graduates from University of Jaffna. In this study, researchers revealed how a job of
graduates is finding an optimal balance, engaged in public and private jobs. Data
were collected from 25 recently passed out and 25 earlier passed out graduates. First,
researchers explored the situational and beneficial demands placed on those public
and private jobs, along with the optimal balance that often results from those
demands. Researchers then specified new model that reforms those job demands. To
produce results, researchers developed a theoretical model of optimal balance
between public and private jobs for graduates. Key findings of this study are the
gaining of consciousness regarding to job selection underpinning stimuli and discover
the balancing points between private and public jobs through inductive codes
developed by researchers in this qualitative exploratory study.
