Abstract

According to recent literature that relates to organizational leadership, transformational leadership consists of three important elements: idealized influence, individual consideration and intellectual stimulation. Extant studies in this area highlighted that the ability of the leaders in implementing these transformational processes (to execute organizational functions) may have a significant impact on individual outcome especially organizational commitment. Although this relationship has been studied, the mediating role of transformational leadership has taken a less prominent role in organizational leadership model. Recent studies on organizational leadership have emphasized that transformational leadership has three important characteristics: idealized influence, individual consideration and intellectual stimulation. The purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of empowerment in the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational commitment; by using 77 usable questionnaires gathered from employees who worked at a foreign manufacturing company in Free Trade Zone, Malaysia. Results of SmartPLS path model analysis confirm that empowerment does act as an important mediating variable in the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational commitment in the organizational sample. In the succeeding sections, discussion, implications and conclusion are elaborated.

Abstract

This study was conducted primarily to measure the relationship between career program, career development and personal outcomes using self-administered questionnaires gathered from employees who have worked at a Sabah local government in Borneo. The outcomes of testing research hypothesis using a stepwise regression analysis showed two important findings: firstly, relationship between career program (i.e., planning and management) and career development positively and significantly correlated with job satisfaction. Secondly, relationship between career program (i.e., planning and management) and career development positively and significantly correlated with career commitment. Statistically, the result demonstrates that career development does act as an important mediating variable in the relationship between career program and personal outcomes in the career program model of the studied organization. The paper provides discussion, implications and conclusion.

Abstract

Research Aims - According to the present research concerning organizational training, managers’ communication are often seen as a critical training management issue that may help to maintain and enhance organizational competitiveness and performance in a borderless world and era of globalization. In this study, the relationship between managers’ communication, motivation to learn and training application was evaluated at military hospitals in Peninsular Malaysia. Design/methodology/approach - The SmartPLS path model analysis was utilized to examine the research hypotheses and evaluate the validity and reliability of instrument used. Research Findings - The results demonstrate that the capability of managers to communicate the training courses information will strongly invoke employees’ motivation to learn. Theoretical Contribution/Originality - As a result, this motivation may lead to an improved training application in a military health context. Managerial Implication in the South East Asian context - Managers play a critical role in dissemination of the organisation’s aspiration to the rank and file. Research limitation & Implications - The conclusion of this study should be taken carefully with some methodological and conceptual limitations.

Abstract

Research Aims - This study was undertaken to extend existing literature by examining the mediating effect of trust in supervisors in the relationship between perceived interactional fairness in reward systems and organizational commitment. Design/methodology/approach - The SmartPLS method was applied to analyze the survey questionnaire data collected from employees at a national audit department in Malaysia. Research Findings - The results reveal that the effect of perceived interactional fairness in reward systems on organizational commitment is mediated by trust in supervisors. Theoretical Contribution/Originality - This study has proved the effectiveness of perceived interactional fairness as an essential mediating variable in the administration of reward systems. Managerial Implication in the South East Asian context - The findings of this study could help superiors in public organizations to encourage and support their supervisors in implementing good treatment styles for enhancing fairness in making pay decisions and interacting with diverse subordinates. If employees trust their supervisors, it may enhance the effect of employees’ perceived fairness of reward systems on organizational commitment in public organizations in Southeast Asia. Research limitation & implications - This study is limited by its sample, self-report questionnaire scale, and exclusion of several important demographic variables (e.g., gender, age, education, position, and duration of service) in the research model.

Abstract

Research Aims: This study aims to examine the influence of social support on training transfer and investigate the mediating effect motivation to improve work through learning has on this relationship. Design/Methodology/Approach: This study used a quantitative design, utilising a cross-sectional survey via self-administered questionnaires, with experienced firefighters as respondents. Out of the 500 questionnaires received, 395 were valid responses and were further analysed using statistical analyses, such as confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling. Research Findings: While peer support is a strong driver of training transfer, supervisor support has no significant influence on training transfer. Also, motivation to improve work through learning mediates the effect of social support on training transfer. Ample support from supervisors and peers to employees at work enhances employees’ motivation to improve work through learning and leads to applying the acquired knowledge, skills and abilities. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: This study provides evidence that human resource administrators should enhance the social support provided to employees to ensure that the new knowledge, skills and abilities acquired via training programmes are utilised on the job. Managerial Implications in the South East Asian Context: Social support is critical in public or private organisations. Adequate support to employees is needed to enable employees to benefit from the newly acquired knowledge, skills and attitudes gained through training. However, social support alone is insufficient without considering employees’ motivation to improve performance. Employees’ motivation to improve work through learning must be emphasised when promoting positive training transfer in organisations. Research Limitation & Implications: The cross-sectional approach and single informant limit the generalisability of the findings. Since the present study sample was drawn from one country and a single organisation, future studies could replicate the research in other countries and various organisation types to enrich the findings.

