摘要:Employability skills have become a serious issue among the new graduates. The academicians play crucial roles to ensure the graduates are ready to employ by industry. However, the link between employability skills and employment is still questionable. Hence, the study aims to identify the academician's perception of the importance, urgency, and performance of employability skills (basic, applied, interpersonal and 21st-century skills) among the new graduates in Malaysia. Besides, to determine which skill contribute more to employment opportunity. 607 academic staff from various universities in Malaysia participated in this study. Meanwhile, descriptive statistics, correlation, and multiple regressions are used to analyze the data. The result revealed that the academicians rated the skills highly on the importance of the other aspects. Furthermore, the academicians had moderate opinions regarding the students’ performance on the basic, applied, interpersonal and 21st-century skills. Accordingly, recommendations and limitations are highlighted in this study.
