There is evidence to suggest that Malaysian housemen are becoming more burned out. This study examines relationships between role ambiguity, organisational justice, organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB), and burnout among housemen at the Malaysian Ministry of Health (MoH). The questionnaire was distributed at random to the study's participants. PLS-SEM was used to analyse the data (version 4.0). The quantitative technique was used to distribute a questionnaire to housemen at 15 public hospitals in Malaysia. The partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) method was used to analyse the data. The MoH can be advised to use the study's results to pinpoint elements of role ambiguity and OCB that can reduce burnout among Malaysian housemen. According to the research, organisational justice and OCB have positive effects on burnout while role ambiguity has a negative effect. In Malaysian public hospitals, the results show that two independent variables can reduce housemen's burnout. However, role ambiguity did not lessen the importance of burnout among housemen. In order to draught and implement the necessary policies, top management in all public hospitals will use the study's findings as a guide. If the nation can find a way to lessen housemen burnout by managing the implementation of policies that are related to role ambiguity and OCB, it might be able to better serve the communities in the future.

Globally, the number of women leaders is increasing year after year, where many women are working in male-dominated sectors. Despite the fact that women have contributed to the success of male-dominated businesses, there have been few studies on women's leadership behaviour. The primary goal of this study was to investigate the influences of work-life balance, personality, and emotional intelligence on women's leadership behaviour among Malaysian engineers. This study also looked at motivation as a moderating variable in the link between personality and emotional intelligence in women leaders. In this study, all independent variables (work-life balance, personality, and emotional intelligence) were shown to be substantially connected to the dependent variable (women's leadership behaviour). Motivation, as a moderating variable, was discovered to have a considerable impact on the link between personality and emotional intelligence and women's leadership behaviour. Based on the results, the practical implications can be used as a guide for future studies. It is recommended to do more in-depth studies by focusing on more dimensions for each of the selected variables to learn more about the factors that cause women to become leaders in a male-dominated field.

This concept paper explores the challenges faced by employees from various industries as the world faces the COVID-19 pandemic at this point. The current situation finds that employees cannot go out to work face to face or are not allowed to come to the office physically as usual as a result of this COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. Furthermore, all citizens from almost all countries are involved in the implementation of the movement control order (MCO). However, jobs that involve day-to-day operations in the organisation still need to carry out their activities as usual for the sake of the survival of their respective organisations. Thus, there are various online platforms that are used to enable activities in the organisation to continue in the interest of stakeholders. To continue daily work activities there are several online platforms that are often used as communication media in organisations such as 'Google Meet', 'Google Classroom', 'Zoom', 'Webex', 'Microsoft Team' and 'Skype'. When the COVID-19 pandemic situation was announced to have subsided, there were organisations that adopted hybrid methods where online and face-to-face communication media were practiced for the purpose of discussions and meetings. This concept paper aims to identify the challenges faced by employees throughout working from home (WFH) when faced with this COVID-19 pandemic. Researchers have proposed three (3) recommendations in facing employee challenges throughout WFH with reference to Sociotechnical Systems Theory (STS) and Motivation-Hygiene Theory based on reference highlights of papers reviewed from 15 journals in previous studies. The results of this study can contribute to knowledge and in addition to the highlights of the work for this topic, especially to employers and employees who practice the concept of WFH.

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of organisational justice and organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB) on burnout among housemen who work in Malaysian public hospitals. Health institutions have the highest employee attrition rate due to housemen not doing their duties. Two organisational factors, which are organisational justice and OCB, have been investigated as the potential determinants of burnout in this study. Additionally, age and ethnicity have been analysed as moderating variables in this study. To obtain the relevant data, 417 questionnaires were digitally distributed to 15 public hospitals operated under the Ministry of Health (MoH) of Malaysia in the urban zones of the country. 417 housemen filled out the questionnaire in its entirety. The Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM) method has been used to analyse the obtained data. Based on the results of the study, housemen's burnout is significantly affected by both organisational justice and OCB. It was interesting to see that the connection between organisational justice and burnout among housemen in this study could only be moderated by age. On the other hand, the relationship between OCB and burnout is merely moderated by ethnicity. The results of this study have significant implications for top management in all of the Malaysian public hospitals with regards to the creation and application of the pertinent justice and OCB policies. Therefore, fresh information on lowering the level of burnout among the Malaysian housemen may assist the nation in better service. Several suggestions for additional study directions are highlighted at the end of this study. The MoH can use the findings of this study to update the strategy and standard operating procedure (SOP) for managing the Malaysian housemen. The results of this study might also change the Malaysian housemen's perspectives on the subject and assist them in preventing burnout while working. Not only that, but understanding the scope and origins of burnout might promote a favourable atmosphere in the medical setting, particularly in the hospital management, housemen, and patients.