Abstract

This study was conducted to measure the mediating effect of distributive justice on the relationship between pay level, pay structure, and job commitment. A survey research method was used to gather 194 usable questionnaires from academic staff of 15 Malaysian public community colleges (MPCC). Outcomes of testing mediating model using a stepwise regression analysis showed that distributive justice has increased the effect of pay design features (i.e., pay level and pay structure) on job commitment. This result confirms that distributive justice does act as a full mediating variable in the pay design models of the organizational sector sample. In addition, implications of this study to compensation theory and practice, methodological and conceptual limitations, as well as directions for future research are discussed.

Abstract

Research Aims: This study examines the mediating effect of psychological empowerment on the relationship between transformational leadership and employee creativity in a financial organisation in Peninsular Malaysia. Design/Methodology/Approach: Quantitative methods were employed in this study. Two hundred questionnaires were distributed to employees of Islamic financial institutions in Malaysia. Of these, only 153 questionnaires were usable. Random sampling and partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) techniques were utilised in data analysis. Research Findings: The results of the analysis showed that psychological empowerment had an indirect effect on the impact of transformational leadership on employee creativity in the organisation under study. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: The result aligned with Spreitzer's (1995) concept of self-motivation through increasing self-esteem and modifying resilience, which promotes motivational behaviour in organisations. Managerial Implication in the South East Asian Context: Transformational leadership has been shown to be effective in addressing crises in organisational management. Leadership that applies this concept is able to sustain the organisation and its competitiveness over time, especially in Asia. Research Limitation & Implications: During the duration of this research, the data were collected only once. The sample for this study was obtained from a single organisation, and the only method used to collect data was a questionnaire. In times of globalisation and economic turmoil, practitioners can use the findings of this study to practice transformational leadership to sustain and support the vision and mission of an organisation.

Abstract

Research Aims: This study examined the relationship between leaders’ support and trainees’ learning outcomes and the relationship between leaders’ support, trainees’ motivation for learning, and trainees’ motivation for using on-job training. Design/Methodology/Approach: A cross-sectional research design was employed to collect 226 self-report questionnaires from employees at military healthcare organisations in Peninsular Malaysia. The SmartPLS was used to assess the quality of the measurement model and test the structural model. Research Findings: This study confirmed that trainees’ motivation for learning is an essential mediating construct in the relationship between leaders’ support and trainees’ motivation for using on-job training. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: This study disclosed that trainees’ motivation for learning can indirectly affect the relationship between leaders’ support and trainee’s motivation to use on-job training. This outcome was consistent with and extended the prior studies conducted in Southeast Asia and other countries. Managerial Implication in the South East Asian context: The findings can help leaders understand the multidimensional perspectives of trainees’ motivation for learning construct and the importance of leaders and members at various hierarchical levels to maintain and enhance their organisational performance and competitiveness in 21st-century globalisation and uncertainty economy. Research Limitations & Implications: Methodological and conceptual constraints must be considered to improve future studies.

Abstract

Perkembangan bahasa Arab di negara Timur Tengah terus berkembang sesuai dengan perkembangan kebudayaan, sehingga Bahasa Arab terbagi atas beberapa corak. Akibatnya siswa Indonesia yang ingin meneruskan studinya ke negara Timur Tengah akan menghadapi berbagai kesulitan. Inilah salah satu sebab kenapa tidak banyak mahasiswa Indonesia memperoleh ijazah stara dua dan tiga dari berbagai universitas di Timur Tengah. Sementara itu, juga terdapar dinamika perbedaan bentuk pengajaran bahasa Arab dalam lingkungan lembaga pendidikan di Indonesia. Seperti bentuk pengajaran bahasa Arab di dayah/pesantren terfokus pemahaman teks kitab klasik, sementara di madrasah dilakukan dengan bahasa Indonesia dan di dayah modern, terintegrasi pada empat aspek kemahiran bahasa. Untuk mengatasi kesulitan bagi siswa atau mahasiswa khususnya siswa atau mahasiswa Indonesia dalam belejar dan menguasai bahasa Arab, maka ada beberapa hal yang harus diterapkan oleh unsur-unsur utama pendidikan, seperti tenaga pendidik, pimpinan, siswa, dan stakeholdern, yaitu pembaharuan metode pembelajaran bahas Arab dengan memadukan empat kermahiran berbahasa, bobot pengajaran mata pelajaran bahasa Arab perlu ditambah, materi yang diajarkan harus selalu disesuaikan dengan perkembangan bahasa Arab di negara Timur Tengah, mengelola lingkungan bahasa Arab yang kondusif.
