Land use. Labor HD4801-8943 Labor. Work. Working class The Malaysian Skills Qualification Framework (MSQF) was formulated to classify skilled qualification that indicates the level of capabilities on competency descriptors. MSQF currently enforces competence-based training approach in skills training which is in line with National Occupational Skills Standard (NOSS). With the advent of National Dual Training System (NDTS), the existing MSQF may need to be revamped due to new requirements resulting from new orientation toward work process. Thus, the purpose of the study was to analyze the effectiveness of the existing MSQF for MSC shop-floor automotive technicians at level 3 to qualify as knowledge workers (K-workers). The study adopted the interpretive qualitative research design which was premised on the phenomenological method by using interview and observation. For purpose of data collection, participants selected for this study were those who have more than five years of experience in automotive industry and understand NOSS-based training and NDTS. The data analysis forms the themes and the categories that are useful to develop a new framework to show the relationships that exist among the categories under study. This study found that NOSS standards qualify students with specialized skills which restricts them in carrying out other duties and to understand the whole work process were facing challenges especially in fulfilling the industry needs due to technological and work organization changes. Secondly, NDTS based on the work process concept builds upon the business process orientation of new industry and supported by the whole work processes rather than specific or functional units only. Thirdly, based on the research data the new MSQF for MSC shop-floor automotive technicians at level 3 needs to be characterized in line with the two descriptors that are professional competence (knowledge and skills) and personal competence (social skills and autonomy). It is recommended that the new MSQF must be put in place in order to qualify appropriate K-workers for the automotive industry in Malaysia. 2013-09 Thesis http://eprints.uthm.edu.my/2194/ http://eprints.uthm.edu.my/2194/1/24p%20ARUNA%20ISMAIL%20%40%20ABD%20WAHAB.pdf text en public http://eprints.uthm.edu.my/2194/2/ARUNA%20ISMAIL%20%40%20ABD%20WAHAB%20COPYRIGHT%20DECLARATION.pdf text en staffonly http://eprints.uthm.edu.my/2194/3/ARUNA%20ISMAIL%20%40%20ABD%20WAHAB%20WATERMARK.pdf text en validuser phd doctoral Universiti Tun Hussein Malaysia Fakulti Pendidikan Teknikal dan Vokasional
