"It has been widely accepted that an internal audit is a simple administrative function that\r\ninvolves reviewing documents, calculating assets, and reporting to the Board of Directors,\r\nManagement, or External Auditors. Due to a lack of personnel and management support, as\r\nwell as inadequate training and development, Malaysia suffers from significant Internal\r\nAudit deficiencies. Yet there hasn't been an in-depth examination of the above concerns with\r\na focus on the fundamental causes of successful internal auditing, notably in commercial\r\nbanks. Therefore, the current study examines the impacts of internal audits on the financial\r\nperformance of commercial banks in Malaysia. In this regard, a descriptive research approach\r\nwill be employed to address the research questions. (Absrract by author)"^^ . "2022" . . . "Open University Malaysia"^^ . . .

"The development of technology in transportation industry especially rail transportation\r\nis an alternative solution to Malaysia Transportation Issues. The initiative of the\r\ngovernment to develop Mega Project such as Electrics Train Service (ETS) in the year\r\n2015, consisting the railway from Kuala Lumpur to Padang Besar, Perlis and it helps\r\nto reduce the amount of traffic on road and lessen the time spent to travel from these\r\ntwo places. This project includes the building up of two unique Train Tunnels and\r\ncategories as Twin Tunnel that are 3.3kilometre length in Bukit Berapit and\r\n1.1kilometre length in Bukit Larut, Perak. The Twin Railway Tunnel in Bukit Berapit,\r\nPerak is the longest in Malaysia ever built. The development of this twin train tracks is\r\nbrought by the local engineering expertise with the advisory by international expert.\r\nOne of the important components of its development is to ensure the main build up\r\nstandards and life safety in this twin railway tunnel project is given priority. Based on\r\nthe statistics by Bureau of Transportation in United States, accident that involved in\r\nTrain Tunnels are 11 accidents and resulting 343 death and 81 injuries with multiples\r\nfactor most of it caused by electrical failure and results to fires. Based on the statistics,\r\n2 most important safety element in developing Bukit Berapit Twin Railway Tunnel are\r\nlife safety and properties of the building. The safety elements need to be considered are\r\nfire protection system and the fire retardant material. The preliminary concept of this\r\nproject is using the combination of Italian Standards and NFPA 130, since there are no\r\nlocal standards to be referred. This research focused on the best standard practises from\r\nother countries for the purpose to evaluate the effectiveness of fire protection system\r\nused in Bukit Berapit Railway Tunnel. Therefore, a few researches on standard’s, site\r\nvisits, survey and interviews the expert had been conducted. Based on the research\r\nfindings, there are 10 parameters identified and it will be suggested as a benchmark on\r\nmaking standards in building up Railway Tunnel in Malaysia in the future. Fires is a\r\ngreat danger to human life especially when occurs in a confined space. Railway tunnel\r\nfires is uncommonly occurred, and railway tunnels typically require large investments\r\nin providing fire protection. It is necessity to understand the reasons for the first\r\nconsideration in developing railway tunnel in such of fire safety. As this railway tunnel\r\nis the first project in Malaysia and has no local standard, much attention needs to be\r\ngiven to fire prevention, such as stability, integrity, and structural assessment during\r\nfire and fire extinguishing system reactions. Two factors will be focused mainly on:\r\npassive fire protection system and active fire extinguishing system to study the\r\neffectiveness of fire safety concept for Bukit Berapit tunnel.

"Parental modelling has become an essential reference for children to form desirable\r\nbehaviours as children grow up. Therefore, parents must model appropriate actions for\r\ntheir children to observe. This quantitative study examined the relationship between\r\nparents’ awareness of their role as a model of technology usage and children’s\r\nengagement in online learning. Other variables explored concerning the main variables\r\nincluded parents’ perception of technology usage, parents’ technology usage, and\r\nchildren’s technology usage. The respondents in the study comprised 385 Malaysian\r\nparents and their four to six-year-old children. Data collected via a virtual platform or\r\nface-to-face interaction included parents from all the states in Malaysia. The findings\r\nindicated that parents’ awareness of their role as a model of technology usage was not\r\nrelated to their children’s engagement in online learning. Instead, it showed that\r\nparents’ perception of technology usage was positively related to their children’s\r\ntechnology usage, and children’s technology usage was positively related to their online\r\nlearning engagement. Therefore, the findings imply that parents need to equip\r\nthemselves with the proper perception of technology usage, as their perception may\r\naffect their children’s technology usage and engagement in online learning.

"The rubber moulding manufacturing businesses are facing problems to fulfil the\r\ncustomer requirements and stay competitive with the global players in terms of cost,\r\nquality and services. Some of the notable rubber moulding industries are unable to meet\r\nthe customer requirements in the aspect of delivery time and demand. One of the\r\nreasons why most of the rubber moulding manufacturing companies are still unable to\r\nimplement lean manufacturing systems due to a lack of knowledge and information.\r\nThe drive for yearly cost savings from automotive customers has driven suppliers to\r\nresearch ways to improve production efficiency and raise production. Companies are\r\ncontinuously searching for new instruments to optimise manufacturing processes,\r\nwhich provide considerable increases in productivity, savings and customer\r\nsatisfaction. This study aims to reduce waste and increase the productivity of the rubber\r\nmoulding manufacturing process by using the Lean principles, which can help identify\r\nwaste from information flow, material flow, and process flow. In this study, lean\r\nprinciples with the support of the Ishikawa Diagram were able to find the highest\r\ncessation process that contributed to non-value-added activities in rubber production.\r\nFinishing processes, which have the highest process steps selected for improvement\r\nstudy. The study shows that productivity increased by implementing the cellular\r\nmanufacturing principles. A complete process step can be reduced from 22.5 hours to\r\n0.5 hours in the Finishing process.

"As college students are being in a period of transitioning from teenage years to\r\nadulthood, they typically will experience multiple levels of psychological distress, and\r\nthese stressors influence their studies. This research presents to investigate the\r\nrelationship between psychological distress and academic adjustment in technical\r\ncollege students in Kuching, Sarawak. This research used a quantitative approach with a\r\ncross-sectional survey. The instruments in this study applied Counseling Center\r\nAssessment of Psychological Symptoms-34 (CCAPS-34) for psychological distress\r\ndomains and Academic Adjustment Scale (AAS) for academic adjustment domains. The\r\nstudents were given a web link to the survey questionnaire. The respondents in this\r\nresearch are 303 students of semester three; consist of 146 male students and 157 female\r\nstudents. Overall, there is a significant correlation between psychological distress and\r\nacademic adjustment, and there is a significant difference between psychological\r\ndistress and gender. Female students had a significantly higher mean score of\r\npsychological domains than males, although psychological distress such as general\r\nanxiety and hostility occurred in the same manner. Besides, psychological distress\r\ndomains have affected students’ academic adjustment in their college years as the\r\nsignificant (2-tailed) values showed a statistically significant correlation between these\r\nvariables. For these reasons, both null hypotheses are rejected. With this, psychological\r\ndistress is unexceptional towards tertiary education learners and has a negative impact\r\non an individual and their educational setting. In order to improve learners’ academic\r\nperformance, it is crucial to have more focus on the psychological wellbeing of college\r\nstudents."^^ . "2021" . . .

In summary, disciplinary offences are offences related to moral and sexual.\r\nThe provisions of laws relating to these offences can be found in the The State Syariah\r\nCriminal Offences Act/ Enactment. The findings indicate that The Enforcement and\r\nProsecution Divisions needs to be improved so that the enforcement of syariah criminal\r\nlaw can be empowered. Various parties should work hand-in-hand in order to standardise\r\nthe law of these disciplinary offences so that they can be enforced and implemented in a\r\nmore orderly manner. Moreover, the existing laws need to be amended from time to time\r\nto ensure that they are in line with local current needs and fulfilling the Islamic law\r\nrequirements.

Hence, this leads to the generation of\r\nthe main objective of this study to examine the supplier selection criteria and evaluation\r\ntowards the food industry sector, from 3 different dimensions, including economic,\r\nenvironmental, and social dimensions. The research methodology was developed to\r\nanswer the research question in this study via 4 phases, which include problem\r\nidentification, literature review, framework development, and validation and\r\nverification. Through an identified rating scale, the performance of the supplier was\r\ndetermined by the respondents via the scores they provided. From the data analysis\r\nshown, the suppliers are expected to fulfil the criteria of the rating score which is\r\nexpected achie At the end of the\r\nresearch, the researcher can conclude that economic sustainability, social sustainability,\r\nand environmental sustainability were very important sustainability- based factors that\r\nneed to be given attention to when engaged in the process of choosing suppliers.

"This research is aimed to develop time-based guidelines that can help to preserve the\r\noptical health of the visual inspectors at SanDisk Storage Malaysia (a WD company).\r\nThe research objectives is to identify the time patterns where defect escapees occur, to\r\nanalyse relationship between time and visual acuity and also to develop time based\r\nguidelines for Visual Inspection operators. The method employed to analyse this is by\r\nanalysing a set of data retrieved from the system called Defect Escapee data. This data is\r\nbased on the number of drives inspected by first inspection station called VMI (Visual\r\nManual Inspection)3 but then detected as reject in the second inspection station; FQA\r\n(Final Quality Assurance). Data analysis shows that there is a pattern between the time\r\nthat had lapsed in continuous visual inspection task and the occurrences of escapee from\r\nVMI3 to FQA station. To confirm these findings two sets of controlled experiment was\r\nconducted on which the visual inspectors were given 15 minutes break after every 1 hour\r\nof inspection before they resume their visual inspection task. Another set, is where after\r\nevery 1.5 hours of visual inspection task, the visual inspectors were asked to swap duties\r\nwith mechanical assembly or manual related tasks before they return to their visual\r\ninspection tasks after 1.5 hours. In conclusion, there is a correlation between continuous\r\ninspection and defect detecting accuracy. The accuracy is inversely proportionate to time.\r\nThe longer the time spent in continuous visual inspection, the lesser the visual inspection\r\naccuracy. This study is beneficial for organizations having visual inspection as part of\r\ntheir process.

"Branding helps to broaden reach, gain recognition, connect people and supports to advance the mission of an organisation. Although branding is important, many Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) are unable to focus on branding and to evaluate their brand, often due to limited expertise, facilities and financial capacity. This research paper studies the Brand Equity of NGOs by evaluating Public Perceptions towards NGOs in Malaysia. The research has engaged three variables from Aaker’s Brand Equity Theory namely Brand Awareness, Brand Loyalty and Brand Association. The research case study sample was GOPIO (Global Organisations of People of Indian Origin), a diaspora-networking organisation in Malaysia. The research conducted a quantitative survey on the Malaysian Indian Community, namely members, associates and friends of GOPIO in Malaysia. The research found that Brand Awareness, Brand Loyalty, Brand Association and Brand Trust are all positively related, and confirmed that Brand Loyalty and Brand Association have a strong relationship. The research also found the level of trust in GOPIO to be very high. The research concluded that Brand Awareness, Brand Loyalty and Brand Associations together, do not qualify as the best predictors for Brand Trust, while Brand Association emerged as the best predictor for Brand Trust. The research rejected Brand Awareness as a predictor for Brand Trust as most of the respondents were well aware of GOPIO. The findings of this research shall benefit organisations and researchers, particularly involving Brand Equity, NGO branding and Malaysian Indian NGOs."^^ . "2021" . . .

"Terdapat banyak ayat tentang akad di dalam al-Quran, salah satu darinya berupa\r\nperintah dari Allah kepada orang-orang beriman agar sentiasa memenuhi akad yang\r\ndibuat, iaitu dalam surah al-Maidah ayat yang pertama. Kebanyakan orang Islam hari ini\r\nmemahami akad berupa ikatan ijab dan qabul dan dalam ruang-lingkup kekeluargaan\r\ndan muamalat harta sahaja. Namun para mufassirin memahami akad dengan\r\nmerangkumi ikatan dengan Allah dan ikatan sesama manusia, tidak tertakluk dengan\r\nikatan dua pihak sahaja iaitu ijab dan qabul, sebaliknya merangkumi juga ikatan atau\r\nkomitmen sepihak. Maka kajian ini menganalisa akad menurut al-Quran berdasarkan\r\nkefahaman ahli-ahli tafsir, bertujuan mendapat kepastian tentang konsep kesyumulan\r\nakad dalam Islam dari sudut pandangan al-Quranul Karim. Bahan analisa ialah\r\npemikiran Hamka tentang akad di dalam tafsirnya al-Azhar sebagai bahan utama, di\r\nsamping pandangan-pandangan mufassir yang lain sebagai sokongan dan\r\nperbandingan. Metode kajian ialah kualitatif, dengan rekabentuk analisis konten\r\n(kandungan). Pengumpulan data membabitkan dua elemen iaitu kajian perpustakaan dan\r\ntemubual. Penganalisaan data pula menggunakan kaedah analisis deskripsi dan\r\nkesimpulan dibuat mengggunakan kaedah induktif. Hasil kajian mendapati ciri-ciri\r\nkesyumulan akad benar-benar terserlah dalam pemikiran Hamka ketika beliau\r\nmentafsirkan beberapa ayat berkaitan akad di dalam al-Quran. Teori-teori tentang akad\r\nyang dianalisa dari pemikiran Hamka merangkumi maksud akad, ruang-lingkup akad,\r\nkategori-kategori akad dan prinsip-prinsip yang mendasari akad. Semuanya\r\nmenzahirkan natijah menyokong konsep kesyumulan akad di dalam Islam dilihat dari\r\nperpektif al-Quranul Karim."^^ . "2020" . . . "Open University Malaysia"^^ . . .

