Abstract

This paper aims at proposing a framework for productive aging among those aged 45-plus or retiree via entrepreneurial initiatives, known as ‘silver entrepreneurs’. Evidence has shown that the number of Malaysians aged population is estimated to be more than 1.4 million and is projected to increase to 3.3 million in the year 2020 (Mafauzy, 2000). It is acknowledged that a group of these will comprise of professionals who are aged 45-plus and retirees with relevant industry experience as well as knowledge and well-established networks built up over their working careers which will enable them to effectively identify entrepreneurial opportunities and secure resources efficiently to exploit them. However, there is little research on and understanding of what drives these ‘silver entrepreneurs’, with most of the research, focussed on entrepreneurial ventures started by 18-35 year-olds.  This means that policy-makers are ill-equipped to develop specific measures that will assist retirees into a second or sunset career in entrepreneurship.  This research aims to bridge the gap by assessing the profile and motivations of silver entrepreneurs in Malaysia with a specific focus on understanding the internal and external factors that affect their intentions to start new ventures as well as factors that affect the success and growth of these ventures.

Abstract

Fostering “pioneering minds” is extremely important especially in the effort to shift Malaysia towards an innovation-led economy. The Malaysian government is confident of achieving this transformation agenda provided that the human capital is leveraged in ensuring innovation at the highest level.  The primary aim of this research is to investigate the predictors that could nurture the “pioneering minds” by exploring the innovative performance of human capital from the perspective of social embedment and pro-innovativeness organisational architecture which could subsequently lead to excellent organisational performance. This research contributes to the existing literature on human capital and innovation by having better understanding on the specific factors that nurture the “pioneering minds” which are crucial for innovative performance.

Abstract

This paper examines the consequence of the organization internalization on the practice of human resource (HR) outsourcing among manufacturing organizations. The assumption is that HR outsourcing is perceived as an innovative practice and that multinational enterprise (MNEs) will employ this practice more than local organizations. The data was gathered from survey questionnaires of 232 manufacturing organizations. Of the sample, 113 organizations engaged with HR outsourcing, and 71 are MNEs that partially outsource their HR functions. The findings reveal that HR outsourcing among MNEs is used to a greater extent than local organizations. A significant difference is found in the extent of outsourcing payroll, benefits, training and recruitment between MNEs and in local organizations.

Abstract

In the growing digital economy, online shopping presents inherent risks, especially post-pandemic, making consumer trust a critical factor. The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) offers a framework for understanding these dynamics and their impact on consumer behaviour. This study explores how trust mitigates perceived online shopping risks, influencing consumer purchase decisions and intentions. The study uses a quantitative approach, surveying 251 consumers who engaged in online shopping during the pandemic and employing TPB to assess trust's mediating role in reducing perceived risks. The study reveals that financial, product, and security risks negatively affect online purchase intention, while trust significantly mediates these effects, enhancing consumer confidence in digital platforms. E-commerce platforms should build trust by improving security, product quality, transparency, and customer service to reduce perceived risks and drive purchase intention. This study integrates multiple risk dimensions within the TPB framework and highlights trust as a pivotal mediator, particularly in the post-pandemic era.
