Purpose: The aim of the article is to examine the selected determinants of the expected rate of return on human capital. Methodology: We conducted an anonymous survey of expected salaries among the Accounting and Controlling students at the Cracow University of Economics, which provided a unique setting for the analysis. On the basis of collected data for the cost of living and the cost of professional education for every participant, we used the human capital model developed by Dobija to compute the perceived level of the human capital of each individual. Then, we compared the expected salaries with the perceived levels of human capital and computed expected rates of return on human capital. The following research methods are used: literature review, statistical tests, econometric modeling. Findings: On the sample of 754 respondents, we found that male students expect a higher rate of return on their human capital than female students, while older students expect a lower rate of return on human capital than younger students. Research limitations: Only one field of study was used to measure the determinants of the expected rate of return on human capital. Originality: We contribute to the salary expectations and human capital literature by identifying a significant gender salary expectations gap that holds even after considering individually assessed costs of living and professional education. Our findings are consistent with the well-known observation that women tend to expect lower salaries than men.

University graduates are entering the labour market and they expect to be rewarded for their accumulated knowledge and skills. The levels of these assets vary. Students also differ in their salary expectations. The aim of the paper is to investigate the relationship between salary expectations of Accounting and Controlling students and their current educational achievements. The research methods used in this paper include: analysis and critique of literature, statistical tests (Shapiro–Wilk W test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, Spearman rank correlation), econometric modelling (models are estimated by OLS and Huber/ White robust standard errors are used to assess statistical significance of each parameter). We conduct a survey among full-time Accounting and Controlling students from Cracow University of Economics. Our pilot sample comprises of 59 respondents who are second year students. The analysis of our econometric models reveals that GPA and language certificates are significantly associated with expected salary. However, there is a puzzle which manifests itself in a negative relationship between expected salary and GPA, even after controlling for holding a foreign language certificate.

Absolwenci studiów wyższych oczekują adekwatnego wynagrodzenia do uzyskanych przez nich wiedzy i umiejętności, które różnią się pomiędzy studentami. Studenci różnią się także pomiędzy sobą oczekiwaniami płacowymi. Celem tego artykułu jest zbadanie zależności pomiędzy oczekiwaniami płacowymi studentów rachunkowości i controllingu a ich osiągnięciami akademickimi. W artykule zastosowano następujące metody badawcze: analiza i krytyka piśmiennictwa, testy statystyczne (test Shapiro-Wilka oraz test znakowanych rang Wilcoxona, korelacja rang Spearmana), modelowanie ekonometryczne (modele są estymowane metodą OLS, a statystyczna istotność parametrów jest określana z wykorzystaniem odpornych błędów Hubera-White’a). Przeprowadziliśmy badanie ankietowe wśród dziennych studentów kierunku rachunkowość i controlling z Uniwersytetu Ekonomicznego w Krakowie. Nasza pilotażowa próba badawcza obejmuje 59 respondentów, którzy są studentami drugiego roku. Analiza modeli ekonometrycznych ujawniła, że średnia ze studiów i fakt posiadania certyfikatu językowego są istotnie związane z oczekiwaniami płacowymi. Ciekawe jest jednak, że występuje negatywna współzależność pomiędzy oczekiwaniami płacowymi a średnią ze studiów, nawet przy zastosowaniu zmiennej kontrolnej, jaką jest posiadanie certyfikatu językowego.
