23 | 2024 Article | Sustainability and performance:a study of Malaysian Waqf institution Amira Jamil As waqf has become a well-known and prominent socio-economic instrument across the world, it has caught the interest of researchers and policymakers. However, the performance of waqf institutions in Malaysia has been afflicted with inefficiency issues in recent years, particularly in waqf management. Despite the fact that the development of waqf institutions has been positive, there are still some problems that prevent them from reaching their full potential. There has been little research into the factors that can influence the sustainability and performance of waqf institutions.

In summary, the current study has added to the waqf literature in terms of ..... 11 hits |
24 | 2024 Article | Human management competencies of manufacturing firms a pilot study from Malaysia Rajaletchumy a/p Mani The Fourth Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0 is capable of triggering revolutionary (strategic) and evolutionary (operational) changes. Nonetheless, assessing human management competencies in Industry 4.0 has largely been a challenge. Thus, this empirical study aimed to understand the employee competencies and skills needed in Industry 4.0. The scope of the study involved electronic and electrical small and medium Malaysian manufacturing firms. Utilising a research framework based on the human capital theory, a questionnaire-based cross-sectional survey technique was adopted to collect pilot study data from 100 respondents. The results highlighted that competency of threshold, distinguishing, task requirement, communication and language, and creativity and innovation are necessary to gain employment in Industry 4.0. Additionally, creativity and innovation competencies are considered more important among respondents. The outcome of this pilot study bridged the theoretical gap and pr..... 7 hits |
25 | 2024 Article | FDI, trade, and finance catalysts for green growth in ASEAN-5 Tan, Yan-Teng Assuring economic growth and development without neglecting the requirement for environmental sustainability has become the most debatable topic in recent international forums. As a result, researchers and decision-makers are now focusing on green growth instead of traditional economic growth. Several factors that influence green growth have been studied in the literature to date, however, the impact of foreign direct investment, trade openness and financial development is relatively unexplored. Therefore, this study employs a fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) estimator to investigate the impact of foreign direct investment, trade openness, and financial development on green economic growth for ASEAN-5 countries from 2010 to 2021. The empirical results show that foreign direct investment and financial development have a positive impact on green growth, whereas trade openness has a negative impact on green growth. Considering the results, this study recommends that policymak..... 16 hits |
26 | 2024 Article | Current trends in Malaysian’s green purchasing behaviour in supporting green economy movement Trianna Rosli The Malaysian 2021 Budget reflects the government’s commitment to spurring the green economy with the emphasis to drive public awareness towards environmental conservation agenda despite the Covid-19 pandemic. However, it was recognized that contradictions exist between attitude and customer behavior balancing between lifestyle and environmental issues. Thus, the inconsistencies had created gaps between the two consumer interaction styles which would not be beneficial for market institutions and their customers. Hence, it is important to investigate how consumers interact with the representatives of marketing institutions with the customers’ environmental attitude lifestyle to understand and narrow the green purchasing behavior gap for the survival of the business organizations and the satisfaction of the consumers. Therefore, for this study, a newly developed measurement tool, Environmental Quality Awareness (EQA) was utilized to test the assumptions and to recommend appropriate s..... 15 hits |
27 | 2024 Article | Crime prediction using geospatial intelligence system for crime preventing Hasranizam Hashim Crime prediction relies on significant amounts of various data sources and is analysed through mathematical models, predictive analytics techniques, and machine learning algorithms to identify patterns of crime. To date, there has been little research conducted to examine and extend which repeat and near-repeat victimisation within crime hotspots can be collocated for crime prediction (Chainey et al., 2018). Therefore, this paper aims to identify crime patterns using crime prediction with repeat and near-repeat analysis. This study employed the GIS tool, namely, repeat and near-repeat analysis as the primary methods. Historical crime: all types of data used in the years 2015 and 2016 are analysed. The area of study is Petaling Jaya, Selangor. By using repeat and near-repeat analysis, the results reveal that there is a significant (p=0.01) and a meaningful near-repeat victimisation pattern were found in the study area. The most over-represented space-time range that is significant is th..... 12 hits |

29 | 2023 Article | Content validation procedure development of problem-solving skills test (PSST) Farah Aizar Zaipul Bahari This research aimed at developing a test instrument, the Problem-solving Skills Test (PSST) for Year Four students. The researcher has carried out content validity procedures on the PSST instrument. The content validity of the test involved six content validation experts. There were ten items for the test instrument. The items on the test have been evaluated quantitatively using the Content Validity Index (CVI) to determine whether they should be retained or discarded. According to the findings, the item content validity index, I-CVI, came in at a value of 1.00 for all items. This resulted in the scale content validity index, for both S-CVI/Ave and S-CVI/UA, equal to 1.00. Therefore, the Problem-solving Skills Test (PSST) has attained a very high degree of content validity and may be administered in actual research to determine students’ problem-solving skills.
