TVET is an area that encompasses education, training and skills related to various branches of work, services, production and lifelong learning (UNESCO, 2015). This systematic literature review aims to identify the factors of lack of participation in TVET for students in education in Malaysia. The methodology of this study is based on the concept of PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) as a survey method using major databases such as Web of Science, ERIC and Scopus. A thorough search of the electronic database revealed 19 studies on TVET involvement in Malaysia published between 2015 and 2022 based on predefined criteria and keywords. A review of these articles shows that there are four aspects of motivation studied by freelance researchers in several countries. Some future recommendations for Scholars are given at the end of the study.
