ABSTRACT This paper attempts to identify factors influencing students’ choices of higher education institution in Mauritius. Social exchange theory was used as theoretical foundation. A survey was conducted with students at tertiary level in Mauritius. A partial least square structural equation modelling was used to identify factors affecting students’ choices of higher education institution in Mauritius. The study revealed that factors like physical environment, transitional support and word of mouth have a significant positive influence on students’ choices. Nevertheless, this study also revealed that educational quality and support facilities do not have a significant effect on students’ choice in the country. Future research can make use of additional factors to provide more predictive power to the model.

影响小岛屿发展中经济体学生选择高等教育机构的因素

摘要本文试图找出影响学生选择毛里求斯高等教育机构的因素。社会交流理论被用作理论基础。对毛里求斯的大专学生进行了调查。使用偏最小二乘结构方程模型来确定影响学生对毛里求斯高等教育机构选择的因素。研究表明,诸如物理环境,过渡支持和口碑等因素对学生的选择产生了显着的积极影响。尽管如此,这项研究还表明,教育质量和支持设施对该国学生的选择没有重大影响。未来的研究可以利用其他因素为模型提供更多的预测能力。