The qualitative objectives of the study were (1) to ascertain how low self-esteem\r\nof illegal racers significantly influence their attitude and behavioural intention to engage in\r\nillegal motorcycle street racing behaviour and (2) to ascertain the most significant impactful\r\nfactors on attitude and behavioural intention of the illegal racers to engage in illegal\r\nmotorcycle street racing behaviour. The Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) and its new\r\nextended constructs developed in this study and mixed methods of quantitative (n=261) and\r\nqualitative data (n=15) were used to measure the three original TPB constructs of attitude,\r\nsubjective norm and perceived behaviour control of the illegal motorcycle street racers under\r\nstudy. The interpretation of the hypothesized Ha effect paths shows that out of five Ha\r\nhypothesis tested, three (H3, H4 and H5) were accepted with two (H1 and H2) rejected. The\r\nWilayah Iskandar case revealed that the strongest predictor of on attitude and behavioural\r\nintention to engage in illegal racing among the illegal racers was the subject norm peer risk\r\ntaking. These findings are supported by the qualitative data which revealed that ‘focus on\r\npeers’ to be the most significant impactful drive in influencing illegal racers’ intention to\r\nrace. The results also show that illegal motorcycle street racers’ intentional behaviour\r\nappears to be affected by attitude (mental outlook and emotion) and perceived behaviour\r\ncontrol (resources, past experience and rewards). These findings were supported by the\r\nqualitative data from the Deviant Theory of Social Learning dimensions of Differential\r\nAssociation, Imitation, Differential Reinforcement and Definitions collected through the\r\nface-to-face interviews with the illegal racers. However, the analysis found that demographic\r\nfactors and low self-esteem did not have positive effect on illegal racers’ attitude and\r\nsubjective norm to influence their intention to engage in illegal motorcycle street racing. But\r\nthere is positive effect between demographic factors and low self-esteem on illegals racers’\r\nperceived behaviour control in influencing their behavioural intention to engage in illegal\r\nracing behaviour. By identifying factors that influenced the intention of illegal racers in\r\nWilayah Iskandar to engage in illegal motorcycle street racing, this research may inform\r\nfuture strategies to minimise if not overcome the pressing problems of illegal street racing\r\nmenace.

The prevailing culture however is an invisible but strong force and the concern is that a mismatch between what is encouraged in the classroom and what is expected outside the classroom will not only prevent successful educational change but will produce a dissonance that can cause distress to students leading to increased mental health risks. Can a mismatch in cultural orientation between the adolescent and society cause an increase in emotional distress among the adolescents? Can emotion suppression which is an emotion regulation strategy that is valued in a collectivistic society be detrimental to our adolescents? This study is quantitative in nature and uses adolescent students as sample to find out whether emotion suppression is linked to an increase in distressing emotions and whether the consequences of emotion suppression is linked to the cultural orientation of the students. Students who mainly use emotion suppression experience significantly more depressive symptoms than students who mainly use cognitive reappraisal and this finding is significant among the collectivistic students.

"Inclusive education is the way forward for special education needs students in the 21st\r\ncentury and children with autism spectrum disorder are among the most difficult of\r\nspecial education students to handle. In order for inclusive education to be successful for\r\nthis group of students, parent-teacher collaboration and cooperation is essential. It is\r\ntherefore most important for teachers and parents to understand each other. The objective\r\nof this study is to explore parents’ experiences in obtaining a diagnosis, caregiving and\r\neducating their ASD children as well as their future aspirations for them. This is to\r\nenhance mainstream as well as special needs educators’ understanding of parents who\r\noften face a psychological loss termed ambiguous loss which can result in family crisis\r\nwhen their child is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The intended study\r\nis a qualitative study and will be done through face to face interviews; asking parents\r\ncaring for their ASD children open questions on the four areas in order to obtain rich and\r\nthick data. The data obtained will be transcribed and analysed via phenomenological\r\nanalysis in order to provide the unique perspectives of Malaysian parents in these four\r\nareas. [Abstract by author]"^^ .

"The teaching of nursing process is inclusive of formulation of nursing diagnosis. Accurate formulation of nursing diagnosis is crucial to guide the nursing care for patients. Despite its importance, good formulation of nursing diagnosis is still deficientcompetency among nurses. The aim of this study was to examine the differential effects of video assisted lecture (VAL) and didactic lecture (DL) on accurate formulation of nursing diagnosis for medical and surgical scenarios among nursing students. Subsequent to this, students’ satisfaction, self-confidence and simulation design were also investigated. This experimental study employed After-Only design. Nursing students were randomly assigned to two groups either video assisted lecture group (n= 33) ordidactic lecturegroup (n= 33). The research tools used in this study were D-Catch Guide for Diagnoses and National League Nursing questionnaire. Analyses were conducted using Mann-WhitneyU test, Wilcoxon Paired Signed-Rankstest and independent t test. The mean scores differences for accuracy of nursing diagnosis were higher for Post Test 1 and Post Test 2 with VAL for both medical and surgical scenarios compared to DLscores. However, there were no significant differencesin accuracy of nursing diagnosis between VAL and DL for the Post Test 1 (p= .182) and Post Test 2 (p= .090) for medical scenario and Post Test 2 for surgical scenario,(p = .131). In addition,there was a significant difference in accuracy of nursing diagnosis between VAL and DLfor the Post Test 1 (p= .001) for surgical scenario. The Wilcoxon Paired Signed-Ranks test withinVAL for the accuracy of nursing diagnosis in medical scenario showed no significant difference (p=.102). But, there was a significant difference withinVAL for accuracy of nursing diagnosis in surgicalscenario(p= .001). In addition,the Wilcoxon Paired Signed-Ranks test withinDL for the accuracy of nursing diagnosis inmedical scenario showed no significant difference (p=.014). However, there was asignificant difference withinDL for accuracy of nursing diagnosis in surgical scenario(p=.001). Overall, the VAL revealed higher mean scores than DL for satisfaction, self-confidence and simulation design. But, there were no significant differences in satisfaction (p= .180), self-confidence (p= .586) and simulation design (p= .519) between VAL and DL. In conclusion,both the VAL and DL are apparently effective for teaching the subject on nursing diagnosis. The satisfaction, self-confidence and simulation design from both the teaching methods were the same for the nursing students. Thus,it implies that simulation such as video canbe embedded with teaching for nursingdiagnosis. (Abstract by Author)"^^ . "2019" . . . . "Open University Malaysia"^^ . . .

"The present study investigated the effect of graphic organizers and instructional scaffolding on argumentative writing performance among TESL undergraduates. The study employed a quasi-experimental research using the pre-test and post-test design involving 90 TESL undergraduates being placed equally in three different groups underwent lessons on argumentative essay writing using different delivery modes, \r\nmodes comprising of four stages of learning for a duration of four weeks. During the intervention period, three small groups of TESL undergraduates from the GOIS and GONI delivery modes were video-recorded to investigate on how they communicate in their groups. After the intervention, a semi-structured interview was carried out. A total of 9 students (GOIS, n=3; GONI, n=3; NGNI, n=3) were interviewed and the interviews were audio-recorded. The one-way ANCOVA was used to analyse the argumentative writing performance among the TESL undergraduates. The percentages were used to compare the overall percentages of Comm between the GOIS and GONI delivery modes while the qualitative data from the semi-structured interview of the three delivery modes were analysed using the constant comparative approach. Results showed that the group which underwent the GOIS delivery mode performed significantly better in the overall argumentative essay writing performance (p<.05) compared to their counterparts in the GONI and NGNI delivery modes. Additionally, in terms of the overall frequency of conjunctions and overall frequency of argumentative elements, the results indicated that both the GOIS and GONI groups performed significantly better (p<.05) than the NGNI group. In terms of overall percentages of , the GONI group outperformed the GOIS group. The findings from the semi-structured interview revealed that the GOIS group experienced learning better compared to the GONI and NGNI groups. The research confirmed that the GOIS and GONI delivery modes are effective in enhancing argumentative writing performance among TESL undergraduates. In line with this, the research ends with a recommendation for educators to adopt these delivery modes in t argumentative writing skills are enhanced. \r\n (Abstract by Author)"^^ . "2019" . . . . .

"Causal Effects of Triz Engineering Design Knowledge on Engineering Design Creativity Among the Undergraduate Engineering Students "^^ . "Malaysia is heading towards innovative economy that emphasizes creativity and innovation. Engineers are required to be more creative and innovative to be globally competitive. As such, engineering education is instilling creativity and innovative skills among undergraduate engineering students through engineering design using the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ). TRIZ has been taught in engineering courses in several higher institutions in Malaysia. However, there is insufficient empirical study on the causal effects of TRIZ engineering design knowledge on the actual improvement of engineering design creativity among undergraduate engineering students in Malaysia. The theoretical framework of the present study consists of one exogenous construct (TRIZ engineering design knowledge), two mediating constructs (engineering design self-efficacy and intrinsic motivation), one moderating construct (instructor support) and one endogenous construct (engineering design creativity). Survey was carried out on 302 undergraduate engineering students in three local institutions who have received TRIZ training. The data were analysed through a process of multivariate analysis namely Structural Equations Modeling (SEM) using Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) software version 21. The result showed that TRIZ engineering design knowledge, engineering design self-efficacy and intrinsic motivation have significant positive effect on engineering design creativity. Engineering design self-efficacy has significant positive effect on intrinsic motivation. Both engineering design self-efficacy and intrinsic motivation partially mediated the relationship between TRIZ engineering design knowledge and engineering design creativity. The instructor support does not act as the moderator between TRIZ engineering design knowledge and engineering design creativity. The findings contribute significantly to the teaching of TRIZ in engineering education. (Abstract by Author)"^^ . "2019" . . . . . "Open University Malaysia"^^ . . .

"Team-Based Learning (TBL) is a student-centred learning approach that is effective to\r\nimprove students’ learning outcomes, knowledge, and higher-order thinking skills by pro-\r\nmoting active learning in teams, which are strongly required for business education. There is evidence of improved student learning with TBL, but research on the strategies to im-\r\nprove business student learning with the implementation of TBL and descriptions on how does TBL affect learning outcomes among business students are still ambiguous. There-\r\nfore, this study was designed to gain knowledge and understanding of the implementation\r\nof TBL in business education in a private university in Sarawak. The purpose of this design-based research is to design and develop a TBL learning environment for business students in higher education and evaluate the approach to examine the students’ percep-\r\ntion towards TBL and teamwork. Specifically, this study determined the instructional needs of the business students and examined the elements and strategies to improve the TBL activities for business students based on their instructional needs. Finally, the TBL approach was evaluated to determine the students’ perception towards TBL and whether\r\nTBL could improve learning outcomes. This study is divided into three phases that are derived from the KEMP’s Model. The three phases are the needs analysis phase, the de-\r\nsign and development phase, and the implementation and evaluation phases. Mixed meth-\r\nods were used for data collection among thirty business students and two instructors from a private university in Sarawak. The data collected from the interviews in the needs analysis phase intended to investigate the current instructional issues faced by six\r\nbusiness students and two instructors. The findings from the needs analysis and data\r\ncollected from the semi-structured interviews and an online survey during the design and\r\ndevelopment phase provided an overview of the elements and strategies needed for the design of the TBL environment from both students and instructors’ perspectives. Finally,\r\ndata was collected from thirty students during pre and post-implementation surveys using\r\nthe Evaluation of Team-Based Learning Questionnaire during the evaluation phase. The results of this study found that the current instructional issues faced by the business stu-\r\ndents are lack of interactivity, lack of learning skills, insufficient practical exposure, and\r\npersonal efforts issues. The findings also indicate that TBL activities can be improved\r\nbased on the four phases of TBL, namely Pre-Class Preparation, Individual Readiness Assurance Process (I-RAP) Test, Team Readiness Assurance Process (T-RAP) Test, and\r\nApplication Exercises. There was no significant difference (p>0.05) found in the students’\r\nperception towards TBL and teamwork after the implementation of the learning approach.\r\nThere was also no significant relationship (p>0.05) between the students’ perception to-\r\nwards TBL and their learning outcomes. However, the students’ perception towards TBL and teamwork were good. This would indicate that the business students positively per-\r\nceived TBL, and their test scores seemed to have improved with the implementation of\r\nTBL. Further studies could be conducted to determine whether TBL was effective for\r\ndifferent courses in business education as well as in other subject areas. (Abstract by Author)"^^ . "2019" . . . .

"Researchers and practitioners often pay less attention to service recovery research\r\ncompared to service quality or customer satisfaction particularly in the context of open\r\nand distance learning (ODL) in Malaysia. More importantly, the antecedents and\r\noutcomes of service recovery satisfaction are often given less emphasis by the ODL\r\ninstitutions in their efforts to gain advantages in the current higher education\r\nenvironment. Based on past literature, four dimensions of justice were used to develop\r\na theoretical understanding of the antecedents of service recovery satisfaction and its\r\noutcomes. This study investigated the relationships between justice dimensions\r\n(distributive, procedural, interpersonal, and informational), university image, service\r\nrecovery satisfaction, and customer future outcomes (trust, word of mouth, repurchase\r\nintention and loyalty). Data were collected through a survey of 303 OUM students in\r\nKlang Valley, Malaysia who experienced service failure and service recovery. This\r\nstudy proposed and tested a framework via Partial Least Square Structural Equation\r\nModeling (PLS-SEM). The results reveal a significant relationship between justice\r\ndimensions and service recovery satisfaction in terms of procedural and interpersonal\r\njustice. Service recovery satisfaction had a significant effect on all customer outcomes\r\nunderstudy. The inclusion of the university image as moderators were found out does\r\nnot moderate the relationship between justice dimensions and service recovery\r\nsatisfaction, implying that the university image does not have a significant interaction\r\neffect on this relationship. Therefore, the result of the study will help the managers and\r\nprofessionals to better understand how the antecedents and outcomes of service\r\nrecovery satisfaction are important for the organisation, and how to deal with the\r\ncustomers in service failure situations to maximise the organisation profit. These results\r\nhave important implications for marketing theory and business practicality. (Abstract by Author)"^^ . "2019" . . . . "Open University Malaysia"^^ . . .