The global average life expectancy has increased astonishingly. However, problems such as household income inequality, high unemployment and the continuous impact of economic growth have prevented Malaysia's life expectancy from increasing. This paper studies the effect of macroeconomic variables on life expectancy in Malaysia from 1991–2019. The data was collected from the World Bank and the Department of Statistics Malaysia. For this purpose, the analysis of the study is to use the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach. The results show that household income variables and economic growth variables have a positive and significant effect on life expectancy in the long run, while only the economic growth variables have a significant effect on life expectancy in the short run. Therefore, the country needs to allocate greater expenditure on economic development because it can increase Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and reduce the inflation rate. Besides, people can have extra money to get better health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The composition of foreign workers is increasing because the cost of hiring foreign workers is lower, which has made the demand for foreign workers high. Besides, there are also some jobs that are not of interest to local workers. The purpose of this study is to investigate the linkage between foreign workers and Malaysian national output from 1990–2019. The data were collected from the World Bank. For this purpose, the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach will be used. The results showed that foreign workers and capital stock have a positive and significant effect on national output in the long run. Meanwhile, in the short run, the results show that consumption, expenditure, and capital stock have a positive and significant effect on national output. Therefore, the country needs to manage existing human resources in the country to make sure local workers also get jobs. Malaysian employment increases in every major area as a result of hiring foreign labour. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the quality of healthcare services by investigating the factors affecting patient satisfaction and predictors in private hospitals in Georgetown, Penang, Malaysia based on three service quality dimensions of the SERVQUAL which Responsiveness, Reliability, and Tangibility. A modified SERVQUAL questionnaire was used using random sampling to gather the research data and the respondents are consisted of 204 public and outside patients who are prior to the onset of the investigation. Pilot test is conducted for 54 respondents and all the variables obtain Cronbach's Alpha more than 0.7 which is acceptable. Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) is used to evaluate data of this research. The results of the study revealed that the perceived healthcare services in private hospitals do not significantly vary. The dimension of responsiveness was rated the highest while tangibility was perceived as the least important of the three SERVQUAL dimensions applied in this study. Therefore, this research suggests to use more dimensions of service quality theories and bigger samplings to obtain better results and may be used to contribute in enhancing the quality of healthcare services of private hospitals in Penang, Malaysia and in other similar environments.

Although the term of women leadership sound familiar due to its significance on achieving gender equality in all nations, however lack of evidence was found on this domain particularly in the context of Malaysia. Following that, this research aims to examine the associations between personality, work-life balance (WLB) and emotional intelligence (EI) towards women leadership, specifically in the Malaysian manufacturing-based industry. A total of 391 out of 1846 engineers from the Malaysian manufacturing-based companies filled out questionnaires. SPSS was used to analyse the associations between all variables. Also, the mean for all variables were reported in this research. Specifically, a high mean indication with µ=4.02 for women leadership; µ=3.96 for personality; µ=3.85 for WLB; and µ=4.10 for EI were revealed based on this research. Next, Pearson correlation results presented the highest association between WLB and women leadership (r=.737, p=.000); followed by personality (r=.724, p=.000); and EI (r=.722, p=.000). This research added new information to the existing literature by empirically tested the role of personality, WLB and EI on women leadership. Thus, by nurturing the proven indicators of polishing the women engineers to be leaders in the manufacturing-based companies, the goal of gender equality for the country was expected can be achieved.

