The article has the theoretical-empirical character. Identifying the internal structure of reasons of lack of Polish young potential employees' interest in universities as employers was the main goal of this paper.

The results of this analysis show that the aspects connected with mentioned reasons have not been studied yet. The more the opinions about the way of perception of universities' employees in the comparison of others organizations' employees have not been taken into account in the analysis. So one can talk about the existence of cognitive gap and empirical gap in this scope. Striving to reduce these gaps the empirical studies were conducted.
