Perhubungan antara sistem komunikasi pampasan dan kepuasan kerja: adakah keadilan prosedur memainkan peranan bersyarat?

Compensation management literature has highlighted that the strength of relationship between a compensation communication system and individual attitudes and behaviours would change when feelings of procedural justice are present in organisations. This empirical evidence is used as a guideline to develop and test a conceptual framework for this study using data gathered from in-depth interview and survey questionnaire methods. The sample of this study was 99 respondents who had completed the survey questionnaire forms. Outcomes of hypotheses testing using a hierarchical multiple regression analysis showed that knowledge about pay systems has invoked employees’ feelings of procedural justice, and this might lead to increased job satisfaction. Conversely, immediate boss treatment had not invoked individuals’ feelings of procedural justice, and this could lead to decreased job satisfaction. These outcomes could be influenced by the external factors, such as compensation management cultures that have been practised in the studied organisation. This study affirms that procedural justice does act as a partial moderator in the pay system model of on ICT company in Kuching, Sarawak. Thus, the implications of this study on compensation theory and practice, methodological and conceptual limitations, as well as suggestions for future research are also discussed

Analysis of simple sequence repeat markers linked to submergence tolerance on newly developed rice lines derived from MR263 × Swarna-Sub1

Nowadays, in extreme changing environments, development of submergence tolerance variety is necessary for ensuring crop production stability where, it is known that Malaysian commercial rice varieties such as MR219, MR220 and MR263 were severely susceptible to submergence. First step towards the development of submergence tolerance variety starts with the breeding program by crossing MR263 and Swarna-Sub1. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) was carried out through the utilization of simple sequence repeats (SSR) markers, considering its reliability as pre-selection tools to conduct this research. F1 generations plants were confirmed by tightly linked markers. In case of background study, out of 180 SSR markers, 38 were found polymorphic between two parents. Association of molecular markers and submergence tolerance were determined using Chi-square test. MR263 × Swarna-Sub1 F2 lines were tested for Sub1 gene conformation using the markers RM8300 and RM219. These markers showed a good fit to the expected marker segregation ratio (1:2:1) in a Mendelian single gene model (DF=1.0, p≤0.05). Eleven homozygous lines with Sub1 gene out of 256 were selected for future development of submergence tolerant varieties. Eleven lines were selected based on phenotypic study and agronomic performance

Role of waqf for elderly care to improve employee retention strategies: a qualitative study / Nurul Asyiqin Abdul Fatah … [et al.]

This study examined the relationship between work-life balance and employee retention in Malaysia. Employee retention strategies are crucial in building capacity towards sustainable social and economic growth. Hence, the issue of work-life balance is an eye-opener to the public because it can affect the employees and their surroundings. This is because there are many children nowadays who neglect their parents due to work commitments and pressure to cope with the financial burden. Therefore, this study investigated the capacity of waqf funding in order to resolve this issue. This study employed interviews in order to get the expert’s point of view particularly from the elderly care centres and non-government associations. The purposive sampling procedure was adopted in this study. The findings indicate that waqf can help to increase wellbeing and facilitate better employee retention strategies. The findings achieved in this research will be of interest to practitioners and academicians who are concerned with the retention strategies at the workplace in order to support employees to be retained in their current organisations

The 4CS in harm reduction programmes: a case of needle syringe exchange programme using total quality management / Sharifah Fadzlon Abdul Hamid … [et al.]

