Abstract
In 2011, the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib Tun
Haji Abdul Razak claimed that the Ministry of Education (MOE) needs to increase the
number of international students studying in Malaysia by 2025. The enrolling number
of international student is coordinated with Key Performance Index (KPI) of
internationalisation of Malaysian Higher Education. This situation would increase job
opportunities for those who are with PhD qualifications and attract more expatriate
academics into Malaysia higher education institutions as to fulfil the needs of the
international students and to put Malaysia in the world map as higher education hub.
In the effort of increasing the number of international students, higher education
institutions in Malaysia has drawn their attention to identify on how to better
accommodate and retain expatriate academics. These efforts are resulted depending on
how well the expatriate academics adjusted themselves into Malaysian academia.
Adjustment difficulties among expatriate academics could affect their job performance
and these may affect their decision to remain at or leave the institution.