"The emergence of the spa industry had created job and economic opportunities formation,\r\nspecifically for the tourism industry to lead as discussed in the 2012 Global Spa and\r\nWellness Summit in Bali. The spa industry has contributed more than $106 billion in the\r\nwellness tourism globally, and had generated more revenue than any other sector in the\r\ntourism industry. In Malaysia, the spa industry has increased to over 200% since 2002\r\nand has the potential to continously grow. Under the Malaysian Economic\r\nTransformation Program (ETP), the spa industry is earmarked as one of the twelve\r\ninitiatives budgeted for tourism development. However, the industry is not without its\r\nproblems. Besides competition from other tourism sectors and also from neighbouring\r\ncountries, the spa industry in Malaysia needs to address issues which include the shortage\r\nof therapist expertise and providing excellent service. It was reported that the “lack of\r\ntalent” in the spa industry is caused by high staff turnover when compared with the other\r\nservices in the tourism industry. Only a few studies were conducted on the matter through\r\nits contribution to the industry, while holistically, the human capital development is\r\nequally important in supporting the tourism industry in Malaysia. This study explores\r\nfactors that consists of job satisfaction, job related and communication competencies and\r\nagreeableness among spa therapists which may influence their intention to stay. The\r\nresearch methodology for this study explained the research design that includes sampling,\r\nquestionnaire design, data collection procedures, proposed research framework, and\r\ntechniques of data analysis. The sample technique chosen for this study is\r\ndisproportionate stratified random sampling method. A self-administered methodology\r\napproach were deployed to collect data of the respondents comprised of spa therapists\r\nwho work with registered hotels and resort spas in Malaysia. A small scale data collected\r\nduring the pilot test of this study has been analysed for the validity and reliability test.\r\nThe results of the study revealed that only communication competency has a significant\r\npositive direct relationship with intention to stay. In contrast, job related competency and\r\nagreeableness have insignificant direct relationship. However, job satisfaction mediated\r\nthe relationship between job related competency, communication competency and\r\nagreeableness and intention to stay among spa therapists in Malaysia. In future, this study\r\ncan be carry out by considering other type of position in spa industry, to strike a balance.\r\nLongitudinal studies also been proposed in order to have a better understanding of\r\nbehaviour of spa therapist over a long period of time. Other suggestion, future study can\r\ninvestigate the possible use of other motivational factors as a moderating variable.\r\nSimilarly, this study suggests future study to investigate the possible use of other\r\npersonality factors such as conscientiousness, neuroticism, openness to experience, and\r\nextraversion as well with other competencies variables as the independent variables.

"Evaluation of an Alternative Education Programme for Undocumented Children in Sabah: a Case Study "^^ . "This study is an evaluative case study of the Alternative Education Programme (AEP) offered by an Alternative Learning Centre (ALC) in Sabah, Malaysia. Adopting a qualitative research approach based on the CIPP Model of Evaluation by Stufflebeam (1983), seven research questions were formulated to determine the context, input, implementation, and outcomes of the programme from the perspectives and narratives of the stakeholders in this ALC - the target group (community and parents), implementors (Head Teacher and teachers), and students (current and past). The semi-structured interviews with individuals and focus groups were analysed by way of the matrix method. This, together with findings from analysis of documents and class observations, generated insight into the context i.e. role and significance of the AEP and the ALC in the community and the level of support, importance and expectation placed upon the education provided. Findings on the input aspect pointed towards a lack of resources both physical (facilities and trained teachers) and financial (upkeep of ALC dependent on donations and sporadic funding). In terms of process, although there was congruency between the planning and implementation, several emergent issues were identified which \r\nALC education were demonstrated through increased cognitive and affective skills, with these acquired knowledge utilised to secure jobs as teacher assistants, retail assistants, and in small private enterprises. The findings of the study raise implications on the depth and value of the education provided in the ALC in general. Among these are the need for (i) validation of the teaching and learning in the form of a more tangible or defined curriculum, (ii) alignment of learning content to those offered in government schools, (iii) extension of schooling beyond Year 6, (iv) trained and qualified teaching personnel, (v) involvement of stakeholders (corporations, government bodies and agencies) to alleviate funding challenges, and (vi) the eventual integration or inclusion of ALC learning as a form of acceptable pathway for further education and better job opportunities (Abstract by Author)"^^ .

"The higher education system in Malaysia has recently demonstrated rapid growth along with the rapid technological development, changing nature of business process, and the growth of new leadership in the education sector. The function of mood, motivation, and creativity (MMC) in the institutions of higher education (IHE) has initiated the need to strategize to enhance the effectiveness of leadership for improved organisational performance and productivity. The lack of effective leadership at IHE levels is evident, which potentially affects the employees’ organisational performance. In addressing the phenomenon, this quantitative study comprehensively assessed the authentic leadership style (ALS) and mood, motivation, and creativity (MMC) in the Malaysian higher education institutions using the questionnaire survey approach. This study utilised structural equation modelling using partial least squares (PLS-SEM), which revealed significant and positive relationships between ALS and MMC. Thus, this study concluded that the use of ALS improves the overall performance of the employees in the Malaysian IHE towards achieving the status of a developed country. (Abstract by Author)"^^ .

"Determinants of Green Practices Adoption Behaviours Amongst Airline Passengers in Malaysia"^^ . "Previous studies on green practices in airline industry have been devoted to observing\r\nefforts to reduce cost, drivers influencing environmental commitment and passenger\r\nperceptions of the green image associated with airlines. Scant research exists on\r\naddressing airline passenger’s attitude and behaviour towards green practices adoption.\r\nTherefore, passenger’s attitude towards green practices adoption and the relationship to\r\ngreen practices adoption behaviour is worthy for empirical studies. Furthermore,\r\nTheory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) has yet been employed to investigate green\r\npractices adoption in airline industry. TPB was thus employed as a theoretical\r\nunderpinning in this study and was modified by adding two independent constructs of\r\nperceived consumer effectiveness and perceived sacrifice. This study attempts to\r\ninvestigate the influence of TPB components on voluntary green practices adoption\r\namongst airline passengers in Malaysia. Furthermore, this study aims to investigate the\r\ndistinct contribution of perceived consumer effectiveness and perceived sacrifice on\r\ngreen practices adoption behaviour. Subsequently, a model will be proposed to explain\r\ngreen practices adoption behaviour. This study employed intercept survey to collect\r\ndata. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed to respondents who have\r\ntravelled by air and have flown from or to Kuala Lumpur International Airport or Kuala\r\nLumpur International Airport 2 in the past 12 months. A total sample size of 400 was\r\ndetermined by employing convenience sampling. 400 questionnaires had been\r\ndistributed and 379 were deemed usable. Results obtained from data screening\r\nindicated that missing data, outlier and normality were not substantial problems for the\r\ncollected data. Besides, validity, reliability and unidimensionality had been established\r\nfor this study. Results of hypotheses testing indicated that two hypotheses were not\r\nsupported. Perceived behavioural control and perceived consumer effectiveness were\r\nfound not to influence green practices adoption behaviour. Findings of this study are\r\nexpected to enable effective and efficient implementation of green practices. Successful\r\nimplementation of green practices subsequently helps airline companies, government\r\nand policymakers to reduce wastes, costs and minimize negative impacts to the\r\nenvironment.

Everyone has the right to access clean drinking water for their basic needs. However, in 2013, WHO and UNICEF reported that a total of 1.3 billion people did not have access to safe water. Malaysian government has embarked on water sector reformation effort and constitutional amendment to make the water utility industry sector more efficient as well as to improve the customer orientation of service provision. Although the supply of treated water has achieved a relatively high standard, unfortunately, the Non-Revenue Water (NRW) rate is currently at 35 percent which is considered as a major inefficiency in water industry that must be addressed. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine the factors influencing the employee work performance in water utility industry. This study will explore the factor of organisational commitment, transformational leadership, job characteristics among employees of water utility industry which may influence the employee work performance with the mediating effect of employee engagement. Studies have examined the relationship between these factors but there is no clear and comprehensive answer especially in relation to work performance in the water utility industry. A self-administered approach is deployed to collect data from 455 respondents comprising of the executive and non-executive employees of Pengurusan Air Selangor Berhad. The findings revealed that factors of organisation commitment and transformational leadership had no significant relationship, while job characteristics was confirmed to have a significant relationship with employee work performance in water utility industry in the state of Selangor. The findings also revealed that all other three indirect hypotheses used in this study were supported. These provide evidences on the role played by employee engagement as a mediator variable between organisation commitment, transformational leadership and job characteristics with work performance among the employees of water utility industry. Future study should consider conducting longitudinal and qualitative studies to re-examine the dynamic nature of the effects of organisational commitment, transformational leadership, job characteristics and employee engagement on employee work performance to provide further insights regarding the probable outcome. This approach will also enable future researchers to get deeper insights and understanding of the problem setting. (Abstract by Author)"^^ . "2019" . . . . "Open University Malaysia"^^ . . .

"In Malaysia, prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) has increased almost a two-fold from\r\n11.6% in 2006 to 22.6% in 2013 and among them only 20 % achieved treatment target\r\nof HbA1c <6.5%) while healthy periodontal tissues in all age groups decreased from\r\n9.8% in 2000 to 3.2% in 2010 with increasing severe complicated periodontal disease\r\n(PD)cases. Medical-dental coordinated care is recommended under the light of bidirectional\r\nrelationship between DM and PD and effect of periodontal treatment (PT) on\r\nglycemic control of DM patients. However, PD assessment and taking treatment for it\r\nhave been still overlooked by both DM patients themselves and medical professionals.\r\nBesides, evidences on effectiveness of medical-dental coordinated care to DM patients\r\nwith periodontitis from public primary care clinics (PPCCs) and administrative issues to\r\nimplement it have been still limited. This clinical management intervention study aimed\r\nto evaluate the effectiveness of medical-dental coordinated care to DM patients with\r\nperiodontitis including constraints to implement it. Screening PD among DM patient at\r\ndiabetic clinics of 3 PPCCs, referring DM patients with periodontitis to PD specialists’\r\nclinics, providing standard-DM care and periodontal treatment (PT), sharing glycemic\r\ncontrol and PD-status information, tracing defaulters and encouraging for regular DM\r\nfollow-up and taking PT completely by the medical team and PD specialists were\r\nincluded in the medical-dental coordinated care. Out of 239 DM patients who were\r\nscreened PD by basic periodontal examination (BPE), 52% (123/239) had periodontitis.\r\nOut of 123 DM patients with periodontitis, 44 % (54/123) agreed to seek PT and\r\nreferred them to two PD specialists’ clinics. However, 71% (38/54) took PT and 27%\r\n(16/54) declined to PT appointment offered by PD specialists’ clinics. Out of 38\r\npatients, 97.4%(37/38) patients adhered to DM care while only 44.7% (17/38) patients\r\ncompleted PT because of having inconvenience to take PT. Achievement of target\r\nglycemic control HbA1c ≤ 6.5% of the cases who completed PT was significantly\r\nhighest comparing with that of the positive controls who did not complete PT and the\r\nnegative controls who did not take PT (47.1% vs 15.8% vs 15.2%). Clinical resolution\r\nof periodontitis in PPD significantly reduced after taking PT -probing periodontal depth\r\n3.34 mm (before) vs 2.63 mm (after). Number needed to treat (95%CI) and\r\nstandardized mean difference of taking PT on achieving glycemic control target in HbA1c were 4.9 (1.3-19.1), and -0.52 respectively. Thus, the medical-dental coordinated care should be provided to DM patients with periodontitis to assist in\r\nreducing of DM patients who did not achieve their HbA1c target. A further study should\r\nbe conducted to explore the inconveniences of the patients to seek PT. (Abstract by Author)"^^ . "2018-03" . . . . . "Open University Malaysia"^^ . . .

"Transformasi dalam pentaksiran yang berlaku membuka ruang perbincangan yang\r\nluas dari segi pengetahuan, kesediaan dan amalan guru sebagai pelaksana.\r\nPentaksiran Berasaskan Sekolah (PBS) merupakan perubahan dalam penilaian\r\npendidikan. Oleh itu, kajian ini menyumbang dapatan hubungan antara tahap\r\npengetahuan, kesediaan dan amalan Pentaksiran Berasaskan Sekolah (PBS)\r\nberdasarkan demografi terpilih dalam kalangan guru Pendidikan Jasmani sekolah\r\nrendah. Kajian kuantitatif berbentuk tinjauan ini menggunakan soal selidik yang telah\r\ndiadaptasi daripada instrumen asal iaitu aspek pengetahuan, kesediaan dan amalan\r\nguru sebagai pemboleh ubah bersandar. Responden kajian dipilih secara persampelan\r\nkluster daripada senarai nama sekolah rendah. Soal selidik yang diserahkan mendapati\r\nkadar pulangan sebanyak 81.3% iaitu seramai 358 orang guru Pendidikan Jasmani\r\ndaripada 77 buah sekolah rendah di daerah Kota Bharu. Pengetahuan, kesediaan dan\r\namalan menunjukkan min yang tinggi dalam melaksanakan PBS di sekolah.\r\nHubungan pengetahuan dengan opsyen, pengalaman mengajar adalah tidak signifikan,\r\nbegitu juga kesediaan dan amalan dengan jantina, taraf akademik, kursus dan lokasi\r\nsekolah. Hubungan yang kuat antara pengetahuan, kesediaan dengan amalan\r\nmenjelaskan bahawa kesan kursus yang dihadiri dan taraf akademik juga memberi\r\nsumbangan kepada amalan PBS di sekolah-sekolah. Ujian-t menunjukkan tiada\r\nperbezaan signifikan antara pengetahuan, kesediaan dan amalan dengan jantina dan\r\nyang mengikuti kursus. Hasil ujian ANOVA sehala mendapati tiada perbezaan\r\nsignifikan antara pengetahuan dan amalan dengan taraf akademik, pengalaman\r\nmengajar dan lokasi sekolah tetapi kesediaan guru menunjukkan terdapat perbezaan\r\nsignifikan dengan taraf akademik dan yang mengikuti kursus. Oleh itu, keseluruhan\r\ndapatan kajian menjelaskan tentang kepentingan pengetahuan, kesediaan dan amalan\r\ndalam meningkatkan pengoperasian guru melaksanakan PBS masa kini.

