Although the traditional-aged college student may still be the most visible on campus, adult students are
becoming the new majority in the student body. The adult student may fulfill many different roles and is now
taking on the additional role of a student. Many of these adults also have the responsibility of children and
jobs. The purpose of this study was to explore the motivating factors that lead Pahang workers to pursue
higher education. This research was conducted using 60 students of E-PJJ Pahang Campus and the data
were collected using a survey instrument that measures the extent to which various factors influenced one's
motivation to pursue higher education. Analysis of the data revealed that overall the most important factor
rated was "to career enhancement".
