Title: Evaluating Part-Time and Fixed-Term Employment Schemes by Employees Using the Example of a Financial Insurance Company

Abstract: All forms of employment, part-time and fixed-term employment included, are
sustainable only if they create mutually beneficial conditions both for employers
and employees. While benefits for employers are more obvious in these particular
forms of employment, employees' preferences are less frequently discussed. The
study is a comparative analysis between employees with part-time and fixedterm
and with typical employment contracts with respect to exit rate and chances
of corporate career development. The data pool consisted of 4,683 employees
employed by a large Hungarian corporation. In contrast to previous studies, instead
of using qualitative methods, a quantitative analysis of employees' attitude towards
part-time and fixed-term employment was carried out as part of the research. The
focus of our investigation was to find out whether or not employees perceived
atypical employment as advantageous. Based on the results obtained, it can be
stated that compared to employees in typical forms of employment, the exit rate
among members of the two atypical employment groups was higher, and their
career development opportunities were also more limited.
