As a result, the study explored factors affecting career choices of MAs and portrayed the effect of MA programs on personal and future development of MAs. Finally, the research addressed difficulties MAs encountered and their coping strategies to adapt to the work environment. The study was adopted the qualitative approach. A semi-structured interview was designed for 12 participants from international, domestic, governmental banks in Taiwan. The major findings were shown below. The process of MAs’ choosing careers was complicated, involving intrinsic, extrinsic and interpersonal factors. Through MA programs, MAs obtained professional knowledge about organization and financial industry and built interpersonal network within and without organizations.
