Abstract

As the economy of Malaysian government has transformed from a typical economy to human capital economy, the demand for Technical and Vocational Education & Training (TVET) institutions as a platform to develop human capital is also increasing. TVET based institutions in Malaysia are known as formal and informal learning sector which provide youthful people with the expertise and skills needed in the work sector. However, TVETbased qualifications and careers in Malaysia are perceived poorly and does not receive recognition in the workplace in terms of employability. These institutions cannot achieve their predetermined goals without effective leadership as the success and failure of the objectives depend on lecturers. Over the last three decades, transformational leadership has achieved legitimacy that has been showed to be an effective and influential enabler especially in developing employees’ attitudes and behaviours. Thus, the aim of present research is determining the role of lecturer’s transformational leadership in effecting students’ employability. This study was conducted in ten (10) Technical and Vocational Education & Training (TVET) institutions located at Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak. A total of 350 final year students were involved in this research which used the quantitative research design approach. Pearson correlations, linear regression and multiple regressions analysis were used to analyse the collected data. The findings indicated that lecturer’s transformational leadership significantly and positively correlated with students’ employability. In addition, the result also indicated that students’ employability can be affected by role of lecturer’s transformational leadership style. Based on the findings, it is indicated that lecturers must display an effective inspirational motivation, idealized influence, individualized consideration and intellectual stimulation which will then stimulate employability development among students especially in TVET institutions.

讲师转型领导对学生就业能力的影响&马来西亚职业技术教育培训机构

随着马来西亚政府经济从典型经济向人力资本经济转型，对技术和职业教育培训机构作为开发人力资本的平台的需求也在增加。马来西亚的职业技术教育与培训机构被称为正规和非正规学习部门，为年轻人提供工作部门所需的专业知识和技能。然而，在马来西亚，基于TVET的资格和职业被认为很差，在工作场所也没有得到就业能力方面的认可。如果没有有效的领导，这些机构就无法实现其预定目标，因为目标的成败取决于讲师。在过去的三十年里，转型领导已经获得了合法性，这被证明是一种有效和有影响力的推动者，尤其是在培养员工的态度和行为方面。因此，本研究的目的是确定讲师的变革型领导在影响学生就业能力方面的作用。这项研究在位于马来西亚半岛、沙巴和砂拉越的十（10）所技术和职业教育与培训（TVET）机构中进行。共有350名大四学生参与了这项采用定量研究设计方法的研究。采用Pearson相关、线性回归和多元回归分析对收集的数据进行分析。研究结果表明，讲师的变革型领导能力与学生的就业能力显著正相关。此外，研究结果还表明，讲师的变革型领导风格会影响学生的就业能力。研究结果表明，讲师必须表现出有效的激励动机、理想化的影响力、个性化的考虑和智力刺激，才能促进学生的就业能力发展，尤其是在职业技术教育与培训机构。
