Abstract

This paper investigates the influence of education and skill mismatch on job search behaviour and quits intention among workers in the manufacturing sector in Malaysia. Three indicators of mismatch were employed here; over-education, overskilling and job mismatch and they were measured using workers’ own assessment. Using data from own field survey, the 2016 Co-workers’ Externalities at Workplace (TERS-16), it was found that 18%, 45% and 37% of respondents were deemed overeducated, overskilled and being in mismatched jobs, respectively. Using random effect probit models, three main findings were observed. As expected, there was strong evidence that overqualification resulted in job search activity. Being in jobs that completely different from workers’ actual field of study also increased the likelihood of seeking new jobs relative to the reference group. Finally, being overskilled also led to a higher probability of being engaged in job search behaviour. Interestingly, the magnitude of the effect was twice higher for the severely than for the moderately-overskilled. These findings were robust even after all education-skill mismatch indicators were controlled for together. The results of the study reflect greater potential mobility amongst the mismatched workers in Malaysia. There is impossible to ascertain whether or not such a move results in improved matches due to data limitation. Yet, from a firm’s perspective, higher intensity of job search behaviour among the mismatched may lead to a higher turnover rate and incur hiring and training cost.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to explore the nature of East Asia’s automobile production networks by means of social-network methods. In this paper, we have also developed a domination degree index (DDI) and domination intensity index (DII) to measure the dominating power of each East Asian country in the automobile networks. The results suggested that the networks of East Asia’s automobile industry are expanding over time both in terms of the number of links in the network as well as the strength of those links. This result indicates that both export and import of automobile products in this region increase significantly over time. In addition, Japan has emerged as the main player, both in the case of auto parts and components (PC) and final automobiles. The Republic of Korea has also emerged as the second most important player in East Asia’s final automobile networks, while China has become the second most important player in East Asia’s auto PC networks. Even though Thailand is the third most important player in East Asia’s automobile networks in both auto PC and final automobiles, the analysis of this paper has suggested that there is a possibility for this country to overtake China and the Republic of Korea to become the second most important player in terms of both auto PC and final automobiles. The dramatic changes in the development of Thailand’s automobile industry as well as significant development in China’s auto PC have been made possible by the pivotal role played by Japan (on Thailand) and the Republic of Korea (on China) – all of which have stimulated the development of their subordinates’ auto industry in a so-called “win-win situation”
