Managing the Human Potential of Highly Educated Experts in the Field of Technical Sciences

Migration of highly educated professionals has intensified worldwide in the last two decades. Attractive working conditions for highly educated specialists are subject to the human resource management policy in companies. The results of the regression analysis identified three variables of preferred working conditions in the workplace that have migration potential in the group of pull migration factors: advancement opportunities, work in the profession, and the possibility of ensuring a good quality of life. The purpose of the research was to analyse whether students in the technical field of science differ from students in other fields of science in the group of migration attraction factors. One-way ANOVA method is used for analysing differences between groups: no statistically significant differences were found in the preferences of students of technical sciences and students of other fields of science. These findings are useful to domestic companies when attracting and creating quality working conditions for technical science experts: employment in jobs in their profession, development of a career plan that includes learning and advancement, financial and nonfinancial benefits that ensure a good quality of life.
