Abstract

Value Management (VM) is a multi-disciplinary process, consist of team oriented, structured, analytical process and systematic analysis of function, to seeks best value in the project process and meet the clients needs. While the important of Energy Efficiency (EE) in buildings is a must nowadays because of energy consumption rising very high and this situation occurs not only in developed countries but also in developing countries such as Malaysia. In fact, there is demand towards building with energy efficiency features at this time, however most of the current buildings types are still being constructed with conventional designs thus contribute to inefficient of energy consumption during the operation stage of the building. Based on the relevant literatures, VM has provides an efficient and effective delivery system to fulfil the objectives and clients requirements. Therefore, this paper presents the concept and the application of VM approach and potential to improve energy efficiency within pre-construction process and contribute to better optimize the energy consumption in a building by seeking the best value energy efficiency through the design and construction process.

Abstract

The success of every organization depends highly on the human resources of the organizations. This is where the human resource has the skills, knowledge and competencies required for the execution of organizational strategy and planning. Many HRM studies have indicated positive effect of HR practices on employee performance, but there are some other studies that indicate the otherwise, indicating that the findings of the existing HRM studies are seemingly inconclusive. Equally, most studies are conducted in other contexts other in Libyan context, most especially in the context of Oil and Gas sector. Therefore, this study try to examine the effect of human resource practices (job design, training and development, compensation, performance appraisal and employee participation and communication) on employee performance in the Libyan oil and gas sector. Using the cross-sectional research approach, data were collected from a sample of 100 employees of Waha Oil Company (WOC). Multiple regression analysis technique will be used to test the study’s hypotheses. The results provided support for two out of the five hypotheses. The overall findings signified a positive effect of training development and performance appraisal on employee performance. This indicates that HR practices could have significant effect on performance, but the effect could be altered and modified by the contingent variables. The findings could also imply that the direct relationship between HR practices and performance could contain some mechanisms in-between. Lastly, the implications, limitations and suggestions for future research were discussed.

Abstract

Most of the stakeholders involved in the construction industry, particularly from developing countries have less emphasis on environmental care primarily involves the reuse and recycle of building materials in their construction projects. Previous studies prove environmental aspects have been neglected by the major stakeholders of the construction industry compared with issues related to cost and time. This study focuses on identifying the current adoption level of reuse and recycle practice among Malaysian contractors, the factors that are required for the successful implementation of systematic reuse and recycle and to identify the relationship between the selected factors and systematic implementation of reuse and recycle. The questionnaires were distributed to class A contractors that registered with the Contractor Service Centre (PKK). Currently, most of the contractors are concerned about reuse and recycle of the construction materials.
