However, there are limited studies on workplace discrimination focusing in Malaysia‟s manufacturing industries. Therefore, this research aims to narrow down the literature gap by analyzing the relationship between factors consist of age discrimination, gender discrimination, race discrimination and workplace discrimination in the context of Malaysia‟s manufacturing industries. The literature review is assisting the research in exploring the relevant literature to the topic. Quantitative research method and descriptive correlation design are applied in this study. Questionnaires were distributed online using non-probability convenient sampling method to complete the data collection. The collected data were analyzed using various tools and tests to ensure the reliability and validity of this research.
