Introduction

     With growing business ties, many Indians have moved to Dubai in search of work and opportunity .In fact, the UAE is home to almost 2.7 million Indian workers according to the last statistics, some of them have great education degree and some of them don't .Our topic is why Indian workers with significant degree are working in position that do not fit with their degree .Actually we choose it because we want to know the important reasons for this situation as the majority of labor in Dubai are from India, in other words, Studying an Indian group is easier than any other nationality, . In addition, we choose these question to determine some significant point .Such as, is the education nowadays is important to have a job, also, to see if the workers are satisfaction about their position. Finally, Indians are widely known of higher degree for example most of them are doctors, engineers, accouters and IT employee and in their home country there is a lack of job opportunities and the solution is to immigrate to find a job that meets their needs and wants. Hence it's interesting topic as we believe.

Research plan

To begin with research plan, we prepared 10 question that related to the topic so that we can make a survey and distributed to our target. Our target is 21 Indian people who works in Emirates Airline in Dubai, aged between 20 to 35 in planning, headquarter, cleaning, safety, structure, cabin and engine areas. General question so that we know if the workers are satisfied or no. We distributed Saturday morning 25 of April.

Data collection plan

As a group we decide to do a survey for employees who work in emirates group, also we did it to specific workers such as transport job, Aircraft technician professionals, securities and cleaners. We decide to do this survey on Saturday morning because we were free at that day, so we went to the engineering center and we ask them to give as an entry to get in but they refuse because we don’t have our entry permission from them and visitors are not allowed only when there is a meetings with the managers, we didn't have a choice so we called our friend that works in engineering center to give them the survey and answer it. On Monday we got all the surveys answered from workers. It was not easy to do the survey because of the strict rules they have, but we got all the information we needed so easy. 

Instrument:

Our question were about what degree you have ?, what is your current working position?, do you think the educational level match with your current working position?, do you feel comfortable in your working place?, do you think you deserve working in that place?, knowing that your educational level doesn’t match your working position then why you are still completing?, are you happy with the monthly working amount?, and  Do you wish to work in good or your education level position?

Sample / population:

We are calculating data from Emirates fly Engineers because it's well known that a lot of employees in their staff are working in place that extremely different than their degree. Also, engineering department always conclude Indians more than other nationality, they are sharp and intelligent in engineering.

Method:

And the only method that we use it to calculate the information by making hard copy survey, the survey was computing ten question that distributed to 21 Indian workers.

The bar chart illustrates if the workers immediately work after high school or not. As we can see, 61% of the employees and workers didn’t work immediately after high school, while 39% had work immediately after high school. 

The vertical axis represents the degrees employees have. The horizontal axis shows the number of employees. The graph shows, the biggest number of workers and employees who work in Emirates Group have a bachelor degree which is about 42%.

The graph shows, many different working position In Emirates Group and every employee work in different position. The highest working position is Aircraft Technician Professionals which is 61%, in different areas such as Air craft operation, Air craft scheduling controller and Air craft production planning. 

The graph shows, if workers educational level match with their current position. 58% of Workers claim that they are satisfied in their current working position.

The chart shows, if workers are comfortable in their working place. We can see that 70% of the Employees and workers are satisfied in their working place, even when 33% of workers said their educational level does not match with their current position, but still they are comfortable.

The chart shows, if employees would be successful in higher position. There were nearly 95% of the employees and workers sure that they would be successful in higher position.

The chart shows, huge number of employees are not satisfied with their salaries which is 46%. This brings me to, some of the employees are not happy at all about their salaries and it’s not enough for their status even when most of them are comfortable in their working position which is 70%.

The bar chart shows, 23% employees don’t have an options and prefer to work at any place, even when 85% of workers said that it doesn’t match with their educational level. But, 33% of the employees agree to work to get some money rather than doing nothing, while 67% of the employee’s works to have some experiences and certificates. 

The bar chart shows, if workers have an opportunity to work in any company where they would like to work. In employee’s opinion, 57% said if they had an opportunity to work in any company they would work in other companies such as Etihad Airlines or as Engineer, while 42% of the employees prefer to start their own businesses rather than working for companies. 

The graph shows, 47% of the employees think that if they complete their studies it will help them to improve their status. On the other hand, 51% of the employees think that if they had a good skills such as communication, planning and well organized it will help them improve their status.  

Conclusion

In sum, we highly recommend the organization to hire the workers in its suitable place likewise, we recommend the ministry of labor to protect the workers’ rights. Because when workers place in job that does not match with his degree and with less salary, there will be no workers in the following years.
