| Summary: | This paper is based on a research study to assess the development of the human resources
based on the application of information technology in the industrial sector in Malaysia.This is a field study on the form of a survey research using a random sample of organizations representing the industrial
and government sectors in Malaysia.A total
of 1000 firms was selected in which questionnaires were sent, and 120 usable returns were received representing a 12% response.The distribution as the sample suggests a high concentration within the ICT industry and high-technology industry in the
central and northern regions of Malaysia. Results of the study showed a moderate number of employees using IT were present in the organizations with more than half of the sample reported having employees with IT skills.There is also a low degree of technology and IT adoption among the sample with only half invested in technology and/or IT.This can be seen as a motivating factor towards encouraging more organizations to adopt IT and changing the way employees perform their business activities moving towards achieving the long-term competitiveness in the knowledge economy. |
