ABSTRAKIndustri skel besar (ISB) berperanan penting dalam pembangunan indusrti di Malaysia. Ia menyumbang lebih kurang 60 peratus terhadap gunatenaga dan 70 peratus masing-masingnya bagi nilai ditambah dan aset tetao. Industri ini juga menyediakan saluran pemasaran kepada industri kecil dan sederhana yang seterusnya mewujudkan rantaian bagi keseluruhan sektor industri. Selain itu, ISB juga menyediakan asas bagi kemasukan pelaburan langsung asing yang seterusnya menggalakkan pemindahan teknologi. Memandangkan pentingnya industri saiz ini dalam pembangunan, maka amat penting bagi kita mengenalpasti dan memahami sumber pertumbuhan produktiviti dalam industri berkenaan. Kertas ini bertujuan menganalisis sumber pertumbuhan produktiviti buruh dalam industri bersaiz besar di Malaysia. Tiga sumber pertumbuhan yang dikenalpasti dalam kertas ini iaitu nisbah modal-buruh, kuantiti buruh dan kecekapan. Analisis dalam kertas ini menggunakan data tinjauan tahunan industri pembuatan untuk tempoh 1982 hingga 1994 yang dikumpulkan oleh Jabatan Perangkaan Malaysia.ABSTRACTLarge-scale industries (LSIs) paly an important role in the Malaysian industrial development. LSIs' contribution to employment is about 60 perecnt and 70 percent to value added and fixed assets respectively. LSIs also provide a broad marketing channel to small and medium industries (SMIs) which subsequently spur linkages within the industrial sector. Apart from this, LSIs also serve as a platform for foreign direct investment (FDI) that could potentially lead to technology transfer. Since LSIs play an important role in development, it is crucial to identify and understand the sources of labour productivity growth in the LSIs in Malaysia. Three sources of growt identified in this paper are capital labour ratio, quantity of labour and efficiency. The analyses in this paper are based on the Manufacturing Industrial Survey data of 1982 to 19994 collected by the Department of Statistics Malaysia.
