Abstract

ABSTRACT There has been a growing talent shortage among property management professionals. University students studying residential property management (RPM) are in high demand, and often receive multiple job offers even before graduation. These university RPM programs must find a sustainable way to recruit students to their academic programs to continue to fill the growing number of openings in the property management profession. In the Introduction to Residential Property Management course at Ball State University (Muncie, Indiana), students are required to complete a job shadowing assignment with a property management professional, to explore the many career opportunities. This exploratory study examined the effect of the job shadowing assignment on students’ decision to declare one of the academic options in the RPM Program. Results indicated that students’ connection to the Ball State RPM Program increased after taking Introduction to Residential Property Management. However, the job shadowing assignment was not the sole reason for students declaring one of the RPM academic program options.

就业阴影对物业管理专业招生的影响

摘要物业管理专业人才日益短缺。学习住宅物业管理（RPM）的大学生需求量很大，甚至在毕业前就经常收到多份工作邀请。这些大学RPM项目必须找到一种可持续的方式来招收学生参加他们的学术项目，以继续填补物业管理行业越来越多的空缺。在鲍尔州立大学（印第安纳州蒙西）的住宅物业管理导论课程中，学生需要与物业管理专业人员一起完成一项工作跟踪任务，以探索许多职业机会。这项探索性研究考察了工作阴影作业对学生决定在RPM项目中申报学术选项之一的影响。结果表明，在学习了《住宅物业管理导论》后，学生们与Ball State RPM项目的联系有所增加。然而，工作跟踪作业并不是学生宣布RPM学术计划选项之一的唯一原因。
