“…For example, the growth of an industry is expected to stimulate demand for every job in the industry (Campbell, 1997;Willems, 1998).

The tourism sector is expected to continue experiencing a significant increase in tourist arrivals. Meanwhile, the labour requirement especially in the tourism sub-sector has been anticipated to increase. However, the Covid-19 outbreak has interrupted the number of tourist arrivals to Malaysia. Tourism sector’s receipt and the labour requirement will also be affected. The objective of this study is to forecast the labour requirements in the tourism sector in Malaysia. This study provides an initial overview of the labour requirements including during the Covid-19 outbreak which occurred in 2020. The method used in this study was the Input-Output method. The labour requirements were projected for three years, i.e. 2017, 2019 and 2020. Projections were also made based on a 25 percent decrease in Chinese tourist spending in Malaysia. The results showed that the labour requirements in 2017, 2019 and 2020 increased by 2.6 million people, 2.8 million people and 3.0 million people, respectively. However, when there was a decline in Chinese tourist spending, the labour requirement was 2.6 million people indicating a drop by -11.40 percent. The entertainment and recreation services were the most affected sectors when the Covid-19 outbreak occurred, at a rateof-66.31 percent. Discussions elaborated on the importance of labour requirements estimation in the tourism industry in response to the Covid-19 outbreak. Implications of the study are also highlighted.

“…Kajian empirik turut menunjukkan tenaga kerja mahir masih lagi kekurangan dan ini menjadi salah satu faktor utama yang menyumbang kepada ketidakcekapan sesebuah firma/organisasi. Ini dibuktikan melalui kajian yang dibuat oleh Abdullah (1997), Ismail dan Nyet Fung (2002), Ismail et al (2015) dan Sulaiman, Ismail dan Saukani (2016). Di samping keperluan terhadap tenaga kerja mahir, keperluan terhadap kemahiran generik (soft skills) dan bakat istimewa turut diutamakan oleh majikan dalam mengambil pekerja (Said 2006).…”

Kajian ini menganalisis hubungan antara kemahiran dengan tahap kecekapan teknik firma dalam sektor perkhidmatan di Malaysia. Kemahiran dikategorikan kepada enam dimensi, iaitu kemahiran berkomunikasi secara efektif; kemahiran berfikir secara kritis dan menyelesaikan masalah; kemahiran bekerja secara berpasukan; kemahiran etika dan moral dalam profesion; kemahiran keusahawanan; dan kemahiran pengurusan. Kajian ini berasaskan 130 buah firma perkhidmatan yang diperoleh daripada kajian lapangan pada 2014. Objektif kajian ialah menganalisis hubungan antara kemahiran dengan tahap kecekapan firma. Kajian ini menggunakan analisis sempadan stokastik (SFA) dalam mengukur tahap kecekapan teknik firma, sementara model persamaan berstruktur (SEM) menggunakan perisian SmartPLS dalam menganalisis hubungan antara kemahiran dan kecekapan. Dapatan menunjukkan tahap kecekapan teknik firma perkhidmatan secara relatifnya adalah rendah. Selanjutnya, hanya kemahiran bekerja secara berpasukan sahaja yang secara positif mempengaruhi tingkat kecekapan firma, manakala kemahiran beretika dan moral dalam profesion dan kemahiran berkomunikasi secara efektif mempengaruhi tahap kecekapan secara negatif dalam sektor yang dikaji.
