ABSTRACT
As international migrant
workers, they should equip themselves with appropriate knowledge and skills to
compete with other overseas workers in the global job market. This means that
international migrant workers need to improve their quality and ability. In
addition, it also requires a high work and motivation to produce a satisfactory
performance. Capabilities like cognitive, affective, and psychomotor abilities
are needed to support performance. Information related to three abilities also
motivation is important from international migrant workers from the island of
Madura to be analyzed. Based on the results of qualitative research using
interview technique and observation on three informants who had worked abroad
as nursing, baby sitter, and housekeeper whose data validity of interview
result is measured using triangulation method,
it shows different ability in working on his job (though
having the same motivation) resulted different performance. Low performance due
to lack of ability in cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects resulted in
workers who could not compete with other workers. The evidence came from the
lack of contract extension for low-performing workers. It is therefore
recommended for prospective international migrant workers to equip themselves
with sufficient capacity through trainings undertaken by government training
center (Balai Latihan Kerja/BLK).
