Keys to Career Success
According to more than half of adult Poles (59%) the key to career success is possessing knowledge and skills. In second place of importance is diligent work, indicated by somewhat over two fifths of those surveyed (43%). Fewer than one in three people thought that education had the largest influence on career success (30%). This ranking of key factors has remained stable for over a decade, though the last seven years have seen more emphasis placed on initiative and business acumen (up 4 percentage points to today’s 22%).

What careers do Polish people want for their sons and daughters? How has that changed since 2017? Answers to these questions can be found in the CBOS bulletin.
This ‘Current Events and Problems’ survey (414) was conducted using a mixed-mode procedure on a representative sample of named adult residents of Poland, randomly selected from the National Identity Number (PESEL) register. Respondents independently selected one of the following methods: Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI); Computer Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI), respondents receiving researchers’ telephone numbers in an introductory letter from CBOS; Computer Assisted Web Interview (CAWI), where respondents filled in the online questionnaire independently, gaining access by means of a login and password provided in an introductory letter from CBOS. In all three cases the questionnaire had the same structure and comprised the same questions. The survey was carried out between 3 – 13 October 2024 inclusive on a sample of 1025 people (59.9% using the CAPI method, 24.7% CATI and 15.4% CAWI). CBOS has been conducting statutory research using the above procedure since May 2020, stating in each case the percentage of personal, telephone and internet interviews.