"The Mediating Effects of Motivation and Job Satisfaction Between Organisational Citizenship Behaviour and Organisational Climate of Primary School Teachers in Kuala Terengganu"^^ . "In view of the deteriorating performance demonstrated by 80% of Malaysian schools, quality\r\nissues in school systems has taken the centre stage of discussion by policy-makers and\r\nadministrators on how best to uplift Malaysia’s performance in TIMSS and PISA from the\r\nbottom three to the top three of participating countries by the year 2025 (Malaysian Educational\r\nBlueprint, 2013-2025). Despite Malaysia is having many excellent teachers, a 2011 research\r\ndiscovered that only 50% of lessons were conducted in an effective manner (AKEPT, 2011).\r\nThis may be attributed to not only pedagogical factors but also psychological factors (such as\r\nmotivation, satisfaction, and organisational citizenship behaviour) are having influence on the\r\nattitudes and behaviours of teachers. Thus, it is imperative to investigate teachers’ organisational\r\ncitizenship behaviours, job satisfaction and motivation as these factors have strong implications\r\non their teaching performance as it will consequently affect the students’ academic achievements\r\nand in the long run affect the school organisational climate. Hence, this study examined the\r\nmediating effects of motivation and job satisfaction between teacher organisational citizenship\r\nbehaviour and organisational climate as well as the determinants of effective organisational\r\nclimate using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis via AMOS and SPSS. The\r\ncomputations yielded multiple variable relationships which depict the role of mediating variables\r\nwithin a logical path analysis framework. A survey research design was used to conduct a study\r\non a sample of 500 teachers selected from public primary schools in Kuala Terengganu.\r\nQuantitative data were collected by using survey questionnaire. The results of the study indicated\r\nthat teacher job satisfaction was the main predictor of their school organisational climate with\r\nsubstantial contributions from teacher perceived organisational citizenship behaviour, age and\r\ntenure. It was also found that teacher job satisfaction and motivation mediated the relationship\r\nbetween teacher organisational citizenship behaviour and school organisational climate. Thus, it\r\nis hoped that the findings of this study will add to the field of knowledge on the determinants of\r\norganisational climate. (Abstract by Author)"^^ . "2018" . . . .

"Science is a key factor for a country’s development. Students need to acquire 21st century skills and develop competencies to compete globally. Unfortunately, evidence had shown that Malaysian 15-year-old students performed poorly in science in international comparative studies. This study was undertaken to investigate the factors influencing science achievement among Form 2 or 14-year-old students from four states and two Wilayah Persekutuan in Malaysia. The objective was to examine the relationships between student factors, teacher factors and classroom instructions with students’ science achievement. This study employed a cross-sectional survey research design to answer the research questions and address the research objectives. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) techniques were used to develop models to assess various research questions. Stratified random sampling technique was used to obtain the samples from 846 secondary schools. A total of 2,867 valid responses out of 2,869 was achieved, yielding a final response rate of 99.93%. The results concluded that various student-level factors, teacher-level factors and classroom instruction influenced students’ science achievement. The results confirmed that 46% of the variance in students’ science achievement was contributed by differences across teacher-level variables. The results also confirmed that 54% of the variance in students’ science achievement was contributed by differences across student-level variables. The results confirmed that there were three teachers’ classroom instructional factors which contributed to the variance in students’ science achievement, i.e. (i) effective and engaged science instruction together with teacher quality (49.98%); (ii) inquiry-based science instruction (7.59%); (iii) integration of ICT into teaching and learning (5.20%). The results confirmed that there was a significant relationship between students’ IQ and their science achievement. The results also confirmed that higher-order thinking skills alone did not have a significant relationship with students’ science achievement. However, when higher order thinking skills, attitude towards science and students’ IQ were analyzed together, these variables jointly contributed 54% of the variance in students’ science achievement. In addition, the results confirmed that ICT-related variable, i.e. (i) students’ internet broadband access at home, mediated the relationship between frequency of students using their computers at home for science learning and their science achievement. However, another ICT related variable, i.e. (ii) frequency the science teachers used the computer laboratories to teach science, did not mediate the relationship between frequency of students using their computers at home for science learning and their science achievement. The best structural model has achieved adequate goodness of fit (Chi-square=1017.720 (df-102); GFI .929; CFI .965; RMSEA .079). (Abstract by Author)"^^ . "2018" . . . . .

"Semiconductors are made of a solid crystalline material, usually silicone, formed into a simple\r\ndiode or many integrated circuits. Semiconductor industries, which consumes large amounts of\r\nchemical and energy and large volumes of water, falls under the high hazard installation category\r\nin Singapore. Sustainability index computation and eventually benchmarking has not been\r\nstudied for any privately listed companies in Singapore and in particular not studied for\r\nsemiconductor manufacturing plants in Singapore. The objective of the study will be to\r\ndetermine the broad based parameters on sustainability indicators, determine the relationship\r\nbetween various parameters of sustainability, develop weightage factor for each parameters and\r\ndevelop a working model that will compute sustainability indices for semiconductor\r\nmanufacturing environment in Singapore. Survey questionnaire was used and analysis of survey\r\nwas done using known tools such as SPSS. Analytical hierarchy Process was used for computing\r\nweightage for the various parameters of sustainability. Based on the various models on\r\nsustainability, the proposed model involves four major constructs namely, management,\r\nemployee wellbeing, resources and compliance. In the model chosen for this study,\r\nSustainability index (SI) is a function of organization’s wellbeing, (W), Resources (R),\r\nCompliance (C), and possession of a management system (M). Being a versatile decision\r\nmaking tool, Analytical hierarchy process (AHP) model was used to determine the weightage for\r\neach functional element. A simplified formula was computed for this study, which is\r\nSI = (0.375*Wellbeing+ 0.25*Compliance+ 0.25*Resource+ 0.125*Management)/5. SI for the\r\ntwo companies were deduced from the survey and substituting these values in the equation for\r\nSI, SI for company A was computed as 80% and for company B it was computed as 85%. This\r\nmeant SI for company B was better than that of company A and that company B is less riskier\r\nthan company A A working model thus was formed for sustainability indexing for\r\nsemiconductor manufacturing plants in Singapore, which can be extended to other manufacturing\r\nplants in Singapore and region. Further the study can be improved by incorporating other\r\nparameters such as economics. (Abstract by Author)"^^ . "2018" . . . . . "Open University Malaysia"^^ . . .

"The effectiveness of an e-learning environment mainly encompasses on how efficiently the tutor presents the\r\nlearning content to the candidate based on their learning capability. It is therefore inevitable for the teaching\r\ncommunity to understand the learning style of their students and to cater for the needs of their students. One\r\nsuch system that can cater to the needs of the students is the Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS). To overcome\r\nthe challenges faced by the teachers and to cater to the needs of their students, e-learning experts in recent times\r\nhave focused in Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS). There is sufficient literature that suggested that meaningful,\r\nconstructive and adaptive feedback is the essential feature of ITSs, and it is such feedback that helps students\r\nachieve strong learning gains. At the same time, in an ITS, it is the student model that plays a main role in\r\nplanning the training path, supplying feedback information to the pedagogical module of the system. Added to\r\nit, the student model is the preliminary component, which stores the information to the specific individual\r\nlearner. In this study, Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) was administered to capture the student ability with\r\nrespect to three levels of difficulty, namely, low, medium and high in Physics domain to train the neural\r\nnetwork. Further, neural network and psychometric analysis were used for understanding the student\r\ncharacteristic and determining the student’s classification with respect to their ability. Thus, this study focused\r\non developing a student model by using the Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQ) for integrating it with an ITS\r\nby applying the neural network and psychometric analysis. The findings of this research showed that even\r\nthough the linear regression between real test scores and that of the Final exam scores were marginally weak\r\n(37%), still the success of the student classification to the extent of 80 percent (79.8%) makes this student model\r\na good fit for clustering students in groups according to their common characteristics. This finding is in line\r\nwith that of the findings discussed in the literature review of this study. Further, the outcome of this research is\r\nmost likely to generate a new dimension for cluster based student modelling approaches for an online learning\r\nenvironment that uses aptitude tests (MCQ’s) for learners using ITS. The use of psychometric analysis and\r\nneural network for student classification makes this study unique towards the development of a new student\r\nmodel for ITS in supporting online learning. Therefore, the student model developed in this study seems to be\r\na good model fit for all those who wish to infuse aptitude test based student modelling approach in an ITS\r\nsystem for an online learning environment.

"Examination of Urwin’s Framework in Information Technology Project Management Practices"^^ . "Information Technology (IT) projects are organizational investments that require\r\ntime, money, and other resources such as people and technology. In order to\r\nensure the success of these projects, organizations are adopting project\r\nmanagement approaches and setting up project management offices. In spite of\r\nthis, projects still ended in partial or total failure. Despite the availability of\r\nframeworks in IT project management organizations still practice informal and ad\r\nhoc development in their project management causing additional costs and\r\nproject delays or even failures. This study was done to examine the practice of\r\nInformation Technology Project Management (ITPM) in organizations. The\r\nobjectives of the study was first to review the existing frameworks in ITPM and\r\nthen to propose a framework that is appropriate and that could be easily adopted\r\nby organizations. The study found that although there are many frameworks that\r\ncan be adopted these existing frameworks are heavy in documentation and to\r\nadopt them required skilled or certified project managers which are not within the\r\nmeans of small and medium size organizations. Based on the review, the study\r\nhad proposed Urwin’s framework as the most appropriate and practical project\r\nmanagement approach for this study. This is because Urwin had created his\r\nframework of 12 themes after a long and intense study of information systems,\r\ninformation technology and project management literature. The 12 themes are\r\nstrategy, leadership, scope, participation and commitment, project planning,\r\nproject team, communication, risk management, training and resources, test\r\nmanagement, organization structure and data. Urwin’s framework seemed most\r\nappropriate and practical because no certification is required and it can be\r\nimplemented throughout the project life cycle. Also Urwin had showed how to\r\nimplement each theme by providing a checklist under each theme. To examine\r\nUrwin’s framework interviews were conducted in two large organizations with two\r\nproject managers of 15 and 17 years of experience each. Also a survey was\r\nconducted in 104 organizations. The respondents are project managers, IT\r\nexecutives, senior level employees and middle level employees with range of\r\nexperience between two to 15 years. The results showed that all the 12 themes\r\nare well implemented in the two large organizations. Results of the survey\r\nshowed that only three out of the 12 themes are well implemented. Findings\r\nfrom the study suggest that all 12 themes from Urwin’s framework must be well\r\nimplemented to effectively managed ITPM. The study also put forth four\r\nrecommendations to be practiced together with Urwin’s framework. They are\r\nexecutive focus and commitment; effective staffing; learning incrementally from\r\nexperience; and baseline management. (Abstract by Author)"^^ . "2018" . . . . .

"The effect of Total Productive Management practices on manufacturing performance through SECS/GEM Standard for electronic contract manufacturing companies (TOC, Abstract, chapter 1 and Reference only)"^^ . "In an environment of intense global competition, it pays to consider both creative and\r\nproven systems that can be used to bring about effective and efficient manufacturing\r\noperation. Many electronic contract manufacturing companies have put forth huge\r\namounts of effort and resources to achieve precise and reliable measurement of\r\nequipment performance. The objective of a concise measurement is to optimise this piece\r\nof asset for every dollar invested. However, it has failed on numerous attempts to achieve\r\nthe desirable result due to hardware limitations, low degrees of data accuracy and the\r\nneed for manual intervention. Integrating Total Productive Maintenance (TPM)\r\nmethodology with SEMI Equipment Communication Standard (SECS) with Generic\r\nEquipment Model (GEM) enables data acquisition in a concise manner and keeps track of\r\nall real-time transactions that have taken place between the operator and the equipment.\r\nTo achieve this integration process, a fast-track TPM implementation approach is\r\nrequired by re-engineering the TPM implementation process. The Re-Engineered TPM\r\napproach comprises of three TPM pillars (Asset Productivity (AP), Autonomous\r\nMaintenance (AM) and Planned Maintenance (PM)) instead of the original eight pillars.\r\nApart from three TPM pillars, also included are SECS/GEM standard, direct and indirect\r\nlabour utilisation hours, material and overhead cost. The main objective of this study is to\r\ndetermine whether the re-engineering effort, based on these three TPM pillars,\r\nSECS/GEM standard together with labour and cost, are able to minimise losses in\r\nproduction process and have positive impact on Output (Manufacturing Performance).\r\nThe study also aims at evaluating whether the SECS/GEM standard integration with\r\nAutonomous Maintenance has the capability of real-time monitoring equipment\r\nperformance on the production floor. Furthermore, the study aims to assess the impact on\r\nproductivity, namely, the Output (Manufacturing Performance).\r\nThe three years, monthly data for the study was collected from ten Electronic Contract\r\nManufacturing (ECM) companies in Johor, Malaysia. The data was analysed through\r\ndescriptive statistics, regression analysis and panel data analysis. Based on the panel data\r\nanalysis, the Hausman Test revealed that the Fixed Effects model was found to be the\r\noptimal model for this study. The result shows that six independent variables were\r\nsignificant, while one independent variable was not. The insignificant independent\r\nvariable was SECS/GEM standard integration with Autonomous Maintenance. Further\r\nanalysis was conducted through a qualitative study. The additional analysis shows that\r\nECM companies do not fully understand the possible application of the SECS/GEM\r\nstandard integration with Autonomous Maintenance in their manufacturing environment.\r\nTherefore, minimum effort was deployed by ECM companies in incorporating this\r\nstandard into their equipment maintenance platform. However, these days many ECM companies have started to purchase equipment with SECS/GEM standard in order to\r\nfacilitate smoother future integration with Autonomous Maintenance or with other TPM\r\npillars. This total integration of TPM (three pillars), SECS/GEM standard, labour and\r\ncost provides an avenue to monitor and address the operational losses in the production\r\nequipment in a timely manner. This system paves the way to improving Output\r\n(Manufacturing Performance)."^^ . "2015" . . . . "Open University Malaysia Business School (OUMBS)"^^ . . .

