英文摘要 | Human capital theory postulates that human capital investment has positive effect on wages. Training as one of the human capital variables will enhance workers skills and productivity and hence, raise their wages. However, training effectiveness is rarely studied in Malaysia. Viewing from great emphasis of the Malaysian government on training through its large budget allocation, it is very important to view training effectiveness. Training can take many forms and its expenses can be financed by individual or employers. Training can also take place in short, medium or long- term, on-the-job or off-the job. The variation in the forms of training will subsequently lead to different effects on wages. It is hypothesized that company financed, long- term and on-the-job training are more effective than own financed, short- term and off-the-job training respectively. This paper attempts to examine the effect of various types of training on individual wages in manufacturing sector in Malaysia. Analysis is based on the data of 2045 workers surveyed in 1999 in Lembah Klang and Penang. They comprise of production workers working in various manufacturing sub sectors. The results from this study show that various fields of training have positive significant effect on wages. Training received from previous job and on-the-job training also contributes significantly to wage increase. In contrast, off-the-job training and length of training are not significant. |
