Understanding leader-follower dynamics in organization: An overview / Azlyn Ahmad Zawawi

Leader and follower connect themselves through synergic dynamics. More often than not, they identify themselves as a unit and practically plan organizational development and progress to achieve similar strategies and objectives. Graen and Uhl-Bien (1995) stated that the development of a leader-member exchange is based on characteristics of the ‘working relationship’ as opposed to a personal or friendship relationship. Leaders create unity through demonstration of group-mindedness by making more references to the collective history, the collective identity and interests, and collective efficacy (Shamir, House & Arthur, 1993). The more leaders augment follower identification (through role modeling or group socialization), the more followers will likely experience higher feelings of ownership and responsibility (Dick et.al, 2007). To understand these dynamics, reciprocal effect of both parties are reviewed and discussed. This paper intends to recognize the relationship of leader and follower and how they relate to each other in groups

Service quality in general insurance industry

The main purpose of this study is to investigate service quality of the general insurance industry using the service performance gap model. Under the service performance gap model a service performance gap is defined as the discrepancy between service performance expectations of customers and actual service delivered (A Parasuraman,Valeria A. Ziethaml, Leonard L. Berry, 1988). An ANOVA and Independent Sample T-Test were deployed to explore on the variables data. Factor Analysis using Principal Component Analysis approach had been deployed in looking for the "clumps" among the inter correlations of a set of variables. Result had indicated that even though the gap between the perception and expectation was nominal, continuous effort need to be taken by the insurance company in order to increase the level of satisfaction. Assurance is known to be the priority in the service dimensions irrespective of the general insurance agents' demographic. Empathy dimension however is not a priority in this study

The level of self-efficacy in obesity counselling and its associated factors among primary care doctors

Introduction: Since its recognition as a disease entity in 1948, obesity is now escalating to a global population pandemic. The latest National Health and Morbidity Survey showed an increasing prevalence of overweight, obesity and abdominal girth since 2006. Without effective interventions, it was estimated that at least half of the world’s adult population will be either overweight or obese by 2030. Primary care doctors are at the forefront of the healthcare system, acting as both patient closest contact personnel and resources manager to organize preventive measures, to control the disease and to manage its comorbidities. However, in clinical practice, available literature highlighted that physicians often perceived themselves to be less confident and less effective in their counselling towards obesity. Objective: The aim of this research was to investigate the level of self efficacy in obesity among primary care doctors and its associated factors. Methodology: This was a cross sectional survey over 151 primary care doctors working in government health clinics in the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Respondents were selected by simple random sampling. An invitation letter was sent to each respondent together with informed consent document. Respondents filled up an online selfadministered questionnaire from 1st December 2016 until 15th January 2017. The data was analysed with descriptive analysis to determine the level of self-efficacy. Multiple linear regression was applied to determine relevant factors associated with the level of selfefficacy in obesity counselling.Results: The response rate of this study was 82.1%. The mean score for self-efficacy in obesity counselling was 66.9% (SD 10.67, 95% CI 65.1, 68.9, p<0.001). From the multivariable analysis, factors found to be associated with the level of self-efficacy include involvement in NCD team (95% CI 0.38, 9.27; p<0.05), formal training on physical activity (95% CI 0.57, 8.48; p<0.05) and knowledge on CPG recommendations (95% CI 0.36, 2.50; p<0.05). Conclusion: This research found that the level of self-efficacy in obesity counselling among primary care doctors was modest. To address this, a structured training program for primary care doctors that emphasize on multidisciplinary and multicomponent obesity care, empowerment of healthy lifestyle intervention and enhancement of knowledge seem to be associated with confidence and perceived effectiveness of obesity counselling

Properties of oil palm shell lightweight aggregate concrete containing fly ash as partial sand replacement

