Unemployment crisis among fresh graduates / Nor Azilah Husin … [et al.]
Get PDFThe phenomenon of graduate unemployment has culminated many policy implications for higher education in many developed nations, such as Malaysia. The unemployment rate among fresh graduates increased to 25% in 2020 compared to 13.8% the year before, resulting in the total unemployment of new graduates a whopping 116,161 people. Why such an alarming rate? This paper aims to examine factors influencing unemployment crisis among fresh graduates. The obtained data on employers' preference, candidate attributes, and economic instability was done through a survey questionnaire distributed among 130 fresh graduates. Both descriptive analyses on demographic characteristics and inferential statistics were applied to analyse the data. The findings indicate significant association between employer's preference, candidate attributes, and economic instability with the unemployment crisis. The findings shed light on measures to be taken by the education ministry to prepare fresh graduates for better employment prospects. A revision to the higher education academic curriculum is recommended to meet the job market's and stakeholders' needs for better graduate employability

Get PDFShaping resilient higher education institutions through business continuity management / Ameer Haider Ali, Nor Azilah Husin and Mokhtar Abdullah
Get PDFBusiness Continuity Management (BCM) is the emergent organizational resilience and risk alleviating standard and is deemed necessary for competitive advantage. This study looked at exigency approaches (contingency) and risk management practices as covert causes which can contribute towards improved business continuity planning (BCP) and business continuity management (BCM), both, resulting in higher levels of university resilience. This quantitative research study adapted and adopted from an exploratory model to examine the factors influencing the practice of Business Continuity Planning (BCP) and Business Continuity Management (BCM) at higher educational institutions (HEIs). Survey responses were collected from 100 universities across 10 countries on four continents. Respondents comprised academic managers and academicians, including staff positions, personnel who are in-charge of operations and planning. The analyses showed strong evidence that contingency approaches and risk management together, have significant relationships with BCP and eventual BCM, thus impacting HEIs resilience. Even though risk management and contingency approaches have a significant impact on BCP, they do not have a significant influence on university resilience. Social, economic and developmental benefits are cited in the discussions section to strengthen the practice of BCM at HEIs
