description: Due to Corona Virus (Covid-19) outbreaks, there has been a massive change in our education system. The education system has been influenced by Covid-19 and has led to worldwide closures. The whole world has taken this action to prevent coronavirus transmission among students. In response to this action, the education system, especially in Malaysia, has shifted to open distance learning, e-learning. Classes has been conducted via online platform and tremendous changed from traditional to digital. This change is one of the challenges in Malaysia's education system, from junior to higher learning levels. Despite the increase in open distance learning or online classes in higher institutions, this study tends to identify which factor during open distance learning or online classes could lead to students’ academic performance. This paper has identified the relationship between quality of lecturer, course design, lecturer's prompt feedback, and student expectations on student’s academic performance among university students in Klang Valley area. The study was quantitative, therefore, the data has been collected from selected higher institutions via an online survey. The sample for this study consists of higher learning students in selected higher institutions in the Klang Valley area with the total of 200 respondents to assess relationship between impact of open distance learning and student’s academic performance. Data were quantitatively analyzed using regression technique via SPSS. The result demonstrates a significant relationship between quality of lecturer, lecturer's prompt feedback, and student expectations on student’s academic performance. However, course design variables show a negative relationship towards student’s academic performance. Hence, this study confirmed all variables are significantly related to student’s academic performance among university students in Klang Valley

description: The increasing demand for servicing codes across faculties has created a growing need for data-driven decision supports in optimizing lecturer allocation and cost efficiency. This study applies machine learning techniques using the WEKA analytical tool to explore, cluster and classify servicing code applications using a dataset gathered from multiple faculties, and campuses within the Faculty of Business and Management in a selected public university in Malaysia. The dataset of 297 instances comprised attributes such as Course Code, Course Name, Course Type, Faculty, Program, Campus, Total Number of Students Enrolled and Approval Status. The main objective of this study is to identify the demand patterns and optimizing the lecturer’s contribution by maintaining a class sizes of maximum number of students in each class is 30 and a teaching load of up to 20 credit hours per lecturer. An Expectation-Maximization (EM) clustering model revealed five distinct clusters representing varied course demand concentrations and faculty distributions, with Cluster 1 (30%) showing the highest cumulative demand across university courses. Complementary K-Means clustering grouped the data into two major clusters, indicating that a clear differentiation between economic-based and enterpreneurship-based courses in terms of student enrolment volume and approval distribution. Attribute selection through Information Gain Attrite Evaluation model highlighted Program Code, Course Code and Type of Course as the strongest predictors of course approval and demand levels. Furthermore, classification using the Random Forest algorithm depicted that a 95.3% accuracy (k=0.768), confirming robust predictive capability in identifying course approval status and demand trends. These results identifying course approval status and demand trends. These re suggest that machine learning driven approaches can effectively support academic administrations in making informed staffing decisions, balancing full ti…

Drivers of Social Media Influencing Consumers’ Buying Intentions of Apparel Products in Bangladesh
type: item
description: Advanced technologies and the internet have transformed consumer buying behavior. Consumers currently favor internet shopping over in-person retail experiences. This study aims to examine the drivers of social media that influence consumers’ buying intentions of apparel products. The technology acceptance model (TAM) and the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology 2 (UTAUT2) models were utilized with added variables: compatibility and satisfaction. Data were gathered from 100 respondents through the convenience sampling method. Questionnaires were used as study instruments. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for Microsoft Windows version 11 was employed to examine the data. The researcher conducted a correlation analysis to examine the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. Regression analysis was conducted to assess the influence of the independent variables on the dependent variable. Regression analysis indicated that compatibility and satisfaction play a significant influence in the proposed model. Perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and cost have no any influence on consumers' buying intentions. Artificial neural network was drawn to analyse the non-linear relationship between the variables. The study will enable organizations to concentrate more on the drivers of social media that influence consumers’ buying intentions of apparel products.

From Clicks to Carts: How Social Media Shapes Food Purchase Behaviour in Klang Valley
type: item
description: The study investigates the impact of social media on food purchasing behavior in Klang Valley, Malaysia, emphasizing hashtags, social media influencers, and culinary festivals. Data were gathered using a quantitative research approach using an online survey administered to 100 respondents selected via convenience sampling. The results indicate that social media influencers and food festivals significantly influence consumer food purchasing behaviour, whereas hashtags exhibit no significant direct effect. The regression model accounted for 57.9% of the variance in purchase behaviour, highlighting the significance of credibility and experiential involvement in customer decision-making. These results indicate that although hashtags increase visibility, they serve mainly as discovery instruments rather than persuasive strategies. Conversely, influencers and culinary festivals act as significant catalysts for trust, engagement, and purchasing intentions. The research indicates that food marketers have to emphasize partnerships with influencers and experiential platforms while using hashtags as ancillary tactics. Future studies may investigate cultural differences, long-term consequences, and innovative technology like AI-driven customization and virtual reality in influencing customer behavior

How attitude, perceived savings, price discount affect, perceived food quality shapes purchase intentions of Menu Rahmah
type: item
description: Malaysians are still dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic's aftermath, despite its recovery. Compounded by the slowdown in the economy, many Malaysians are struggling to afford even the most basic meals. The Malaysian government has introduced Menu Rahmah, a price-discounted meal option, as a response to the current economic crisis, offering an ideal choice for Malaysians in need. The study aims to explore Malaysians' purchase intentions toward Menu Rahmah by extending the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). The data was gathered from 283 Malaysians through an online survey questionnaire. A partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyse the relationships between the study variables. The study's empirical results indicate that attitude, perceived savings, and price discounts affect significantly influence Malaysians' purchase intention of Menu Rahmah, while perceived food quality does not. This study contributes to the growing literature on TPB and consumer behaviour in discounted products. Additionally, the Malaysian government's Menu Rahmah initiative is a commendable effort to assist struggling Malaysians. By analysing the impact of attitude, perceived savings, and price discounts on Malaysians' purchase intentions, the government and its Menu Rahmah operators can encourage more consumption as an alternative.