The steady growth of the palm oil industry has led to the generation of the palm oil mill by-product known as oil palm shell (OPS) amounting more than 4 million tonnes annually which are dumped in the landfill. At the same time, the annual world production of fly ash (FA) which is a by-product of coal-fired electric power plants is approximately 350 million tonnes. Due to large production, these waste are also dumped that in turn, significantly affects the surrounding environment. On the other hand, the growing construction industry has led towards the increase in river sand mining activities. However, unregulated mining by the authorities may pose adverse impact towards the environment as it lowers the stream bottom, which in turn may lead to bank erosion. The growing demand for construction material and environmental issues created from the by-products of palm oil industry as well as coal industry have initiated research towards producing a new lightweight concrete. OPS has been previously utilized with POFA and FA as partial cement replacement. However, it is non-trivial to mention that study on the integration of fly ash (FA) as sand replacement in OPS LWAC has yet been reported. Thus, this research focuses on investigating the properties of Oil Palm Shell Lightweight Aggregate Concrete (OPS LWAC) containing various percentage of FA as partial sand replacement. Fly Ash (FA) is utilized as partial sand replacement in the production of Lightweight Aggregate Concrete (LWAC) in order to reduce sand usage in construction, reduce pollutions as well as the amount of waste disposed. Meanwhile, the use of OPS in lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) as a coarse aggregate replacement will help to preserve natural resources such as granite and limestone. The plain OPS LWAC content with 100% sand was used as a control mix. Then, a series of OPS LWAC mixes with FA of various percentages such as 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% were prepared. The OPS was utilized as coarse aggregate with 100% replacement throughout the research. The best mix acquired from the trial mixes were used to investigate the mechanical and durability properties of OPS LWAC. The effect of curing namely water curing, air curing and initial water curing regimes on mechanical properties aspect of OPS LWAC containing FA has been determined. Furthermore, other durability properties tests have been carried out namely sulphate resistance test, water absorption and carbonation. All specimens were tested until 9 months. OPS LWAC containing 10% FA performs the best amongst all percentages in terms of mechanical and durability properties. The inclusion of a suitable amount of fly ash produces larger amount of C-S-H gel from both hydration and pozzolanic reaction which fills in the void of concrete internal structure making the concrete denser and stronger. It was demonstrated that 40% of FA replacement provided the worse effect to the OPS LWAC in term of mechanical and durability properties. The findings show that water curing is the best curing method to ensure better performance on compressive strength, flexural strength, modulus of elasticity and splitting tensile strength of OPS LWAC containing FA followed by initial water curing and air curing. Also, OPS LWAC with 10% FA exhibit higher durability compared to control specimens and others mixes when subjected to sulphate attack. OPS LWAC with 10% FA has better performance in sulphate solutions since the pozzolanic reactions reduce the quantity of calcium hydroxide which is vulnerable towards aggressive environment. No carbonation rate was detected for specimens subjected to water curing and initial water curing except for air curing. Water curing promotes better hydration process and pozzolanic reaction that improves the internal structure of OPS LWAC containing FA causing it to exhibit lower absorption value compared to other curing methods

The application of electro-coagulation in biodiesel wastewater treatment

A large quantity of oily wastewater is generated by biodiesel refineries which results in terrible environmental pollution and resource utilization problems. This wastewater must be treated before being released into the environment due to it normally rich in biological oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) which usually have damaging and harmful effects on plants, sea, river as well as surface and groundwater sources. Conventional biodiesel wastewater treatment methods such as gravity separation and skimming, air flotation, coagulation, de-emulsification and flocculation, posses several disadvantages including high operation cost, low efficiency, corrosion and recontamination problems. Indeed, most of these conventional methods unable to remove the micron or submicron sized oil droplets efficiently. Currently, new processes for efficient and adequate treatment of various industrial wastewaters with relatively low operating costs have been developed to meet the strict environmental regulations. At this point, the electrocoagulation process has attracted a great deal of attention in treating industrial wastewaters because of its versatility and environmental compatibility. Therefore, in this chapter, the advatages and application of electro-coagulation techniques were reviewed and discussed
