Abstract

The goal of this research is to assess the impacts of lifelong learning skills and job performance among students of Masters of Business Administration (MBA).Four lifelong learning skills were included in this study: managerial skill, self-esteem, interpersonal skills, hard skills, and soft skills. Since there are high rates of unemployment among graduates nowadays, it is important to know the skills provided to the students and their correlation for student’s employability in the future. This study employed 101 MBA students from the East regent of Malaysia as the sample. Feedbacks from students were gathered through a set of questionnaires, and the data were analyzed through SPSS 23.0. The results indicated that self-esteem and interpersonal skills had the most significant effect towards job performance, among other factors. Meanwhile, managerial skills had the weakest effect towards job performance.