"Relationship of individual and organizational factors and employee performance : moderating effects of psychological empowerment in the ceramic tile industry (Abstract and Table of content only) \r\n"^^ . "The Malaysia ceramic tile industry is facing many challenges which include competition from cheap imported tiles from China, increasing costs to procure raw materials as well as the continual increases in natural gas prices, hence causing the production costs to be very high which will have an impact on the industry’s survival. Therefore, one way to boost productivity in order to reduce the labour costs is to have a team of high performing employees. For this reason, this research was initiated to study the factors that could optimize individual employee performance in this industry. Factors that had an influence on employees’ performance in this research were divided into two categories, the first being the independent variables or organisational factors consisting of rewards, procedural justice, organizational culture and psychological empowerment and the second category were the individual factors or demographic factors consisting of employees’ academic background and their tenure at their organizations. Psychological empowerment was also studied to see if it could moderate the relationship between rewards, employees’ academic background and their tenure at their organizations, and employee performance. Based on the factors above, 10 research hypotheses were developed to study their relationships with employee performance. The respondents, totalling 600 employees, were from the supervisory level as they play a significant role in the success or failure of any organization. Questionnaires were given to all respondents and the response rate was 39 %. The completed questionnaires were analysed using SPSS version 20. The results obtained showed that all the independent variables and demographic factors influenced individual employee performance. However, when all the variables were combined together, rewards and employees’ academic background were unable to influence employee performance. The study also found that psychological empowerment did not moderate the relationship between employees’ tenure and their performance. The theoretical implication of this study was that expectancy and goal setting theories were observed by the respondents. The practical implication to employers is that the respondents highlighted the importance of feeling psychologically empowered in order to perform well on their job. The limitation of this study was that it only looked at the supervisory level in the ceramic tile manufacturing sector. Therefore, future research could consider different levels of management and different industries to determine whether if there is any similarity with the results from this study. Besides, this research considered psychological empowerment as a variable and did not study the impact of the four cognitions separately. [ABSTRACT BY AUTHOR]\r\n\r\n"^^ . "2015" . . . .

"Non-familiarity and not being well versed with project management knowledge areas and processes, the use of project management tools and techniques, standardizations, consistency and optimization of the project management processes implementation which lead to unnecessary schedule delays, cost overruns, poor quality, overlooked risks and scope creep are among the host of issues associated with Project Management over the project life cycle. Each housing construction company strives to achieve the most efficient and effective project management processes to achieve project success and each manages project management processes differently. This study investigates the importance placed by the respective stakeholders of the construction companies in managing project management processes in housing constructions projects based on the nine project management knowledge areas and ten elements of the “project implementation profile”. Data was collected through the questionnaires where the questionnaire used the Likert Scale to evaluate the data. Due to insufficient data, interviews with relevant personnel were conducted. Based on the questionnaires and interviews, there seem to be initiatives taken by the Company in attaining project success in constructions projects. The study finds that the stakeholders and Companies are practicing Project management processes in their construction projects. It is proposed that construction companies implement, standardize, institutionalize and optimize project management processes and usage in order to avoid financial losses, cost overruns, legal disputes and other problems to increase the probability of project success.

That is partly because smartphone comes packed with built-in\r\nsensors have grown and become popular over the years. This will explore the interactive and interaction\r\nLocation Based Services that AR allows on Android devices. The use of mobile applications and\r\nadvancement in mobile technology such as Global Positioning System (GPS), compass and accelerometer\r\nsensors are able to identify and determine the location and orientation of the device, location-based\r\napplications with augmented reality views are possible. AR combines the real world with virtual, the\r\nintegration of information in the user's environment in real time, the user interaction techniques of\r\nrepresenting rich, intuitive information data of the real world. The AR application which typically takes\r\nthe image of the integrated camera, positioning location as a representation of the real world and project\r\nobjects on top of this image to create the AR view. The research was initiated by exploring and reviewing\r\nliterature related domain and existing AR application available on Android devices. There are a number\r\nof AR applications available and the rapid development of Android smartphone devices has provided an\r\nimproved platform for the application of mobile AR technologies. Developing application will help the\r\nresearcher explore the topic while going through this technology. The aim of this study is to develop a\r\ncombination of location-based information and AR features by blending both visual, map-based and nonmap\r\nbased elements like live projection of a nearby landmark on camera preview on mobile devices,\r\nutilizing free and open source software development tools. In the context of this paper a prototype\r\napplication, based on the Android platform and Mixare engine library is developed. This paper showed\r\nthe initial thoughts on this application and overall process that leads to the final system development. This\r\nreport describes MyARTGuide, a prototype application of augmented reality designed to be run over\r\nAndroid based smartphone. The user can now look through their phone as if taking a picture to look at the\r\naugmented world which leads to a better user experience. MyARTGuide is developed for experiment,\r\nsimulation and to test the AR functionality of these project objectives is not a fully functional product.\r\nThus, there are still more areas that can be improved and new features can be added.

"The psychological well-being for State Registered Nurses [SRN] is determined to a large extent by that person’s satisfaction with the individual experience of job satisfaction. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the influence of Growth Need Strength [GNS] between predictor variables consists of individual attribute (self-esteem), job-related variables (job characteristics and career salience), non job-related variables (overall life satisfaction, family satisfaction and work-family conflict) and job satisfaction among 390 of SRN’s at selected General Hospitals. After stratified random sampling, descriptive statistical was used to describe the population in this study and analyses the respondent’s level of job satisfaction. Pearson correlation indicates there is significant relation between study variables except the components of self-esteem and work-family conflict with GNS. Based on six hypotheses, the major findings in this study indicate that for the result of linear regression showed that all predictor variables significantly influence job satisfaction. On hierarchy regression result, GNS does not play moderating roles between individual attribute variable and job satisfaction also job related-variables and job satisfaction. However, GNS moderates the relationship between non job-related variables and job satisfaction. The finding of the study contributes in the specific area of literature, theory and also in research design. The results of this study suggest that the GNS as moderator have played significant important role between predictor variables and job satisfaction. The implication of this study that the policy maker should not instead of merely focusing on individual attribute and job-related variables as the only factors for SRN’s to be concerned about, indeed they also must pay attention to other factors, such as the selected non – job related variables as potential sources of providing a much better conducive working environment and by incorporating policies that can improve job satisfaction.

There are three objectives to this study they are:\r\n• To identify the major differences in green building construction process\r\ncompared to traditional buildings.\r\n• To identify if these differences introduces delays that are not present in\r\ntraditional building construction\r\n• To propose possible methods to overcome the delays introduced by the\r\ndifference in construction process if such delays are present.\r\nThe participants of the study are the personnel of Green Energy Design Studio\r\nSdn Bhd. There are three consultants managing various projects with working\r\nexperience ranging from one to five years. A semi-structured interview was conducted\r\nwith each of the participant individually as part of the data collection process. The\r\ninterview was then transcribed and phenomenological analysis was conducted to\r\nidentify the significant statements that provides insight to addressing the research\r\nobjectives.\r\nFrom the interviews, the participants clarified the green building constructions\r\nprocess and it was found that this process is similar to those of traditional buildings.\r\nHowever, there are new elements introduced to meet the additional requirements for\r\ngreen building certification. These new elements occur in paralles to the existing\r\nprocess and do not present a major stumbling block to the project scheduel.\r\nThe analysis of the data then provided three themes for delay factors. They are\r\ncommercial, knowledge and people. Each of these theme have various factors\r\nassociated with it and each of the factors is explained and discussed in detail. For the\r\nmitigating factors, three themes also emerged from the data. They are commercial,\r\nknowledge and communications.

"Knowledge of teachers' beliefs and practices are important for understanding and improving the overall educational processes. The present study seeks to fill the knowledge gap in this area of research. More specifically, this study investigates several Kota Bharu national primary school English teachers' beliefs and practices regarding the usage of Bahasa Malaysia in their teaching and whether there are differences in beliefs and practices according to their race and gender.\r\n \tMultiple methods were used in the investigation including a survey questionnaire,\r\ninterviews and classroom observations. The questionnaire, observations and interviews were categorized for common themes and the data were analysed using descriptive analyses, a Pearson Correlation Coefficiency test, a scatter plot diagram and t tests. The analyses showed that 95% of the teachers believed and used Bahasa Malaysia in their teaching. However, there were some inconsistencies between their held beliefs and their practices. The findings revealed that not all the beliefs were translated into practices. The study also revealed that this is partly due to the social- cultural background of the teachers. \r\nThe concluding discussion addresses the importance of researching our teachers'\r\nbeliefs and their practices in the context of their social cultural background. It also addresses the need for evaluating the English teachers' proficiency, aptitude and attitude and retraining these teachers according to their levels of proficiency.

"A Digital Library is normally consisting of or made upon a collection of digital objects plus the\r\ninformation and services for storing, accessing and retrieving them. Digital Libraries by nature is\r\na very complex information system. Despite efforts being made to streamline its creation and\r\ncontent population into an out of the box experience, there is still room for automation. For the\r\ncreation of Digital Library or Online Repositories as it also known, the availability of free open\r\nsource software such as EPrints developed at University of Southampton, United Kingdom is\r\nhas simplified the creation process. While the Digital Library software packages such as EPrints\r\nhave made it easier to create and run Digital Libraries, optimization and customization still\r\nneeds to be done in order to achieve an optimally usable solution. One the most time\r\nconsuming tasks involved in setting up a Digital Library is populating these repositories. This can\r\nbe a very manual task that consumes a large amount of time without automation. One the\r\nmost time consuming tasks involved in setting up a the content or collections of Digital Library\r\nis the data entry that provides detailed information on the available resources which is usually\r\nmade up of metadata elements that provide information on the content stored. The Digital\r\nLibrary Content Metadata Generator (COMGEN) developed as a part of this project is designed\r\nto reduce the workload, time consumption and error prone manual data entry that are being\r\ndone the traditional way in populating Digital Libraries. COMGEN is built to demonstrate the\r\nfeasibility of automatic content generation by extracting existing metadata from the source file\r\nand transforming it into a usable format for use with the EPrints Import Tool to automatically\r\nadd new content and populate the Digital Library/Repository.

"Competition has become a driving force for innovation and entrepreneurship.\r\nCompetitive intelligence is a legitimate and necessary activity to increase institution’s\r\nintelligence regardless of what industry it is in. In the academia industry the open distance\r\nlearning (ODL) education has been developing rapidly with national characteristics in different\r\nparts of the world. To remain competitive in the light of challenging economic environment, open\r\ndistance learning (ODL) institution needs to capitalize on information and communication\r\ntechnology as deployment technology. The purpose of this study is to investigate the areas of\r\nintelligence practices (such as awareness, planning, collection, process and analysis) of the\r\nvarious operations and support services units of one of the open distance learning (ODL)\r\ninstitution in Malaysia. Due to privacy reason and to avoid any possible conflict of interest, the\r\nname of the institution could not be disclosed. The researcher aims to identify, discuss and assess\r\nthe relevant parameters to gauge the knowledge sharing culture and competitive needs of the\r\ninstitution. A primary survey was conducted using a semi-structured questionnaire administered\r\nto the senior and middle-level management group of the institution’s various operations and\r\nsupport services units. The findings and implications of the study are discussed. In line with the\r\nexplosion of information technology innovations, this study explored on the provision of digital\r\nlibraries to facilitate the storage, organization and knowledge dissemination of diverse\r\ninformation as a productive way to assist the institution’s competitive business.

"The main objective of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of the Contemporary Literature Programme in Keramat Zone of Selangor. 107 Year Six pupils are involved. Concern Based Adoption Model (CBAM) devised by Hall & Hord, 2001 is used through its instrument in Stages of Concern Questionnaire (SOC).These data are analysed using SPSS version 16. Descriptive statistics that are used include mean, standard deviation and percentage while T Test is used to test the hypotheses of the study. Overall, the research has found out that the extent of Year Six pupils' stages of concern is at SOC2 (Personal).This shows that Year Six pupils want to know more about the Contemporary Literature Programme. They are wondering whether the programme is similar or different to what they have learnt before during English period. The study too explores on the extent of Year Six pupils' stages of concern based on gender and attending English private tuition. It is proved that girls show significant differences compared to boys and are based at SOC2 (Personal). Girls are motivated to learn more on the ramifications of the programme and find out how the programme would affect them in upgrading their English competency and literacy. In attending private English tuition, all stages of concerns from SOC0 SOC6 do not show any significant differences. It means that pupils who attend or not, are not concern with Contemporary Literature Programme. The programme does not influence or affect them in attending or not attending private English tuition.

Mereka terdiri daripada murid lelaki dan \r\nperempuan generasi pertama program j-QAF kohort 2005. Tujuan utama kajian ini \r\nadalah untuk mengetahui tahap pencapaian literasi al-Quran secara keseluruhan \r\ndaripada murid berdasarkan kepada Modul Khatam al-Quran j-QAF. Penyelidikan ini \r\njuga dijalankan untuk mengetahui apakah terdapat perbezaan tahap kebolehan bacaan \r\nal-Quran dikalangan murid berdasarkan jantina, lokasi sekolah dan skor markah \r\nbacaan mereka. Selain itu kajian ini cuba melihat peningkatan prestasi murid yang \r\nberlaku antara enam bulan pertama persekolahan dan enam bulan kedua persekolahan. \r\nData yang dikumpul dianalisis menggunakan SPSS (Statistical Package For Social \r\nScience) versi 17 dan Mcrosoft Exel 2007. Analisis deskriptif digunakan untuk \r\nmemberi tafsiran kepada data dan seterusnya menjawab persoalan kajian. Analisis \r\nmendapati 81% murid telah menguasai bacaan al-quran dan 18.4% murid masih di \r\ndalam sukatan Iqra satu hingga enam. Kemampuan murid dalam penguasaan bacaan \r\nal-Quran berada ditahap yang memuaskan. Kajian ini juga mendapati wujudnya \r\npeningkatan yang positif dalam literasi al-Quran murid antara enam bulan pertama \r\npersekolahan dan enam bulan kedua persekolahan. Walaubagaimanapun, matlamat \r\nutama program ini untuk 100% khatam al-Quran belum tercapai kerana masih \r\nterdapat 0.78% murid yang gagal menghabiskan sukatan khatam al-Quran bersama \r\nguru.

