| Summary: | Given the number of workforces in agriculture sector in Malaysia keep declining over the years. There is a cause for concern on the above issue due to its relation to the unemployment among students which affected the growth potential of an economy. Furthermore, the increase in unemployment indicates that capital resource in the labour market is underutilized. Agricultural sector is believed to as one of the solutions to overcome unemployment issue and able to provide great prospect in long term. However, the extent to which students were likely to engage in agricultural related career near future need to be explored. There is also limited local studies on career intention in the context of agriculture. Thus, it is crucial for local scholar to investigate how agricultural sector can attract students to involve and contribute in this sector. This study develops an integrative framework for exploring and understanding the predicting factors (situational factors, nature of work and career prospect) on agricultural related career intention among students. This study also postulates that self-efficacy would moderate the relationship between independent variables and agricultural related career intention. |
