CIRI-CIRI KEUSAHAWANAN DALAM KALANGAN BANDUAN PAROL: KE ARAH PENYEDIAAN MODUL KEMAHIRAN PENGURUSAN KEUSAHAWANAN DI JABATAN PENJARA MALAYSIA.

In preference to preparing an effective carrier module which aims to enable the prisoners on parole to develop a long-standing carrier and a self-governing life predominantly their financial, this article aims to measure the entrepreneurship characteristics owned by the parolee in Malaysia. To arrive at prudent findings, a quantitative method using cross-sectional survey is employed. In total, 280 parolees from all over Malaysia who are undergoing a Parole Surveillance Program under the Malaysia Prison Department have been recruited. Finding suggest, majority of the parolees (64.6 %) hold a medium to high level (34.6 %) of positive entrepreneurship characteristics. Merely, 0.7 % fell into the zero level entrepreneurship groups where all the parolees in this group do not own any entrepreneurship characteristics. Conclusively, a new-fangled positive implication proposed by this study is the need of Malaysia Prison Department to develop an entrepreneurship skill management module focused primarily on strengthening talent and carrier skills with the intention of preparing the parolees to assimilate well in the community after them being released.