The success of emergent entrepreneurial adventures are of interest to stakeholders given the important role that such businesses play in shaping the economies in most countries. While several emergent entrepreneurial businesses are threatened with failure and early exit within the first five years of the business, the literature have attributed and continuesly agued numerous factors responsible for the failure. In this study we argued that to ensure entrepreneurial success there is need for persistent commitment to the career, strong aspirations to desired goals and emotional intelligence. Thus the study examines the effect of these factors namely career commitment, aspirations and emotional intelligence on extrinsic career success taking the context of the cosmetics industries in Malaysia. The quantitative in-depth interview research technique was used to retrieve primary data through questionnaires. An estimated sample of 341 cosmetics entrepreneurs in Malaysia were selected as respondents of this research using simple random sampling method. The analysis was based on the multiple linear regression technique using the SPSS software. The results indicated that career commitment among cosmetic entrpreneurs positively relates to extrinsic entrepreneurial success (β= 0.258, t=2.937, p<0.004). The relationship between career aspiration and extrinsic entrepreneurial success is predicted as positive and significant (β= 0.121, t= 1.319, p<0.019). Finally, based on the result (β=0.162, t=1.738, p<0.085), there is also a positive and significant relationship between Emotional intelligence and extrinsic entrepreneurial success. Some implications of this research are discussed based on the study findings at the end of this study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This examination inspects the impact of organisational justice on burnout among housemen in Malaysian public hospitals. The measurement shows that the degree of burnout among housemen rises each year. This was because of a report makes reference to that right around 400 housemen were missing from duty in Malaysia. As per the Chief Secretary, Tan Sri Dr Ali Hamsa, clinical segment is recorded as a large portion of losing higher specialist, anyway he didn't specify the specific measure of inclusion among the housemen. Housemen are compelled to ended by Ministry of Health (MoH) in light of the fact that they not take care of the work up to the 400 days has been rehashed as the normal. Then again, because of the conflicting outcomes done by the past researchers on this investigation, organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB) has been presented as a moderating variable. As a desire, complementary benefits must be moved between two parties, housemen (employees) and institutions (public hospitals). In this examination, the impact between the sum total of what factors has been disclosed by alluding to the Social Exchange Theory (SET). The quantitative strategy is utilized in this examination, and the survey has been haphazardly circulated to the housemen from 15 open clinics in urban zones. The PLS-SEM measurable instrument has been utilized for information investigations. The outcomes from the pilot test show the legitimacy and unwavering quality of the polls. Alluding to the SET, OCB is expected can direct the impact of organisational justice on burnout among housemen in Malaysian open medical clinics for the future examination. The data dependent on this examination will be an important manual for the MoH and to diminish the degree of burnout among housemen in Malaysia public hospital. The medical clinic the board likewise can utilize the data dependent on the investigation to redesign the strategy and standard operating procedure (SOP) towards the administration of the housemen. Likewise, this examination can be the premise to help the Malaysian housemen to distinguish the reasons for burnout and improve their points of view upon this issue. Not just that, knowing the dimensions of burnout and its causes can create a positive vibe in the medical environment, particularly among the ministry, hospital management, housemen, and patients. Last but not least, several directions for future research have been suggested. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

At the end of this research, several significance of this research are discussed based on the research findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research looked at how work engagement and career strategies affect career success. The study proposed that career strategies would buffer the relationship between work engagement and career success. The information was acquired through a questionnaire of 398 female engineers from five states in Peninsular Malaysia. The results indicated that work engagement is significantly associated to objective career success (β=.042, t= 1.685, p≤.05), and subjective career success (β=.063, t= 3.828, p≤.05). However, career strategy is not significantly associated to objective career success (β= -.131, t= 1.004, p≥.05); but it significantly associated to subjective career success (β=.497, t= 1.691, p≤.05). Moreover, the indirect effect revealed that the moderating function of career strategies in the connection between work engagement and subjective career success was also partially supported in this study. In detail, results presented that career strategy is not moderated the relationship between work engagement and objective career success (β=.084, t= 1.043, p≥.05) but it moderated the relationship between work engagement and subjective career success (β=.188, t= 2.242, p≤.05). By referring to the Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT); the discussions were made as well as the ramifications were proposed to the relevant parties include of the female engineers in Malaysia.

Researchers paid attention on career satisfaction as predictor of turnover intention in response to request for future study about antecedent of turnover intention. This study determined the relationship between career satisfaction and turnover intention among the Malaysian information and communication technology (ICT) employees. This study also contributed to the Social Exchange Theory (SET) literature in examining the relationship between career satisfaction and turnover intention. This study used simple random sampling approach to collect data from 214 ICT employees from several organizations in Selangor, Malaysia. SPSS 23 statistical software is used to test the formulated hypotheses. This study revealed empirical findings on negatively significant relationship between career satisfaction and turnover intention. This study offered practically guidance on managerial side in ICT organizations to pay more attention on development of new skills, promotion chances and career goal of ICT employees after understanding the predictor of turnover intention. Therefore, it is expected that turnover intention decreased as career satisfaction increased; while, lack of Malaysian ICT employees' problem is thought out as well retaining those top performers in the industry.

Although, several success factors have been documented as determinants of career success, very few studies relate these variables in the cosmetics industry especially in the context of Malaysia. Additionally, the impact emotional intelligence (EI) on intrinsic types of career success have had little attention in this sector. The influence of psychological factors specifically pertaining EI among cosmetic entrepreneurs on the intrinsic career success was therefore examined. The study used cross sectional data approach to collect data from 301 registered cosmetic entrepreneurs based on National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) in Malaysia. PLS-SEM statistical software were used to test the formulated hypothesis. In examining the influence of EI on intrinsic career success, the finding shows that EI creates a strong and positive significant factor towards the intrinsic measures of career success. Thus, the study contributes practically to the increased support at the national level for development entrepreneurship skills among youth. This provided empirical evidence on the relevance of EI will guide the attention of government, policy makers, academics and emerging entrepreneurs in Malaysia. The findings can be employed by academicians to educate and transform aspiring entrepreneurs and boost the success rate. Future research is called to further investigate the extrinsic dimension of career success and also to expand the model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
