Abstract

This research aims to investigate the relationship between push and pull factors and intention to work abroad among skilled workers, involving key variables such as job prospects, salaries and perks, promotion prospects, and working environment in Malaysia. This research was conducted around 384 skilled workers from three categories, such as technicians, managers and professionals. IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences tool (SPSS) was used to analyze and interpret the relevant data. The data was analyzed by using descriptive analysis, reliability test, and Multiple Linear Regression. The findings revealed that salaries and perks, promotion prospects, and working environment have significant positive effects on intention to work abroad, while job prospects played a non-significant role. However, this research also discusses shortcomings and suggestions for future research. Keywords: Intention to Work Abroad, Salaries and Perks, Job Prospects, Promotion Prospects, Working Environment Subject Area: BF1228-1389 Spiritualism including mediumship, spirit messages, clairvoyance
