Abstract

SearchNEasy is a Malaysia-based Web Development Company providing leading customized web solutions for worldwide business over the past 20 years. People, process, and technology are three elements for successful business transformation. The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic affects the workload of employees as the demand for the company's service for web design increases due to the Movement Control Order (MCO), where the Malaysian government commands the closure of all private and government sectors, except those deemed as essential needs. This research intends to understand the factors contributing to employees’ performance. This study was conducted through primary and secondary research with respondents and existing data. Through this study, employees’ performance, job stress, job demand, organizational culture, and organizational rewards were analyzed. It was shown that job stress is one of the factors of employee performance in SearchNEasy due to the increase in workload and lack of employees during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Abstract

Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn Bhd or Perodua was founded in 1993. It is Malaysia's largest and first Energy-Efficient Vehicle (EEV) manufacturer. The company aims to provide Malaysians with full mobility through high-quality, useful products and services.

Although Malaysia’s Road Transport Department has cleared Perodua of any involvement in the scandal it remains essential to assess customer satisfaction with Perodua vehicles in light of this incident or other similar incidents in the future. Thus, this study attempts to explore the factors that affect customer satisfaction with emphasis on trust, brand image, perceived price fairness, and customer service as the factors. 150 Perodua customers participated, completing the quantitative research through a self-administered questionnaire. The collected data was analysed using SPSS software based on multiple regression analysis. The results showed that trust, brand image, and perceived price fairness greatly influence Perodua's customer satisfaction. With the ultimate goal of increasing customer satisfaction and competitive advantage in the automotive industry
