Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 3

Abstract

This study presents hypothesis testing to examine the factors influencing undergraduate logistics student‘s perceptions on logistics study abroad programme. The objective of this study is to examine the perceptions of logistics students on logistics study abroad programme in term of pricing, quality, administrative easiness and third party influence. Multiple regression analysis was employed to explore the relationship between pricing, quality, administrative easiness, third party influence and student‘s perceptions on logistics study abroad programme. The results revealed that pricing, quality and third party influence have significant relationship with logistics study abroad programme perceptions (p < 0.05) while administrative easiness has no significant relationship with logistics study abroad programme perceptions (p=0.347). The findings which enhance our understanding of student‘s perceptions of pricing, quality, administrative easiness and third party influence on logistics study abroad programme in the context of a Malaysia private higher education institution have implications for several parties which include education institution as well as the stakeholders on the effort to re-shape institutional policy and implement suitable strategies, particularly stress on pricing aid, quality promotion and enhance third party influence, to make logistics study abroad programme accessible to more students.
