Abstract

This article paper is aimed to review the literature about retaining ASEAN migrant labor after the Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19) which appeared in retaining migrant labor research and academic papers. After reviewing the literature, a development conceptual model will be applied in collecting data on enterprises that hire ASEAN migrant labor (from  Myanmar Cambodia and Laos) in Thailand. The result of the literature reviewed shows the research conceptual model in retaining ASEAN migrant labor comprised of recruitment and selection labor, training in teamwork skills, maintaining occupational health and safety, improving the quality of work life for labor, managing payment and welfare programs and motivating morale and encouragement at work. These six factors were expected to correlate with job satisfaction and retention probability of labor in enterprises. Lastly, this research conceptual model will be arranged for research methodology design and collection of data in the next steps.