This paper intends to study the costs associated with harm reduction. Harm reduction is a way of dealing with behavior that damages the health of the persons involved and their community. Many individuals acquire these damaging behaviours (for example, smoking, drinking too much alcohol, practicing un-safe sex and drug abuse) are well aware of the adverse consequential effects on their health. Needle Syringe Exchange Programme (NSEP) is one such harm reduction programme recommended by the WHO (World Health Organization) to the Ministry of Health in Malaysia in 2005 and has produced encouraging results. Using the concept of Total Quality Management (TQM), the researchers identified and classified the costs involved in the harm reduction programme. The main principle of TQM with its emphasis on the cost of prevention is highly relevant in harm reduction programmes, which is similar to its emphasis on ‘prevention is better than cure’. Hence, this management accounting model which the researchers termed the 4Cs (currently in the process of being trademarked) is highly relevant and applicable in any harm reduction programme

Recurrent parent genome recovery in different populations with the introgression of Sub1 gene from a cross between MR219 and Swarna-Sub1

Recurrent parent genome (RPG) recovery is the most important step of marker assisted backcross breeding. This breeding approach is used to develop new varieties by inserting a particular gene of interest into the background of a modern variety, and removing undesirable segments linked with the target allele, which can survive after many generations of backcrossing. The marker assisted backcrossing technique is the most effective way to minimize the limitation of conventional breeding, and recover the parental genome within 2–3 generations. MR219, A modern rice variety of Malaysia (susceptible to submergence) was crossed with a high-yielding submergence tolerant variety Swarna-Sub1 (donor) to produce a new submergence tolerant rice variety. Foreground selection for the sub1 gene was done using tightly linked markers. Estimation of RPG recovery was conducted in earlier generations with previously screened polymorphic SSR markers. A total of 385 SSR markers were tested to identify the polymorphism between the parents and 88 of them found to be polymorphic. Background analysis revealed 65.55–77.8 and 78.79–95.5 % recovery in BC1F1 and BC2F1 generations, respectively. In the BC2F2 generation the average RPG recovery was 95.37 % and that for the selected plant was 96.3 %. This study revealed the usefulness of marker assisted backcrossing for the quick recovery of a parental genome in a backcrossing population

The Needs and Readiness of the Islamic Banks to Adopt the Comprehensive Islamic Accounting Standards: The Malaysian Experience

The Islamic finance sector in Malaysia has seen substantial growth over the past few decades, becoming one of the leading markets for Islamic financial products and services. This growth has brought about significant challenges in financial reporting, primarily due to the limitations of conventional International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in addressing the unique characteristics of Islamic financial transactions. The shari’ah transactions are governed by Shariah principles, which prohibit interest (riba) and emphasize on risk-sharing, ethical investments, and social justice. The study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the current issues and debates surrounding the need for comprehensive Islamic accounting standards in Malaysia. It will review recent literature, regulatory developments, and the experiences of practitioners in the particular field. Furthermore, the report seeks to highlight the readiness of Bank Negara Malaysia and all Islamic Banks to adopt Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institution (AAOIFI) standards and explore the feasibility of integrating these standards within the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) framework. Additionally, this report aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on Islamic accounting by offering critical insights and recommendations for policymakers, regulators, and financial institutions. The ultimate goal is to enhance the transparency, comparability, and reliability of financial reporting in the Islamic finance sector, thereby promoting its sustainable growth and integration into the global financial system

Design and dynamic stiffness evaluation of magnetorheological elastomer bushing using FEMM and dynamic testing machine

This research presents a simulation study on electromagnetic behaviour of magnetic flux density distribution in a magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) bushing. The design concept of MRE bushing is based on the design of the bushing used in the conventional car, only the natural rubber is being replaced by the MRE compound. Furthermore, the electromagnetic simulations were conducted by using Finite Element Method Magnetics (FEMM) software where the main aim is for more magnetic flux density in the MRE, which indicates better performances for MRE bushing in this study. The best configuration of the MRE bushing for this study is using single coil, magnetic material for all parts except for coil bobbin, and the thickness of ring plate of 4 mm, which yield the highest magnetic flux density of 0.205 T. By using this configuration, the dynamic stiffness of this MRE bushing is ranging from 2259.13 N/mm to 2671.06 N/mm with the applied currents of 0.5 A to 2.5 A and frequencies from 1 Hz to 15 Hz. All in all, the optimized configurations improve the performance of MRE bushing remarkably
