| dc.description.abstract | The focus of this quantitative study is to uncover the causes of brain drain among Malaysian professionals by examining the relationship between four independent variables (unattractive remuneration packages, poor opportunities for career growth, poor job satisfaction and poor quality of life) and the dependent variable (brain drain) by obtaining the perceptions of Malaysian postgraduates studying in higher institutions in Malaysia. This is because postgraduates form the cluster of the highest education level in Malaysia, thus offering highly valued views. Brain drain is classified as the emigration of individuals with technical skills or expertise from developing countries to developed countries offering better job opportunities. Malaysia’s development has been plagued as this phenomenon has continuously robbed Malaysia of its professionals’ contribution, with 308,834 high skilled Malaysians migrating from Malaysia in year 2013. A total of 170 questionnaires was distributed through snowball sampling and convenience sampling to respondents; postgraduates studying in universities located in Penang and Kuala Lumpur. By using SPSS, several statistical techniques were used such as descriptive statistics, factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. Through multiple regression analysis, it was found unattractive remuneration packages, poor opportunities for career growth and poor quality of life showed a positive relationship to the cause of brain drain while poor job satisfaction showed a negative relationship. | en_US |
