The Effects of Part-Time MBA Programs on Students: The Relationships between Students and Their Employers
Prince, Melvin; Burns, David J.; Manolis, Chris
Journal of Education for Business, v89 n6 p300-309 2014
The authors explore how the relationship between part-time master of business administration (MBA) students and their employers changes as students proceed through their MBA program by examining the degree to which students are integrated into their employer organizations. Significant positive relationships observed between students' progress through their MBA program and the integration factors of coworker support and future prospects with their employers suggest that an MBA education can have a positive effect on employee-employer integration levels. Consequently, in addition to increasing business knowledge and skills, an MBA degree appears to assist with integrating employees and employers.
