Features of Employer Attractiveness on Lithuanian Business Organizations: Employees’ Perceptions

Abstract

Elections of the most attractive employer take place both in Lithuania and worldwide. Instruments used to measure organizational attractiveness in these elections are focused on a priori features of a universal “employer of choice” and therefore neglecting a fact that people may have different perceptions and preferences. Addressing this limitation the article presents the results of an empirical study of employer attractiveness in Lithuanian business sector. Based on the responses (N = 1020) to an open-ended question, the study allowed to identify the most important features of an attractive employer, namely: attractive salary, good working atmosphere, flexibility and freedom at work, timely payment of wages.