The four dimensions of empowerment, namely meaning, competence,\r\nself determination and impact, are the identified independent variables, with employee\r\nperformance as the dependent variable. Each of the dimensions of empowerment was\r\ntested to determine its relationship with employee performance. Questions on\r\nempowerment were adopted from Spreitzer (1995) 12-item questions on meaning,\r\ncompetence, self determination and impact. The questions on performance were\r\nadapted from Carly Webster’s (2006) empirical study on “An empirical analysis of\r\nthe relationships between the interactive use of performance measurement systems,\r\ncreativity and performance: the intervening role of psychological empowerment”.\r\nThe questionnaires were sent to 107 companies. A total of 89 respondents from 21\r\ncompanies participated in the survey. The participating companies represented a\r\nreturn rate of 19.6% of the invitations sent to 107 companies. Six (6) hypotheses\r\nwere developed and tested using Pearson Correlation and Regression Analysis. The\r\nfindings indicate that employees in the automotive industry find that empowerment\r\nstrongly influences employee performance. There is significant correlation between\r\nthe dimensions of empowerment and employee performance. They feel that when\r\nthey are empowered with autonomy, freedom and opportunities to influence decision\r\nmaking in their jobs or organisation, their performance will improve significantly.\r\nThe implications of these findings are discussed and suggestions for future research\r\nare also identified and proposed.

"The problems in teaching and learning programming techniques prevail all over the world. Learning programming logic without utilizing any visualization material is difficult. One possible solution to overcome this problem is by using program animation. The proposed program animation software used in teaching novices learning introductory programming is JELIOT 3. The aim of this project is to investigate the effectiveness of teaching programming classes for beginners using programming tool JELIOT 3 that incorporate visualization and animation, specifically the outcome of students’ performances before and after using JELIOT 3. The study population is novice students with no significant programming experience. They were drawn from an on campus section of second semester Foundation in Business Information Technology introductory programming course at INTI International College, Subang Jaya. The class size when this study was conducted was only 9 students. The 9 students were divided into two groups at random. The first group (POST-JELIOT) received standard classroom lectures then followed by JELIOT 2. The second group (PRE-JELIOT) received the JELIOT 3 lesson and then the traditional classroom lecture. From the findings, there was a significant difference in performance when comparing between students who are first taught JELIOT 3 in the overall assessments on the two programming tests and on the two array model assessments. The implications then are that a visual teaching and animated illustration to programming is an effective method for teaching programming. Instruction in computer programming must make use of such visualization to develop good mental visualization of programming. (Abstract by author)"^^ . "2011" . . . "Open University Malaysia"^^ . . .

"The case study is on an insurance company, which has a physical presence in 53 countries and commercial and individual customers in more than 170 countries. As a multinational company, managing people and connecting their performance to corporate objectives will always remain a concern and a challenge. A majority of organizations today have some sort of formal appraisal systems which make use of a standardized rating form that is used to evaluate employees’ performance. This research shows the benefit of the ‘balanced scorecard’ (BSC) which measures the employees’ performance based on the Key Performance Indicators (KPI). The KPI is aligned with the company’s value, strategy, mission and goals. In order to develop the performance management system, the KPI, performance indicator, Service Level Agreement and the Project Performance Measurement will be identified. This study is done on the factors influencing performance in general insurance. Performance Management and BSC comprise the goals, feedback, training, appreciation and the employees’ career development. With the usage of ‘SMART’ technique, a more realistic and achievable objectives can be created. The research was done through the analysis of the survey questionnaires that were distributed to the employees and the interview which been conducted with one of the managers. Through the analysis we will be able to identify the factors influencing performance in general insurance. Plus, it identifies whether the BSC is suitable and benefits the employees as a tool to evaluate the PM of the employees. (abstract by author)"^^ . "2011" . . . "Open University Malaysia"^^ . . .

"The industry of developing games and virtual environments have come a long way, but\r\nit is not without its share of problems. In many ways, virtual worlds entail similar\r\ndevelopment processes as games, as they both require expertise from creative and\r\ntechnical facets. While facing similar difficulties as other commercial projects, creating\r\ngames presents its own unique challenges due to its multi-disciplinary nature. Because\r\nof this, beginner and indie developers face complications in attempting to apply\r\nSoftware Engineering methods (which are efficiently tailored to guide general software\r\nprojects) to reduce the chance of project failure. This study aimed to examine the\r\nconstruction of games and integrate it into the Software Process. First, the background\r\nof game development and Software Engineering were explored, deriving the\r\nintroductory guides for both. Then, a guidelines draft is developed to offer advice on\r\ngrafting aspects of the Software Process onto existing game or virtual world projects.\r\nThey are aimed at independent developers as they represent the future workforce of the\r\ngame development industry. To test the draft, an experimental project is carried out\r\nusing the guide as a supplementary resource. The project resulted in a 3D action-RPG\r\ngame platform that can be used as a starting point for advanced feature placement and\r\ncontent development. It demonstrated that the guidelines were educative but lacks depth\r\nand correctness. Revisions on these guidelines will transform it into a stepping stone\r\nresource that introduces novice game developers to integrating Software Engineering\r\nprocesses and practices into their projects.

"This quantitative research aims to examine the impact of recognition, career development,\r\nwork-life balance and benefits on employee commitment. This includes the objectives as\r\nfollows: (1) To identify the employee perception with regards to recognition, career\r\ndevelopment, work-life balance, benefits and employee commitment (2) To examine the\r\nrelationship between recognition and employee commitment (3) To examine the\r\nrelationship between career development and employee commitment (4) To examine the\r\nrelationship between work-life balance and employee commitment and (5) To examine\r\nthe relationship between benefits and employee commitment. Maslow Theory, Aon\r\nnd Expectancy Theory as well as past\r\nliteratures were used to support the research hypotheses. Survey data was collected from\r\n108 employees through convenience sampling of a multi-national oil and gas company.\r\nSPSS Version 17 was used to analyze the data. The reliability test was conducted using\r\nCronbach Alpha and data was analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency\r\ndistribution and inferential statistics, namely Pearson Correlation, Multiple Regression,\r\nANOVA and Co-efficient. The Pearson Correlation Analysis revealed that: (1) There is a\r\nlow and significant relationship between recognition and employee commitment (r=0.259)\r\n(2) There is a low and significant relationship between career development and employee\r\ncommitment (r=0.258) (3) There is a moderate and significant relationship between\r\nwork-life balance and employee commitment (r=0.403) and (4) There is a moderate and\r\nsignificant relationship between benefits and employee commitment (0.571). The\r\nAdjusted R Square of 0.430 from Multiple Regression Analysis shows that 43.0% of\r\nemployee commitment can be explained by recognition, career development, work-life\r\nbalance and benefits. The Multiple Regression Analysis also shows that work-life balance\r\nand benefits are the strongest predictors of employee commitment with Beta Co-efficient\r\nof 0.338 and 0.410 respectively. Limitations, implications and suggestions are also\r\ndiscussed. (Abstract by author)"^^ . "2011" . . . "Open University Malaysia"^^ . . .

"The purpose of this study was to determine the impacts of service quality, student\r\nsatisfaction and personal factors on student intention to complete study in open distance\r\nlearning (ODL) institutions. A cross-sectional survey design was employed in this\r\nstudy. Data was collected during the period from October to December, 2009 from a\r\nnation-wide random sample of 450 Open University Malaysia (OUM) undergraduate\r\nstudents. Several statistical techniques were used to analyse the data and they include\r\nproducing frequency counts for generating descriptive statistics. In addition, factor\r\nanalysis was used to identify and confirm the factors of service quality, student\r\nsatisfaction and student retention. Multivariate analysis was also used for testing\r\nhypotheses and measuring the impacts of factors on student retention. The study\r\nfindings based on 342 usable questionnaires indicated that service quality and its four\r\ndimensions (tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, and assurance) had positive impacts\r\non overall satisfaction. However, the empathy dimension did not have any effect. Five\r\nfactors were found to have effects on student intention to complete study in OUM. They\r\nwere: student satisfaction, goal commitment, family support, study habits and number\r\nof semesters attended. However, service quality had no effect. The findings indicated\r\nthat low student retention in ODL institutions was attributed not only to student\r\nsatisfaction but also to a combination of personal factors. It follows that the key to an\r\neffective retention strategy is for ODL institutions to provide quality support services\r\nthat meet the satisfaction of the students. Additionally, ODL institutions should help the\r\nstudents to overcome their personal problems. (Abstract by author)"^^ . "2010-10" . . . "Open University Malaysia"^^ . . .

"The study examined the effectiveness and application of the tacit knowledge in the area \r\nof service delivery and order provisioning. The selected organization for this study is a \r\ncorporate telecommunication body namely Telekom Malaysia Bhd (TM) and their \r\nspecific customer called Government Integrated Telecommunication Network (GITN). \r\nThe study was conducted on the chosen domain and organizations due to the special \r\nbusiness arrangement which is based on wholesale approach between TM and GITN. It \r\nis noted that the current Order Management System (OMS) in TM is inefficient to \r\nprovide the required analysis and real-time status reports of the service delivery due to its \r\npoor handling of bulk service orders. The real-time analysis and service delivery reports \r\nin relation to service provisioning are vital drivers to TM management for the decision \r\nmaking process. \r\nIt is the key objective of this study to propose a solution to improve TM current business \r\nprocess particularly in the area of tracking and monitoring. The approach proposed in \r\nthis study is to make use of the tacit knowledge acquired from the experts at ground level. \r\nIn the process of leveraging the underlying tacit knowledge in TM day-to-day business \r\nprocess, the study requires the process of elicitation, adoption of effective interview \r\ntechnique, codification of tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge and building up \r\nappropriate system rules for the prototype. In general, the results have shown an \r\nacceptable improvement especially in the project management of service delivery area. \r\nThe findings of this study are sufficient to encourage further work on the research model. \r\nSeveral recommendations are presented for future research.

(1st. 24 pages)"^^ . "The purpose of this study was to analyse whether the Question and Answer Relationship (QAR) strategy is effective in enhancing the reading comprehension\r\nperformance of upper secondary, English as a Second Language (ESL) students of low English proficiency (LEP). A quasi-experimental pre-test post-test non-equivalent control\r\ngroup research design was employed in this quantitative study. Two intact Form Four classes in a rural secondary school were used as the experimental (35 students) and control groups (32 students). Explicit strategy instruction of QAR was conducted over six weeks for the experimental group while the control group was taught using the traditional method. Results of the pre and post-tests were statistically analysed using One-way ANOVA, Repeated measures ANOVA and 95% confidence intervals. Significant\r\nimprovements in marks were found in the experimental group for three variables namely, the subjective reading comprehension questions and summary as a whole, ‘In my Head’\r\nquestions and the summary question. For the subjective reading comprehension questions,\r\nthe result was inconclusive while for ‘In the Book’ questions, there was no significant\r\nimprovement in both the experimental and control groups. Based on the results, it was\r\nconcluded that explicit cognitive strategy instruction was effective in enhancing reading\r\ncomprehension performance to a large extent. However, limited vocabulary seems to have\r\nhindered LEP students from locating the appropriate answers in the text for ‘In the Book’\r\nquestions. Therefore, this study found that in order to be fully effective, the QAR strategy\r\nshould ideally be taught together with strategies that increase the vocabulary of LEP\r\nstudents.

"The purpose of this paper is to get a better understanding on how unit trust as a saving\r\ninstrument that is affordable, liquid, safe and convenient and yet can give a higher return\r\nthan fixed deposits over the long term. Generally, unit trusts are all about investing as\r\nthey are a great way for most of us to invest for future wealth. In addition, there are so\r\nmany unit trust funds in the market so this is a kind of guidance to the investors to make\r\ntheir choice to fulfil their wealth objectives and goals. In this paper, I am using two funds\r\nhouses, Public Mutual and Prudential Fund Management to compare with the KLCI. By\r\ndoing some analysis and test, in terms of their performance especially and in to what\r\nstocks or how much portion do they allocate per their investment generally. Furthermore,\r\nin the test, we could see how the funds react when the KLCI goes up and down. The\r\nresults seem to show that a fund which allocates their portion of investments in more\r\nequities that is 75 percent to 90 percent will react very fast according to the market\r\nvolatility. Meanwhile, those funds which allocate more in fixed income, short term bonds\r\nand repos would not affected by the market volatility at all. In conclusion, an investor\r\nmust determine his or her own risk profile so that they will select the right funds in which\r\nit will meet their goals. (Author's abstract)"^^ . "2008" . . .

The methodology used was through \r\nreferences to previous studies and theories with regards to leadership competencies \r\nrequired in an organization and via analysis on the data collected from the \r\norganization in accordance to the theoretical framework employed. The four (4) \r\nleadership dimensions studied was Behaves as Owner, Outperforms, Inspires \r\nFollowers and Develops People. Through the analysis, it was found out that the \r\nmajority of the executives in the organizations felt that they possessed a high level of \r\nleadership competencies. However, the results of the leadership competencies model \r\nand the dimensions studied only showed 65% significance level. In conclusion, the \r\nsignificance is not profound between the leadership dimensions and leadership \r\ncompetencies, The organization may need to rethink and re-strategize if necessary, \r\nwhich Leadership Dimension that they would want their executives to be proficient in \r\nand also maybe to limit the number of dimensions that their executives needs to be \r\ncompetent in.

