Abstract This study explores the job preferences of MBA students with a focus on how work location be it remote, hybrid, or on-site shapes their perceptions of work-life balance. In an era where flexible work models are becoming the norm rather than the exception, it is crucial to understand the evolving expectations of future professionals. Using a structured survey distributed via Google Forms, data was gathered from over 50 MBA students across different specialisations and academic years. The research applies a quantitative approach, employing moderated regression analysis to examine the influence of preferred work location (independent variable) on perceived work-life balance (dependent variable), while considering organisational support as a moderating factor. The findings highlight a strong inclination towards hybrid work among students, primarily due to its perceived positive impact on work-life balance. However, the effectiveness of such arrangements is significantly influenced by the level of support provided by employers. The study offers valuable insights for HR managers, recruiters, and academic career services to better align job roles and recruitment strategies with the preferences of today’s MBA talent pool.
Keywords Work-life balance, MBA job preference, work location, hybrid work, organisational support, student perception, moderated regression analysis.
