The organizational environment includes not only the landscape of a school, but also the components of school learning resources, student relations, communication-collaboration, decision-making and instructional innovation. According to the ministry of education, many schools do not have the new facilities needed for successful teaching and learning to meet the potential needs of the workforce. Further investigation is still needed as to how these elements make teachers enjoy a working environment, particularly in Kedah, Malaysia. It would also help the State department of education to address unresolved school issues. The aimed of this research is to examine primary school teachers' understanding of their teacher satisfaction and organizational environment. The design of this study was mix-method consisting of a survey (quantitative approach) and a semi-structured interview (qualitative approach). A sample of 220 teachers in 23 primary schools in Alor Janggus, Kedah participated in this study. On the other hand, a total of 20 teachers were interviewed to identify factors that would lead to teacher satisfaction at work and an organizational environment. The content analysis was used to identify the themes that emerged from the semi-structure interview. The themes emerged from the semi-structure interviews are student relationships, decision-making, school infrastructure, teamwork and educational creativity. Suggestions for future research are discussed in more detail.

The integration of mobile technology is not a new thing nowadays. It became increasingly applied after the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world. Teachers need to use mobile technology devices widely to improve teaching effectiveness. This study aimed to explore the elements of teachers' acceptance of mobile technology as a learning alternative. The respondents consisted of 422 teachers in 24 secondary schools around Kedah, Malaysia. The results showed that teachers are impressed to integrate mobile technology based on three dimensions: effort expectancy, hedonic motivation, and habit. This situation reflects teachers' willingness to translate their pedagogical abilities through the medium of technology. It has also recognized that internal motivation and teachers' natural habits are the driving force behind integrating mobile technology as a teaching aid to digital technology. Thus, mobile technology is a trend of daily use and can be utilized as the most advanced pedagogical material to go through learning in the 21st century.

Praktis kepimpinan distributif merupakan keperluan dalam sistem pendidikan, kerana guru dan pemimpin sekolah dapat mewujudkan kerjasama dan interaksi bagi meningkatkan pencapaian pelajar. Kajian mengenai kepimpinan distibutif ini masih lagi di peringkat awal dan perlu diperbanyakkan. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti hubungan antara kepimpinan distributif dengan komitmen guru berdasarkan kohort generasi di sekolah menengah kebangsaan. Kajian ini menggunakan seramai 298 responden yang terdiri daripada guru dan menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif berbentuk tinjauan keratan rentas. Kajian ini telah menggunakan kerangka teoritikal kepimpinan distributif Spillane (2006) yang telah menghubungkan interaksi antara pemimpin, pengikut dan juga situasi. Kajian ini menggunakan instrumen Distributed Leadership Survey (DLS) oleh Davis (2009), dan juga instrumen Affective, Continuance and Normative Commitment Scales (ACNCS) yang telah dibangunkan oleh Meyer dan Allen (1997). Pemilihan responden adalah berdasarkan kepada pensampelan rawak berstrata tidak mengikut kadar dan juga persampelan bertujuan. Sebanyak tiga hipotesis telah dibina dan diuji dengan menggunakan kaedah statistik ujian korelasi Pearson, ujian-t sampel bebas dan ujian ANOVA menerusi SPSS versi 21. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara kepimpinan distributif dan komitmen guru terhadap organisasi. Dimensi kepimpinan pengetua dan dimensi visi sekolah didapati sangat kerap dipraktiskan di dalam kajian ini. Bagi komitmen terhadap organisasi, didapati dimensi komitmen normatif adalah yang paling tinggi. Tiada perbezaan yang signifikan dalam kepimpinan distributif dengan komitmen guru berdasarkan kohort generasi dan juga jantina guru. Berdasarkan kepada dapatan kajian ini, adalah dicadangkan agar pemimpin sekolah dapat menyebarluaskan kepimpinan kepada guru di samping berkongsi visi sekolah yang jelas dan mudah difahami oleh warga sekolah, tanpa mengira jantina dan kohort generasi.

Students are the backbone to future leadership and the catalyst for the success of a country. Hence, student leadership with high self-resilience should be shaped and built as early as possible. Student leaders with low self-resilience will portray negative feelings and not able to play a full role. To identify student leadership practices and their relationship with national secondary school students’ resilience in the eastern zone states of Malaysia, this quantitative survey study used questionnaires adapted from the inventory of student leadership practices (S-LPI) to measure the dimensions of student leadership on 394 students selected through cluster random sampling while a self-resilience questionnaire was used to measure students’ level of self-resilience. Using the statistical package for social science (SPSS) version 26 for descriptive data and partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM 3) for inferential statistics, the results showed that the dimensions of inspire a shared vision, challenge a processes and enable to act were dimensions of student leadership practices that had significantly affected self-resilience while student leadership practices with flexible, orderly self-resilience and prioritizing social relationships in organizations were factors for shaping future leaders.
