The outcomes of work-integrated learning programmes: the role of self-confidence as mediator between interpersonal and self-management skills and motivation to learn
Ibrahim, H. I1, Jaafar, A. H2.
Work-integrated learning (WIL) is regarded as an important vehicle to assist undergraduates’
employability skills, knowledge, and attributes that can add value to their learning, career
aspiration and employability. There is limited research on the outcomes of WIL programmes
in terms of undergraduates’ personal and psychological attributes, and motivation to
learn. This study examines the relationship between self-management and interpersonal
skills, self-confidence, and motivation to learn through a survey of 383 business degree
undergraduates from five Malaysian public universities who have participated in various
WIL programmes. Results show that the students’ motivation to learn is influenced by
their self-management and interpersonal skills and mediated by their self-confidence. This
finding provides a valuable insight into the outcomes of WIL programmes such as personal
and psychological attributes and motivation to learn in order to ensure the effectiveness of
WIL programmes in producing employable and lifelong learning graduates.
