In conclusion, the engagement of youth in the homestay program is based on the factors discovered in the study

Job Satisfaction Survey: A Confirmatory Factorial Analysis Based on Vocational Colleges Teachers Sample

This study was carried out to verify the measurement model of the construct of job satisfaction among technical teachers in Technical Vocational College Ministry of Education. A study involving 493 samples from 25 vocational colleges and comprising technical teachers in electrical and electronics engineering, civil engineering and mechanical engineering. The Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) approach with AMOS 20 software has been applied in this study. The original item was the adaptation of the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) questionnaire developed by Spector (1997), there were 32 items, after exploratory factor analysis was carried out 32 original items had decreased to 22 items, sub construct was also changed from 8 sub constructs to 4 sub construct only. To ensure that the job satisfaction measurement model can be verified, three factors have been evaluated, unidimensional, validity and reliability. After 10 items were dropped out, the data were re-analysed and the findings showed that all 22 items in the measurement model had factor loading meet the required level, all AVE values also meet the required level. While fitness indexes for Absolute Fit, Incremental Fit and Parsimonious Fit all meet the requirements set for all CR values ≥ 0.6. Overall, it can be concluded that after the measurement model was modified by dropping 3 items with factor loading <0.6 then the model was fit to be used for structural model analysis process

Occupational Competency Profile for Workers in Mechanical Industry Towards Sustainable Development

The encouragement of technology application in environmental protection is one of the major challenges faced by most industries. Human activities that harm the environment must be tackled wisely so that all efforts in maintaining a safe environment can be continued. This situation leads us to the need for preparing individuals with adequate skills and knowledge related to green skills before entering the industry. This research is conducted to identify the occupational competency profile for mechanical industry towards sustainable development. The Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) was utilized in this research. The FDM is a structured investigation process aimed at reaching a consensus among a group of experts on a particular topic. Five experts were involved in the first phase and eleven experts were involved in the validation process in the second phase. The lowest items score based on the expert’s consensus were rejected. Three items were rejected because of the score less than 75 per cent. The final competency profile consisting of Skill, Knowledge, and Attitude domains with 14 sub domains was constructed. The current scenario shows that people entering the industrial world lack relevant skills to work on sustainable development. These workers are classified as low-skilled workers, which means they need to be trained before entering the labor market. This study can support the development of training towards sustainability for future workers in the mechanical industry towards sustainability. Therefore, specific training related to their professional skills, especially green skills, needs to be carried out to improve their skills
