Young researchers – challenges of the academic career and possible causes of leaving the academic sector

Summary/Abstract: Young researchers are the steady supply of new talent that can ensure the quality and excellence of work in universities and research centres. At the same time, fewer and fewer people can afford to stay in the profession simply out of curiosity and love of science. Literature suggests that the different forms of researcher career transitions and job changes have a significant impact on academic succession and workplace culture. The studies reviewed suggest that motivation is mostly determined by material and personal factors such as pay levels, security, and a sense of esteem and workplace climate. Therefore, it can be said that a number of financial, promotional and employment factors contribute to the increasing rate of attrition. In this article we attempt to investigate this phenomenon and explore the reasons for it, based in part on the results of an online survey. Although a sense of lack of financial dignity was the most important reason for leaving a career, issues of mental health, working conditions and lack of job opportunities also featured prominently. In this context, opportunities for improvement and recommendation are made.
