Public Sector or Private Sector Employment? Perspectives of Students of a Private College in Penang
This study investigates factors affecting private college graduating students seeking public employment after graduation using a cross-sectional survey that involved 1,290 final-year students of a private college in Malaysia. Findings suggest that job characteristics, and some background and personal characteristics are significant determinants of respondents seeking government jobs. The study also found that the perception of discrimination against minority groups in public sector recruitment and promotion practices is prevalent among respondents. This study provides useful information to policymakers and employers in devising appropriate measures to attract talents. It is also useful to career counsellors in providing career advice to students to develop their career plans.