"It has always been the interest of our government to promote entrepreneurship and \r\nnew venture in business as a mean to enhance economic growth for the nation and creating \r\njobs to help to solve the problem of unemployment. \r\nThe research conducted particularly among the students of Open University Malaysia \r\n(OUM) has attempted to understand the factors that stimulate or impede their entrepreneurial \r\nintention. The study has also focused on examining how many OUM students possess the \r\nentrepreneurial intention towards self-employment, how the relationship of demographic \r\nfactors affecting their entrepreneurial intention, and lastly but not least how is the curriculum \r\noffered in OUM has helped to promote students' interest in entrepreneurship. \r\nIt appears that the students find entrepreneurship both personally and generally \r\ndesirable which suggests that entrepreneurial career in future might become more typical and \r\npopular among university graduates. However, training and skill development programs are \r\nnecessary to increase the personal capabilities and generate interest and intention among \r\nstudents to have positive attitudes towards entrepreneurship. \r\nThis survey has also confirmed the previous studies by others that the male persons at \r\ntheir prime age of 31-45 years old continue to be the most active group in terms of \r\nentrepreneurship and the role of entrepreneurial role models in the family has a positive effect \r\non the entrepreneurial perception and intentions. \r\nIt also appears that the entrepreneurial intention among female students is fairly low. \r\nThis paper suggests that there should be continuous effort to promote female \r\nentrepreneurship and continuous effort from university to work closely with a variety of \r\nbusiness support agencies or other government agencies to raise students' awareness of \r\nvarious avenues of support and programs available to assist them in their business start-ups.

"This study explores the needs of lifelong learning from the perspectives of working adults\r\nfocusing on the employees of METEOR Group of Companies. The study addresses\r\nconcerns via its three stated objectives namely to identify profiles of staff who pursue\r\nformal learning in the organization, identifying reasons for pursuing learning as well as\r\nidentifying constraints in the pursuance of lifelong learning. The data for this study\r\nembraces the email messages, interview transcripts as well as communication via\r\nsynchronous mediated technology, namely Yahoo Messenger. The data collected has\r\nbeen processed using statistical fwnction embedded in SPSS programme. Factor analysis\r\ntechniques have also been used in the effort to process data. Thus far, data collected\r\ncould not be further analyzed due to small numbers recorded on the staff who currently\r\npursuing learning. Findings of the study had generated reasons for pursuing lifelong\r\nlearning that is basically to increase and enhance self opportunity, for the financial and\r\neconomic stability as well as for self satisfaction of oneself. The study also discovered\r\nthe awareness among the non-pursuance of lifelong learning on the importance of\r\ncontinuous learning. The existence of the awareness among the non pursuance was\r\ndefinitely hindered by the constraints discovered in the study. The major constraints\r\nrecorded are work commitment, financial as well as time constraint. Apparently, these\r\nconstraints had strongly triggered that majority of the staff who pursue learning are at the\r\nnon-executive level as compared to the executive and middle management. Indirectly it\r\nshows that the non-executive level are committed to improve their current well being and\r\nperhaps for the reason that there are less burden in their present work which allows them\r\nto pursue higher 1earning.The findings will contribute towards the organization efforts in\r\nenhancing and established skilled human capital within the organization. The findings\r\nand recommendation of the study would serve as a relevant tool in harnessing employees'\r\ndevelopment as well as sustaining the employability of respective staff. The study offers\r\npositive views for further study to be explored in order to attain a better understanding\r\namong the new employees of the organization besides providing actual assistances in\r\nL creating and provoking awareness amongst its employees towards the importance of\r\nlifelong learning. To sustain and survive in rapid changing world, organization has to be\r\n[i more proactive in generating skilled human capital for the bettennent of the organization\r\nE as well as the employees, in particular.

IT\r\ncomprises of two main strategies of networking namely wired networks and wireless\r\nnetworks. The problem of bandwidth allocation has been extensively studied for wired\r\nand wireless domain. But very little attention has been paid for wired-cum-wireless\r\nnetwork topologies. This paper focuses on issues that make a wireless scenario different\r\nfrom a wired one. In the project the various algorithm that are used in wireless networks\r\nhave been discussed and simulation approaclles have been done to simulate a\r\ncommunications throughput. Examples of graphical results have been illustrated and\r\ncompared. A comparison of the important features of wired and wireless networks have\r\nbeen tabulated. The technique of bandwidth allocation is an ever evolving problem, thus\r\nmany attempts have been made to make bandwidth allocation fair and justifiable. This\r\nstudy will give a good idea about these attempts as well as highlight the issues involved. (Author's abstract)"^^ . "2008" . . . "Open University Malaysia (OUM)"^^ . . .

"The environmental forces that stem from the technological advancement, social changes, economic and demographic changes and consumerism have placed a great challenge to the petrol chemical industry players in ensuring their organizations achieved a world class status. Therefore, the success of any organization in the petrochemical industry depends on employees who enjoy their day-to-day job and feel rewarded by their efforts. As part of the journey in achieving a world class petrochemical company by the Optimal Group of Companies, the success will depend on its high quality and satisfied work forces working in the organization. This research offers an opportunity to assess the relationships between the job characteristics and the level of employees' job satisfaction in Optimal Group of Companies, Kerteh, Trengganu. Apart from' that, the research also attempts to fulfill the following objectives that are to identify the relationship between overall core job characteristics such as skill variety, task identity, task significance, autonomy and job feedback to job satisfaction and to identify the relationship between demographic factors such as gender, age, tenure, job position/group, education and marital status to job satisfaction. The data were collected by using a structured questionnaire and analyzed by using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSSB, 13.0).

"This final project for the Masters Information Technology Program focuses on a \r\nsystem intending to assist school teachers in dealing with the school student \r\ndisciplinary system. Disciplinary records which are usually made on cards are now \r\nstored into a central database using Microsoft Access and Visual Basic . \r\n \r\nRecords can be made of all students in the school concerned according to class. \r\nRelevant particulars of every student are stored. Types of disciplinary problems are \r\nlisted and users only need to choose them from prepared list boxes provided. \r\n \r\nChoice of disciplinary problems will generate demerit marks to indicate the \r\ncorresponding seriousness of each problem committed. The system can generate \r\nletters to parents as well as students concerned. It will print student particulars when \r\nand as required. Up to date disciplinary reports can be generated and produced \r\ninstantly at the touch of selected buttons. \r\n \r\nThe system will be user-friendly whereby teachers will only need to choose a required \r\noperation through the use of attractive buttons. The system will be using the window \r\ninterface. (Author's abstract)"^^ . "2007-01" . . . "Open University Malaysia (OUM)"^^ . . .

"Organizations are means to ends, not ends in themselves, their existence is to serve the needs of people who are outside of them. This study is to suggest some suitable improvement approaches to the regional offices of Energy Commission, based on the present ability and the feedback from the people they are sewing. Energy Commission as a regulatory organization has it purpose to ensure safety, adequacy, and reliability of electricity in accordance to the laws. However, their presence seems not to appear so in the eyes of the public. Wrong-doing activities such as illegally carrying electrical works and dishonestly using the electricity were not given a thought of something erroneous and could be punished. Survey results showed that the people's perception in electrical safety and compliance to laws has not been satisfactorily regulated. Studies also notified that the regional offices themselves have shortage of staff strength. To enhance the capability, recruiting to a right sizing is an ideal situation. However, other practical means are also being discussed towards the end of the chapter. Despite the limited number of staff, capacity building could be developed by means of proper restructuring work, collaborating with other departments, setting strategies and targets, enhance skills and technical ability and also developing staffs' organizational commitment. Above all it is the employees' dedication with strong internal drive and good faith that want something positive to happen, will make it happen. (Author's abstract)"^^ . "2007" . . .

Three types of Islamic Bonds were\r\nexamined: Mudharabah, Al-Bai Bithamin Ajil and Ijarah.\r\nThe results show that there no significant positive abnormal return occurs\r\nfollowing an Islamic bond offering announcement. The findings revealed that Malaysian\r\ninvestors respond positively to these announcements, perceiving them as good, thus\r\ncreating a positive wealth effect. This positive effect is consistent with the findings of\r\nChang(2004) and suggests that Islamic bond financing is a means of minimizing the\r\ncost and increasing the opportunity of investment when value and timing are uncertain.

It was also found that respondents were not satisfied with the distribution of work, chances for promotion, attitude of the student and school facilities.\r\nThe findings from this study apply only in a small region of Malaysia, so it is best if the survey could be broaden to other places other than town area.\r\n"^^ .

"This study examines the information content of two firm-specific characteristics', firm\r\nsize and book-to-market effect on the Malaysian Stock market returns for the year 2004\r\nand 2005. A sample of seventy companies stocks listed in Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange\r\nComposite Index was used for this study.\r\nThe regression results show a negative relationship between book-to-market and stock\r\nreturns. However, the results from the various sectors did not show any significant effect\r\nof book-to-market on stock returns. The finding is contrary to Fama and French (1992) in\r\nwhich positive relationship between book-to-market and stock returns was observed.\r\nEmpirical results prove that book-to-market ratio cannot explain cross sectional variation\r\nin stock returns and has weak support in Malaysia context, while the size effect is not\r\nsignificant. Thus the overall results show that both book-to-market ratio and firm size do\r\nnot have impact on stock returns. The evidence appears to support the efficient market\r\nhypothesis.

"Hotels being a part of the Hospitality Industry play a big part in the providing accommodation, food & beverage and other services to people. Ultimately unlike other industries, the Hotel Business is a very demanding industry as it is involved in satisfying people's most basic needs that is hunger and safe place to stay while they are away from their home. Service has always been the emphasis of any such organization; therefore consistency is always the main aim of the organization.\r\nIn achieving consistency, hotels have to ensure that their employees are well trained in their job role and continuously. In doing so, the organization will have to ensure that there is a systems flow in training and developing the employees. The study conducted is to determine how Hotels could use\r\nthe information given to develop a systematic Training & Development plan by evaluating the effectiveness of the organizations objectives, interest in learning and personal commitment and fulfillment towards their jobs. The research sample consists of 3 management levels within the organization and the data collected via questionnaire and interviews.\r\n\r\nThe feedback and opinion from the Management Staffs are important in ensuring the implementation of the plan. The data gathered and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). The technique of analysis that was carried out in this study was frequency, reliability, correlations, cross tabs and one way.\r\nThe results revealed that there is a significant positive correlation between Learning Organization and Work Fulfillment. It also indicates that the employees demographic is not dependent, meaning that if as the work forces are all adults it is important for them to know that the involvement in Training is a personal commitment and interest.\r\nIn conclusion, it can be said that a structured Training & Development Plan gives an impact on the organization as the consistency of service is assured. Further employees being developed for promotions etc. will be promoted based on a structured competency over a given period of time.\r\n"^^ . "2006-05-05" . . .

"The study of human resource development programme in the current crisis of the\r\nincreasing number of pilots leaving Malaysia Airlines Systems (MAS) is to determine the\r\nproblems and factors which contribute to this issue. This study focus on the causes of\r\nwhy 174 pilots left MAS for other airlines since November 2004 until March 2006. The\r\nnumber of pilots left MAS which contributes to the exodus and shortage of the pilots\r\nsince year 2004 will in no doubt, jeopardise flight safety and influence the morale among\r\nother pilots. MAS pilots are not comfortable and not satisfied with the present situation\r\nwhich leads to foreign airlines absorbing those talented and experienced technical crew.\r\nSeveral issues which were brought up by the Malaysia Airlines Pilot Association\r\n(MAPA) to MAS are still under negotiation and is still pending to be solved since 3 years\r\nago. The approach of this study starts from analysing the human resource management\r\nwhich includes human resource development and compensation. There are many areas\r\nwhereby improvements can be made; for instance the MAPA is seeking a comprehensive\r\nretention package so that the country's vital human capital can be retained. Without\r\nsufficient numbers of pilots, the national airline will be gravely affected in its operations.\r\nThis study strongly believes that the push factors needs to be seriously addressed. The\r\npull factors have always been there. It is the push factors that are causing our pilots to\r\nlook for the pull factors. MAS cannot afford to take the risk of losing even one more pilot\r\nto other competitors. (Author's abstract)"^^ . "2006" . . . "Open University Malaysia (OUM)"^^ . . .

