Abstract

The new digital technologies integrated into economic and social life had determined the need for professionals in the economic field to possess and to develop new skills, capable of giving organization added value. The economics students´ groundwork for these new competencies is both a necessity and a consequence of the changes that have taken place in the different market types, as they increasingly become protagonists of their own learning process. The current endeavor is an effort to explore the students' attitude towards technology, in which the proactive attitude of economics students determines their involvement in economic life and their resultant determines how they relate to information technology as future professionals on the dynamic job market. The study is based on a number of 424 questionnaires completed between April and May 2024 by the students from The Faculty of Economic Sciences of the "Ovidius" University of Constantza, Romania, through which proactive attitudes and the active involvement into economic life and protechnology attitudes were determined, resulting in a significant positive correlation between them.
