The dependent variable used in this study is GDP at constant price (in billion) as a proxy for economic growth. Meanwhile the independent variables are export, import, total employment, and total investment. The data covers a sample of yearly data of GDP growth at constant price, export, import, total employment and total investment from 1975-2005. Total employment and total investment are represented by the number of total employment and gross fixed capital formation respectively. For this purpose of analysing data, the SPSS software was used to run the multiple regressions. In order to test the regressions results, the Coefficient of Determination denoted by R2, t-statistics, F-statistics, Pearson correlation, and Durbin Watson (d) test had been used. However, the final model had excluded the export variable as to overcome the problem of multicollinearity and autocorrelation and as to improve the model. The results show that the variables of total employment, total investment, and import are significant. The results show that there exist significant relationships between, total employment, total investment and import over the period under consideration. Total employment has a positive relationship with economic growth but import and total investment show results that do not conform to the theory. Surprisingly, both of import and total investment variables have positive and negative relationship with the economic growth respectively. These results can be explained by the effects of recession in early 1980s, the sudden economic crisis in 1997 that rocked Malaysian economic growth negatively and also the global economic downturn in 2001. 2006 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/84832/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/84832/1/84832.pdf text en public degree Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Faculty of Business and Management Wan Hasan, Wan Hasni
