Abstract

This paper investigates employee perception of Human Resource Development intervention to promote awareness towards community engagement. A survey was conducted among 150 members from various units and department in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia to get their reaction, insight and views towards public commitment. Increasing social complexity and growing responsibility to society makes training human resources essential in creating and sharing knowledge that can benefit and of value not only to the common members but also the general public. This study highlights some issues for future recommendation to foster community engagement level among the university members in order to promote positive social change.
