This paper is to survey researchers’ efforts in response to the most number of criteria of lecturers’ performance into various domains, connecting the research insights from the literature into a consistent taxonomy, and figuring out the gaps on this vital research area. The fundamental search is relating to 1) personnel evalaution especially lecturer; 2) education-related; 3) criteria and applications (methods). Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and IEEE Xplore are reliable sources that can cover education and technical literature. The final number of studies is 78. Five articles are reviews to characterize the evaluation criteria for specific specializations. An another group (73/78) is research articles that include diverse evaluation criteria and domains. Most domains covered criteria, such as knowledge, skills, experience, and qualification.
Graduate employability has always been an issue of concern when prospective employers complain of the lack of prerequisite attributes of fresh graduates. Despite the many efforts to ease the problems, graduate employment issues continue to plague Malaysia’s labor market. We attest the veracity of this remark by the continued and prolonged social issues, as consequences of these problems, faced by many parties including government agencies, higher learning institutions, industries, parents and unemployed graduates themselves. Higher learning institutions and industries are often at odds when it comes to graduate’s quality. Parents and their unemployed children present another social problem. In our contribution to mitigate these issues, this paper proposes a conceptual framework which involves the main stakeholders related to the graduate employment issues. The cooperation between these stakeholders is key to the successful implementation of the framework that mitigates the graduate employment problems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
