Abstract

The intervention program is a special program that was carried out prior to the students embarked their internship program. At the end of their internship, the questionnaires were given to their respective companies' employers to rate the interns’ performance. The evaluation of the performance is based on seven attributes and twenty nine sub-attributes. Likert scales are employed in extracting the level of satisfactions (ratings) of the respective employers’ towards the interns. As human preferences are rather fuzzy and uncertain in nature, the fuzzy set based analysis model is seen as an appropriate model to be used in handling and investigating human preferences. Thus, for this purpose, a hierarchical fuzzy conjoint analysis model is proposed and employed in analyzing the employers’ preference levels on the interns’ performance with respect to the employability attributes. The findings show that the employers were “satisfied‟ with the interns’ performance with a degree of satisfaction 0.804.