"The general purpose of this research study is to determine whether working\r\nin a team is common or expected to raise an interpersonal conflict between\r\nproject team members. The scope of this research study is based on\r\ninformation system development projects. Similar to other projects that are\r\nbeing executed by a team through a specific period of time, ISD projects\r\nteam members include application developer or programmers, project\r\nleaders, project managers and the end users as well. A questionnaire has\r\nbeen distributed to 3 main external application service providers (Teliti\r\nComputers (M) Sdn Bhd, Protellus (M) Sdn Bhd), CSA (M) Sdn Bhd and to 1\r\nin-house ISD project team at Kertih Terminals Sdn Bhd, 1 of many operating\r\nunits in KIPC.\r\nAs information system plays a big role in supporting management,\r\nengineers, finance and administrative personnel in all operating units at\r\nKerteh Integrated Petrochemical Plant (KIPC) at Kerteh Kemaman\r\nTerengganu; including to Malaysia economic growth as KIPC alone\r\ncontributes to around 20 percent gross domestic product. The importance of\r\nidentifying such conflict and conflict management styles will help other\r\noperating units to use this research study as a guideline to reduce the rate of\r\nfailure on ISD projects including to other projects as well. The other purpose\r\nof this research study is to determine the style used for conflict management,\r\nand whether such conflict does have an impact on ISD project outcomes.\r\nFindings from 1 operating unit and 3 suppliers on 6 ISD projects is revealed\r\nas per Table 5.0 and Figure 12.0; and that on all ISD projects, interpersonal\r\nconflicts do existed during the ISD project development phases based on all\r\ncriterias set that is interdependence, disagreement, interference and\r\nnegative emotion as per research study conducted by John Lamp, Graeme\r\nAltman, and Timothy Hetherington (2003) including by Henri Barki and Jon\r\nHartwick (1 999,2001 ).\r\nFrom 6 ISD projects obtained from 60 questionnaires sent over to selected\r\ngroup of respondents, 1 ISD project has been identified to be an overrun\r\nproject but was considered by senior management of Kertih Terminals Sdn\r\nBhd as successful ISD project. The reasons for overrun projects were due to\r\nbigger specification requested by ISD end users after the specification\r\nrequirement studies were completed previously. This additional requirement\r\nhas led to longer schedule and higher expenses.\r\nThe research findings revealed that ISD end users did not gave their full\r\ncooperations during the system requirement studies. As stated in research\r\nstudy conducted by John Lamp, Graeme Altman, and Timothy Hetherington\r\n(2003), ISD projects that are heavily based on the end-user interface and the\r\nuse of state-of-the-art technology including the lack of understanding of such\r\ntechnology to the end-user including the lack of understanding of the\r\napplication developers with end-user and business needs is a potential\r\nsource of conflict. It was made known by ISD project managers from 1\r\novemn ISD project that end users did request additional requirements only\r\nafter they have seen the prototype during the ISD project development\r\nphases as they is no prototyping used during the system requirement study.\r\nThe reasons for end users not giving their full cooperation during the system\r\nrequirement study were due to no information system prototype used that\r\ncould lead to lack of understanding of the application developers with enduser\r\nand business needs. Although such request was a last minute request,\r\nproject manager for 1 overrun ISD project have agreed to fulfill those\r\nadditional requirements. This led to bigger ISD project specification as per\r\nTable 9.0.\r\nISD projects managers have been identified as capable in handling conflict\r\nresolutions. The outcomes were considered positive such as problem\r\nsolving, avoiding, compromising, yielding and forcing. Data analysis results\r\nfrom Table 6.0 and Figure 13.0 have shown that majority respondent have\r\nchosen ideal conflict management style including combination of those styles\r\nto overcome conflicts.\r\nAll factors that contribute to positive outcomes such as reward systems listed\r\nas per Table 4.0 and Figure 5.0, physical working area as per Figure 9.0,\r\nworking environment as per Figure 10.0, adequate working experience as\r\nper Figure 7.0 and adequate level of qualification as per Figure 8.0 from all 6\r\nISD projects have been identified positive by majority respondents. The\r\nresults of this research have shown that project complexity on all 6 ISD\r\nprojects as per Figure 6.0 were at average of medium. This research has\r\nconcluded that conflict does exist in ISD projects conducted in KIPC and\r\nproper application of conflict management style; satisfied reward system,\r\nproper physical working area, working environment and adequate working\r\nexperience and qualification could have led to positive outcomes of those\r\nISD projects.

"This study focuses on the relationship between students' satisfaction and their\r\nperceived service quality provided. Using empirical data and a conceptual\r\nmodel, the results of this study indicate that students' college experience is\r\npositively related to their satisfaction. It is accepted that educational institutions\r\nhave many customers: students, staff, faculty, alumni, donors, and others.\r\nFurthermore, the increased turmoil in the higher educational market place may\r\nencourage higher educational institutions to utilize a more consumer-oriented\r\nphilosophy in delivering their services. Since this study specifically investigated\r\nthe link between consumer-oriented educational institutions and their students'\r\nperception, developing satisfied customers is consistent with this principle. One\r\nof the implications of this study is that those educational institutions which\r\nunderstand consumer-oriented principles may have a better chance of\r\nsatisfying the wants and needs of their students more effectively. The additional\r\nimplications for administrator and management teams are also discussed as\r\nwell as suggestions for further research are made. (Author's abstract)"^^ . "2006" . . .

Apart of examining the job\r\nsatisfaction among the employees, the aim of the study was also to identify\r\nthe overall management system that was being practiced in the resort. In\r\naddition, the study also tried to determine the relationship between\r\nmanagement style and job satisfaction.\r\nThe study employed a modified Likert scale to measure organizational\r\nmanagement profile and the Job Diagnostic Survey developed by Hackman\r\nand Oldham to measure job satisfaction. A questionnaire was developed to\r\nobtain data from the populations in the resort. Data analysis was done using\r\nthe SPSS programme. Statistical analysis was done using the Spearman's\r\nrank-order correlation for the ordinal data and the chi-square test for the\r\nnominal data.\r\nThe overall job satisfaction level among the employees in the resort was\r\nfound to be 'slightly satisfied'. It was also found that job satisfaction was\r\nrelated to management style and slightly influenced by personnel\r\ncharacteristics such as gender and age. Several recommendations have\r\nbeen put forward in order to improve the job satisfaction in the resort. (Author's abstract)"^^ . "2006" . . . "Open university Malaysia (OUM)"^^ . . .

"Corporate governance and company's performance"^^ . "Theoretically, the principles of corporate governance are consistent with the concept of\r\nwealth maximisation and strategic management. It is to ensure the shareholder goal -\r\nwealth maximisation - is implemented. Given this objective, is there truly any correlation\r\nbetween corporate governance and company's wealth maximisation, reflected by its\r\nperformance? In the past, certain studies discovered a strong correlation. Most others\r\nfound weak results or no link between corporate governance and performance. To\r\ncontribute further to the earlier findings, this study examined the relationships of board\r\nsize, director independence, number of board meetings, non-duality role of Chief\r\nExecutive, role of non-executive Chairman, number of board committees, voluntary\r\ntraining, continuous communication with investors and existence of director to whom\r\nconcerns can be conveyed; for selected PLCs, against their ROE, ROA, EPS and share\r\nprice. Results for individual relationships between each proxy of corporate governance\r\nand proxy of performance were inconsistent. In general however, the results imply weak\r\nrelationships exist between corporate governance and' company's performance. The\r\nfindings from this study will become handy in the wake of shareholders' activism and\r\nprovide guidance to corporate players in understanding their role; it may also offer\r\nrelevant authorities or policy setters, ideas to mitigate any loopholes in policing corporate\r\ngovernance.

It has been said that the essence of\r\nentrepreneurship is in the creation and growth of new firms, whether out of\r\nnecessity or opportunity. According to the latest statistics provided by the\r\nRegistrar of Companies, there are 585,471 legally registered companies in\r\nMalaysia. As there were only approximately 366,000 companies that were\r\nregistered in 1995, this represents a huge rise in the figure. The importance placed\r\nupon entrepreneurship as one of the new engines of growth for Malaysia's\r\neconomy can be seen through the sheer amount and variety of supporting\r\nmechanisms and policies that exist for entrepreneurs. This includes a variety of\r\nfunding schemes, physical infrastructure such as business and entrepreneur parks,\r\nas well as business incubators and advisory services.

"The famous riddle in the training and development fraternity is: What do some\r\ntraining and development professionals view as both an opportunity and a\r\nthreat? The answer: e-learning.\r\nWhile some trainers view it as preying upon their insecurities, others understand\r\nthat e-learning is a tool to help learners gain a comprehensive knowledge of a\r\nspecified field - an elusive task due to rapid product development and evolution.\r\nHowever, far at large there are still doubts on a full-blown e-learning initiative\r\ncompany wide. Why and what should we do about it, is my next course of action.\r\nThe purpose of this study was to identify some determinants that initiate elearning\r\nmotivation modern industries. The study examines the independent\r\nvariables which were the organizations demography, IT infrastructures, cost of\r\nimplementation, learning culture and KSAO of the course content developers\r\nlinking the relationship of moderating variables; influence and exploration from\r\nthe government and e-learning fraternity and the identification of LMS, to the\r\ndependent variable - e-learning initiatives.\r\nData were collected from a sample of 103 organizations in the state of Penang\r\nIsland, west peninsular Malaysia.\r\nThe findings in general provide support to the hypothesis formulated. The results\r\nshowed that the relationship among KSAO of content developers, IT\r\ninfrastructure, cost of implementation and the learning culture were fully\r\nsupported by the analysis.\r\nMaster of IT- Open University Of Malaysia\r\nAn empirical study of E-Learning Initiatives in modern organization.\r\nThis study has essential implication for organizations. Managements have to first\r\nunderstand what initiate the motivation of implementing e-learning in the\r\norganizations for the global challenges in order to stay competitive in today's\r\nchallenging learning, training and development environment.

"If human resources are to be effectively utilized, management has to understand\r\nwhat motivates employees. While motivation research has produced some solid\r\nevidence in the western world, little is known about what motivates their\r\ncounterparts in developing countries especially Malaysia.\r\nThis MM project paper aims to explore the responsiveness of Malaysian workforce\r\nwith varying ethnical cultures values to work motivation concepts. This research is\r\nbeneficial in understanding the key motivating factors for Malaysians to improve\r\nwork satisfaction and productivity.\r\nIn order to empirically test the work motivation content and process effectiveness in\r\nthe Malaysian settings, this study has developed a cultural-based work motivation\r\nmodel. The research instrument developed with local contents as its major focus,\r\nbuilt upon (i) organizational behavior's cultural dimensions concepts; and (ii) work\r\nmotivation theories from both content and process approaches.\r\nBased on mean responses, the rank order of work motivation content factors in\r\ndescending importance is: (i) financial rewards; (ii) recognition; (iii) good working\r\nconditions; (iv) growth and promotion opportunities; and (v) achievement needs. The\r\ndata analysis suggested that Malaysian employees are generally responsive to most\r\nwork motivation processes.\r\nFinding showed (i) correlation between motivational factors and ethnic values; and\r\n(ii) employee's demographic profile influences the motivation inclination. The\r\nevidence suggested further research area into the comparative study of the foreign\r\nand local work motivation needs to clearly determine cross-cultural implications on\r\nwork motivation theories."^^ .

"The global economy is creating profound and substantial changes for\r\norganizations and industries throughout the world. These changes make\r\nit necessary for business firms to carefully examine their purpose and\r\nto devote a great deal of attention to selecting and following strategies\r\nin their pursuit on the levels of success that have a high probability of\r\nsatisfying multiple stakeholders. In response to rapid, discontinuous,\r\nand significant changes in their external and internal environments,\r\nmany established companies have restructured their operations in\r\nfbndamental and meaningful ways (Kuratko & Hodgetts, 2004).\r\nToday, a wealth of popular business literature describes a new\r\n\"corporate revolution\" taking place thanks to the infusion of\r\nentrepreneurial thinking into large bureaucratic structures (Hamel.\r\n2000). This infusion is referred to as corporate entrepreneurship or\r\nintrapreneurship, which allows corporations to tap the innovative\r\ntalents of their own workers and managers (Morris & Kuratko, 2002).\r\nThis project paper investigates the intrapreneurial activity within\r\nPuratos, a Belgian food company for bakery, patisserie and chocolate\r\ningredients, with around hundred production and financial subsidiaries\r\naround the world. Each Puratos subsidiary is managed by a Belgian or\r\nlocal General Manager. (Author's abstract)"^^ . "2005" . . . "Open University Malaysia (OUM)"^^ . . .

"Fokus kajian ini ialah rungutan atau perasaan ketidakpuasan hati pekerja kilang,\r\nkhususnya operator pengeluaran. Kajian-kajian yang telah dijalankan menunjukkan\r\npekerja kilang mempunyai banyak masalah atau rungutan dan sebilangan rungutan itu\r\nberkaitan antara satu sama lain. Masalah yang wujud menyebabkan timbulnya rungutan\r\ndi kalangan mereka. Di antara rungutan itu ialah masalah gaji, ganjaran sampingan,\r\nbonus, peluang kenaikan pangkat, peluang mengikuti latihan, ke rja lebih masa, hubungan\r\ndengan penyelia, hubungan dengan rakan sekerja, aktiviti kesatuan sekerja, keadaan di\r\ntempat kerja, syarat-syarat pekerjaan, kantin kilang, bas atau van kilang, keadaan\r\nkesihatan, keadaan kewangan, kerja syif dan keselamaan di tempat kerja.\r\nKajian ini dijalankan ke atas 113 orang operator pengeluaran daripada pelbagai\r\njabatan di kilang Infineon Melaka ( dahulu dikenali sebagai Siemens ). Responden di\r\nkehendaki menjawab satu soal selidik yang mengandungi sembilan soalan, iaitu enam\r\nsoalan mengenai demografi responden, satu soalan mengandungi 17 item mengenai\r\nkepuasan atau ketidakpuasan pekerja, satu soalan kaedah penyelesaian rungutan yang\r\nmengandungi lima item dan soalan akhir mengandungi tujuh item mengenai kesan\r\nrungutan terhadap pekerjaan pekerja.\r\nHasil kajian menunjukkan lebih daripada separuh pekerja kilang berpuas hati\r\nterhadap sembilan item dan bakinya berasa kurang berpuas hati terhadap lapan item lagi.\r\n( Rujuk Lampiran P, borang soal selidik soalan 7 ). Kaedah penyelesaian rungutan yang\r\npaling kerap digunakan ialah perbincangan dengan rakan sekerja. Hampir satu pertiga\r\ndaripada responden memilih kaedah penyelesaian melalui penyelia kilang, yang\r\nmenggunakan prosedur penyelesaian masalah yang telah ditetapkan oleh pihak\r\npengurusan. Lebih daripada dua pertiga responden berpendapat bahawa rungutan mereka\r\nboleh mengakibatkan mutu atau produktiviti kerja mereka menurun.\r\nPengkaji juga mengemukakan cadangan bagi mengatasi masalah rungutan pekerja\r\nyang boleh diarnalkan oleh kilang tersebut. Adalah diharapkan kajian ini dapat menjadi\r\npanduan atau rujukan untuk kegunaan pihak industri dalam mengatasi masalah rungutan\r\npekerja di kilang masing-masing. (Author's abstract)"^^ .