type: item
description: There has been a change in the modern workplace brought about by the increasing popularity of flexible work arrangements (FWA), which are being implemented by organisations with the intention of enhancing employee engagement and need satisfaction. Despite this, research on FWA is still in the process of being developed, particularly regarding the mechanisms that drive the relationship between employee engagement and need satisfaction. In the context of flexible work arrangements, the purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between employee engagement and the satisfaction of their needs. For this study, quantitative questionnaires that were validated using the Fuzzy Delphi approach were distributed to IT professionals working in Malaysia's information technology and communication industry. The structural equation modelling technique known as partial least squares was utilised in this study by SmartPLS. Z-score normalisation was applied to our 337 data, and Jamovi and Python code were used to perform the screening. According to the findings of the study, there is a positive correlation between employee engagement and need satisfaction. We also found that there were significant relationships between need fulfilment and other aspects of employee engagement, with gender serving as a moderating factor. This was discovered with multi-group analysis. Our findings contribute to the existing body of research on FWA by providing an explanation of the mechanisms that describe the connection between employee engagement and need satisfaction. The findings of this study are significant for ICT industry that want to increase employee engagement and productivity in an environment that allows for FWA. These findings highlight the importance of catering to the requirements of employees and cultivating a supportive atmosphere in the workplace.

A Conceptual Study Between Person-Job Fit and Work Environment on Work-Related Quality of Life among Manufacturing Employees
type: item
description: Work-related Quality of Life (WRQoL) is considered an important matter for employees in the workplace. Employees with low levels of WRQoL have the potential to be exposed to mental health problems such as stress and worsened depression and burnout. However, employees wanted the task to be suited to their physical and psychological needs in the first place. That is called Person-Job fit or P-J Fit. P-J Fit conceptualisations are “demands-abilities” and “needs-supplies”. Thus, there are studies on the relationship between P-J Fit and WRQoL. Although the employees are suited to the task in the workplace in terms of skill and personality, supporting and threat factors contribute to WRQoL. Such supporting and threat factor in the workplace is the work environment. The work environment can be divided into human body activities and work conditions. The risky work environment will contribute to occupational diseases such as NIHL, WRMSDs, and cancer and occupational accidents. In the context of Malaysia, the manufacturing sectors are the highest contributors to occupational disease and accidents. Thus, this study intends to investigate the relationship between P-J Fit, work environment, and WRQoL among manufacturing employees. The instruments involved in WRQoL, P-J Fit, and the work environment that will be used will be discussed. At the end of this study, a conceptual framework will be formed. The conceptual framework will contribute to the Person-Environment Fit Theory. More factors involving the work environment, such as leadership, culture, and colleague relationships, can be studied in the future. It also can be involved in other sectors according to certain factors or focus on the manufacturing sub-sector.

Fatigued but engaged: What drives fake news sharing in the age of social media?
type: item
description: The escalation of fake news on social media platforms has surfaced as an urgent issue in Malaysia, particularly among university students who exhibit substantial engagement with digital environments. The swift propagation of misinformation presents considerable risks to public perception, societal unity, and the reliability of media outlets. In spite of the increasing scholarly interest, there exists a paucity of research examining the psychological and behavioral determinants that facilitate the sharing of fake news within the context of Malaysian higher education. In response to this void, the current study meticulously explores the impact of socialization, social media fatigue, self-disclosure, and online trust on the dissemination of fake news among university students. Employing a quantitative, cross-sectional methodology, data were gathered via an online survey from 449 university students throughout Malaysia. The measurement instrument employed a five-point Likert scale to assess the relevant constructs, and multiple linear regression analysis was utilized to evaluate the proposed hypotheses. The results indicate that socialization, social media fatigue, and self-disclosure serve as significant predictors of fake news sharing behavior. Conversely, online trust did not exhibit a statistically significant correlation. This study contributes to the expanding corpus of research on misinformation by elucidating key behavioral factors influencing fake news dissemination in a Malaysian academic context. It provides practical implications for the formulation of digital literacy initiatives and focused awareness campaigns designed to foster responsible online behavior among the youth demographic. Future studies should broaden the participant pool beyond university students, implement probability-based and longitudinal research designs, and integrate additional psychological and contextual factors to augment the generalizability and comprehensiveness of the findings.

The Evolution of Entrepreneurial Mindsets in the Digital Age
type: item
description: With everything going digital in this modern age, the world of entrepreneurship has shifted dramatically, and so has the mindsets of those navigating it. As compared to many years ago, entrepreneurs today think differently, due to the fast pace and constant change of the digital era. This paper explores how digitalisation has reshaped traditional mindset of entrepreneurs by looking at three crucial factors: digital literacy, adaptability, and network orientation. Digital literacy is the set of skills and knowledge required to use digital tools and platforms effectively. Adaptability refers to the ability to adapt and adjust strategies when technology or the market changes. Network orientation is about how entrepreneurs use digital platforms and social media to build connections, find resources, and grow their businesses, often reaching far beyond domestic markets. This paper builds on the Entrepreneurial Mindset Theory (EMT) to create a framework that reflects how entrepreneurs operate in the digital age. It addresses a clear gap in the literature by connecting digital skills with the entrepreneurial mindset, which is something many older models tend to overlook. This paper includes a detailed theoretical framework and a literature matrix to help clarify key ideas. It offers fresh insights into how entrepreneurial thinking is evolving in the digital age, and suggests directions for future research to explore these changes further.
