Conceptualizing Legal Harmonization Approach In Malaysia

Legal harmonization is a fundamental notion of comparative law that has been on the international and national agendas for the last decade. Harmonization, which derives from the word “harmony,”  has a variety of meanings, one of which, in the perspective of the discussion of this topic, is the readiness and the openness to recognize, acknowledge, adopt, or accept anything produced, practiced by or originating from man-made laws, modern secular traditions, customs and usages, cultures, societies, systems or institutions which is considered to be in “harmony” with or not opposed to the worldview, principles, values, teachings, and norms of Islam. Thus, the conceptualizing approach of harmonization of legal knowledge and education is a process of actualizing the divine imperatives in the legal arena. In Malaysia, several endeavors have sought the similarity between legal rules from different jurisdictions; however, their achievements remain contested since there is no comprehensive understanding of the nature and extent of harmonization. Thus, this article examines different facets of harmonization by considering it a legal phenomenon instead of a distinct process of drafting similar rules. Adopting a comprehensive understanding of harmonization as a legal phenomenon may help better assess the strengths of the implementation processes and formulate adequate new legal endeavors

Labour Productivity Spillovers from Foreign Direct Investment: Evidence from Malaysian Industry Level Panel Data by Labour Skills Composition

This study adds to the literature by examining both technology and knowledge spillover effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) according to skill composition and also by country spillovers in Malaysian medium-high industry, which raises the question of the real benefits produced by both spillovers that Malaysia can reap from the presence of FDI in enhancing the labour productivity. Using the seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) estimator to estimate labour productivity function by skill composition, the results reported that the presence of Japanese, Singaporean and the United States MNCs are statistically significant in influencing the productivity of high and medium-skilled workers from both technology and knowledge spillover effects during the period of 2000 to 2018. Conversely, the analysis indicated that both Chinese and Taiwanese MNCs significantly increase the low-skilled labour productivity. An interesting finding was discovered, that the negative association between knowledge spillovers and labour productivity across the skills draws the attention for the role of local firms as recipients of FDIs depends not only on their absorptive capacity but also on their strategic decisions regarding search direction and motivational disposition to absorb external knowledge. These issues need to be investigated further to understand how local firms may increase their chances of benefitting from MNC presence

Staff Burnout and Leadership Styles towards Job Performance during Critical Period

Recent pandemic of COVID-19 has heightened the need for mental and emotional health and the demands for specific types of leadership styles toward performance. The researcher believes that burnout and leadership styles are interrelated towards the job and the organization’s performance during the critical period. Hence, this study aims to investigate the relationship between staff burnout and leadership styles toward job performance during the critical Movement Control Order (MCO) period due to COVID-19 in Malaysia. A questionnaire was used as the main instrument in the data collection process. A total of 180 online surveys in the form of Google Form format were distributed among Credit Guarantee Corporation Malaysia Berhad (CGC) employees through a convenience sampling technique. Multiple regression analysis was used to investigate the relationship between determinants of staff burnout and leadership styles toward job performance. The data collected was analyzed using SmartPLS, one of the most popular software applications for Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The result indicated a significant relationship between burnout (personal accomplishment) and leadership styles (autocratic, democratic, and laissez-faire) toward job performance. In comparison, burnout (emotional exhaustion and depersonalization) has no significant relationship with job performance. The researcher suggested that future research conduct another study with different populations of respondents by considering the larger sample size, including all levels of employees in an organization from all the companies in the same industries
