Purpose: This article shall examine the importance of communication management strategies in addressing the internal communication crises. Customer service officers who are satisfied are less likely to quit, neglect work, and produce defective products, and they are more likely to remain loyal to the bank. Effective communication management is essential for attaining employee satisfaction. Additionally, organizations need to use communication management strategies to make sure that the appropriate information reached the right people at the right time. Design/methodology/approach: The researcher plan to study the importance of communication management strategies in addressing internal communication crises among customer service officers in Malaysia. Findings: The study's findings are anticipated to serve as a paradigm for communication management practices in the financial services industry's handling of internal communication crises. By devising the Communication Management Strategies Model for internal communication crisis management, organizations can mitigate the negative effects of such crises, such as employee stress, anxiety, and low morale. Research limitations: The following studies should prioritize the examination of sectors, such as the tourism sector, oil and gas, or financial services industry. The study's generalizability is crucial for future research. Practical implications: This investigation is also intended to benefit the public and private sectors, as well as employees. Originality: It is crucial to identify and apply efficient communication management strategies to reduce the consequences of such a crisis. This aligns with the findings of a prior study that emphasized the significance of implementing effective communication management strategies within an organization. Keywords: communication, customer service officer, internal crisis communication, Introduction An organizational crisis, such as an occurrence that is viewed by managers and stakeholders as being highly significant, unforeseen, and potentially causing disruption, has the ability to jeopardize an [...]

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the influence of job demands on academicians' mental health in selected public universities in Malaysia. Findings: This study examined the effects of job demand on academics' mental health in Malaysian public universities using the JD-R model. Given that employee happiness was strongly correlated with mental health, it is crucial to pay a particular attention to how job demands can lead to stressful life events and other detrimental outcomes Research limitations/implications: This study may bring to the developing guidelines for workload management, implementing mental health support programs, and creating a more supportive work environment. The comparison across institutions can be done and may lead to the interdisciplinary collaboration which can offer comprehensive insights and solutions. However, some research implications and limitations associated with this study such as the sampling bias, self-reported data, as this study is a cross-sectional design and Findings from a specific study may not be fully generalizable to all academicians due to differences in disciplines, institutions, and cultural contexts. Practical implications: Studying the influence of job demand on the mental health of academicians has several practical implications, both for individuals working in academia and for institutions and policymakers as it increased awareness and self-care among academicians, allowing early intervention implementation, improving workplace policies, reducing stigma, improving employee's productivity, expansion of research in this topic, and many more. It can lead to improved mental well-being, productivity, and the overall quality of education and research in academia. Originality/value: Focusing on public universities in Malaysia adds a unique contextual dimension to the study. Malaysia has its own educational system, cultural factors, and socioeconomic conditions that can influence job demands and mental health in distinct ways compared to studies conducted in other countries. It can provide insights specific to the Malaysian context, inform policy decisions, enhance the work environment, and ultimately contribute to the well-being of both academicians and students in the Malaysian higher education system.
