A salient link between education and business sector is a prerequisite to cater economically productive manpower. Economic and social development supplements each other that can only be ensured via a functional education system. A dysfunction education system created by a biased clustering policy develops a greater horizontal and vertical mismatch with the job market in many developing nations. This mismatch dents the quality of business management that halts the national prosperity. Therefore, the role of education has become questionable. This research aims to bridge between education and business sectors.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>Given the differentiated nature of research questions, multiple techniques are used to collect the data. However, this research bears the norms of qualitative method. Both secondary and primary data are used. While, secondary data are collected by the banks, Bangladesh Bureau of Educational Information and Statistics (BANBEIS) and by the University Grants Commission (UGC), primary data are collected through interviews. Document review and data collected through personal communication with members of staff of sampled banks and institutes of HE also supplements. Data were collected from six commercial banks and from the Central Bank.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>Findings suggest that clustering system favours science graduates by depriving business counterpart, which creates an atmosphere of educational disparity. This disparity affects the symbiotic and reciprocal relationship that exists amongst different provisions (i.e. secondaryand tertiary) of education. Favoured clustering system further contributes for a larger \u201chorizontal educational mismatch\u201d with job market. Therefore, science graduates occupy the places in the banks where business graduates should ideally be employed. Being a dysfunction system, education fails to support substantially for social and economic developments.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>A few studies are conducted in the area of HE in Bangladesh but none covers the issue of impact of clustering system of education in secondary provision on HE and job market. Graduates' performance in carrying out the jobs is seen as the most important element for the business management. This study has suggested a unique way forward which would be able to reduce the mismatch between education system and job market, enabling a substantial business management process. Considering this, the paper is first on its kind.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/bpmj-07-2020-0339","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,9]],"date-time":"2020-09-09T01:00:55Z","timestamp":1599613255000},"page":"1315-1334","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Contribution of prejudiced clustering education system in developing horizontal and vertical mismatch in job market: quality of employees in banking sector"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Gazi Mahabubul","family":"Alam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Samsilah","family":"Roslan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,9]]},"reference":[{"volume-title":"Madrassa Education in Pakistan and Bangladesh","year":"2002","key":"key2024111212462315000_ref001"},{"key":"key2024111212462315000_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"15","DOI":"10.1007\/s11125-008-9055-0","article-title":"Making education for all inclusive: where next?","volume":"38","year":"2008","journal-title":"Prospects"},{"issue":"7","key":"key2024111212462315000_ref003","first-page":"409","article-title":"Comparing neo-liberal projects and inequality in education","volume":"37","year":"2010","journal-title":"Comparative Education"},{"issue":"4","key":"key2024111212462315000_ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"311","DOI":"10.1080\/00220480109596111","article-title":"Modeling student subject choice at secondary and tertiary level: a cross-section study","volume":"32","year":"2001","journal-title":"The Journal of Economic Education"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2024111212462315000_ref006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1108\/IJCED-01-2019-0006","article-title":"Quality assurance for private universities in Bangladesh: a quest for specialised institutional governance, management and regulatory mechanism","volume":"22","year":"2019","journal-title":"International Journal of Comparative Education and Development"},{"issue":"2","key":"key2024111212462315000_ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"285","DOI":"10.1007\/s10734-013-9712-y","article-title":"Quality assurance strategies for affiliated institutions of HE: a case study of the affiliates under National University of Bangladesh","volume":"68","year":"2014","journal-title":"Higher Education"},{"key":"key2024111212462315000_ref007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.techfore.2020.120184","article-title":"Can education as an \u2018International Commodity\u2019 be the backbone or cane of a nation in the era of fourth industrial revolution?
