Introduction: Student satisfaction with higher education is a critical indicator of the quality of the educational process and significantly impacts their academic performance, motivation, and overall life satisfaction. The Pharmacy program requires students to maintain a high level of concentration, a serious approach to studies, and deep mastery of the material, making the evaluation of student satisfaction in this field particularly relevant. This article examines the issue of assessing student satisfaction with higher education among Pharmacy students at the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia.

The purpose of this article is to assess the level of satisfaction with higher education among students enrolled in the Pharmacy program. The study aims to identify factors influencing the level of satisfaction and to determine the extent to which various aspects of the educational process affect overall student satisfaction.

Materials and Methods: The study involved 104 students from the 1st to 5th years of the Pharmacy program. The average age of the respondents was 20.6 years. A mixed-method approach, including both quantitative and qualitative methods, was used to assess student satisfaction. A set of statements was employed in the study, through which students evaluated various aspects of the educational process, such as the conditions at the faculty, the quality of the academic programs, the attitudes of the faculty members, and the accessibility of educational materials. Data were collected through a survey and subsequently analyzed.

Results: The results of the study demonstrated that the level of student satisfaction varies significantly depending on the year of study and specific conditions at the faculty. The highest level of satisfaction was observed among junior students, while senior students expressed greater dissatisfaction with the academic programs and conditions at the faculty. Significant differences were also found in students' perceptions of the faculty members' attitudes and the accessibility of educational materials, indicating a need to review and improve certain aspects of the educational process.

Conclusion: The study confirmed the existence of significant differences in the level of satisfaction with higher education among Pharmacy students. The main factors influencing satisfaction include the quality of academic programs, the conditions at the faculty, and the attitudes of the faculty members. To improve student satisfaction, it is recommended that regular surveys be conducted and that improvements to the educational process be implemented based on student feedback.

Introduction: The article shows the relevance of a systematic study of youth career strategies as an important part of the social portrait of the youth environment of the territory and as a field of request for support from government bodies and the state youth policy administration.

Purpose: study of indicators of youth career strategies reflected in life dispositions and the life planning system.

Materials and Methods: To conduct the study, data from the annual monitoring of youth social strategies in the Belgorod region were used. The sample included 5,881 respondents, comprising school students, university students, and working youth. The research methodology involved a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods: a large-scale online survey and focus groups. Quantitative data were analyzed using statistical methods, while qualitative data were subjected to thematic analysis.

Results: Career dispositions of young people were assessed as indicators in the research model, important life steps in ensuring career strategies were identified, a factor model of decision-making in choosing a place to realize career aspirations was built, and some characteristics of the early career stage for young people were given. It was determined that in the regional youth space, the career-oriented type is more represented than others and young people have quite pronounced career ambitions. An important result was the determination of the orientation of young people towards entrepreneurial trajectories in the implementation of career strategies. The growth of youth groups pessimistic about the possibility of realizing a career in the regional space was identified as a risk.

Conclusion: The study highlights the importance of developing support programs aimed at youth to foster their entrepreneurial potential and career ambitions. The research findings can be utilized to formulate effective youth support strategies at the regional level, contributing to the strengthening of the region's economic and social potential.

Background: The global issue of university graduates being unable to work in their chosen fields is a pressing concern that spans across various industries and countries. This trend calls into question the effectiveness of higher education in aligning students' education with labor market demands. The underlying causes of this issue are diverse and complex, encompassing factors such as shifts in the labor market, individual preferences, and the perceived relevance of acquired knowledge and skills. 

The purpose of this scoping review is to systematically analyze existing literature to uncover the primary causes of this trend and its implications for higher education institutions and policymakers.

Materials and Methods: This review adheres to established best practice guidelines, utilizing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) to guide the reporting process. A thorough search was conducted across ScienceDirect and ResearchGate, focusing on studies published in English between 2017 and 2023 that met specific inclusion criteria. 

Results: The initial search identified 681 relevant articles. After an initial screening, 265 articles were removed due to duplication, and another 163 articles were excluded as irrelevant. The secondary screening narrowed the selection of relevant sources down to 30 studies. From these, 22 unique categories were extracted and thematically grouped into five broad categories: general trends, employee welfare, wages, employer expectations, and the role of the education system. Most studies identified a mismatch between graduates' skills and labor market demands, the influence of personal interests and values on future career strategies, and the lack of practical work experience during studies. However, broader socio-economic factors and the role of higher education institutions in addressing these issues were often overlooked.

Conclusion: The current review highlights the multifaceted nature of the problem, wherein a significant portion of university graduates is unable to work in their trained specialty. To address this issue, a comprehensive approach is required, taking into account individual, institutional, and socio-economic aspects. Higher education institutions should play a more active role in preparing students for the labor market, not only by providing relevant knowledge and skills but also by fostering adaptive abilities and promoting the concept of lifelong learning.

Introduction: The level of stress and staff turnover among knowledge workers, particularly in the scientific field, remains high. Both intrinsic motivation and external rewards play a crucial role in increasing job satisfaction. Employees of chemical and petrochemical research institutes, due to the specifics of their work, require a high degree of autonomy, constant intellectual activity, and opportunities for self-development. Understanding the motivations of these employees is essential for enhancing productivity, creating a positive work environment, and preventing staff turnover.

Purpose: To determine the relationship between motivation type, professional personality type, gender, age, work experience, and job responsibilities, and to study their influence on professional behavior and success in a scientific career.

Materials and Methods: The study involved 60 employees of a petrochemical research institute. The sample considered age, gender, and job specificity. The methodology included surveys, interviews, and testing using modified versions of Gerchikov's and Holland's methods. The Spearman rank correlation coefficient was used to analyze the relationship between motivation and the respondents' socio-psychological characteristics.

Results: The study revealed that the type of motivation among scientific employees depends on age and job position but shows no significant differences by gender. Significant correlations were also found between motivation types and professional personality types.

Conclusion: The study confirms the existence of a relationship between motivation type and professional personality type, varying according to age and job responsibilities. The patriotic motivation type is more common among managers, while the instrumental type prevails among junior staff. The findings can be useful for developing personnel management strategies aimed at increasing work efficiency and employee satisfaction. Future research can expand these results by applying them in recruitment and developing professional development programs.
