Abstract

In the recent time, the Internet is being used as the main source to provide us information and has been vastly exploited for our own convenience. It can be seen as a mean to provide us fun and pleasure with unlimited opportunities. Hence, online shopping is an action or activity of purchasing goods and services through the Internet. This includes people going online, logging in to a shopping website, purchasing goods and services and arranging for delivery. Besides that, the buyer either pays with credit or debit card or through third party online transfer or cash on delivery for the goods and services. The research emphasizes on factors affecting students’ perception of online shopping. It focuses on the following variables such as convenience, ease of use, usefulness, privacy and security and saves money, time and effort as the main factors in affecting a student to pursue with online purchases. The theoretical foundations for this study are Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). A total of 200 respondents from a private university in Malaysia participated in this research. Samples were selected using convenience sampling and the respondents answered the questionnaire via Google form and paper and pencil method. A nominal scale and Five-point Likert scale was used to design the questions in the questionnaire. Data analysis methods used in this research were Descriptive Analysis, Reliability Analysis and Multiple Regression Analysis. The data collected and also information in this research are highly beneficial and valuable to students, supervisors, academics, researchers, learning institutions, business organisations and the government as we are able to gauge and understand the factors affecting students’ perception on online shopping. However, there are some limitations as this research does not reflect the actual student population in tertiary education in Malaysia and it only focuses on four variables i.e. convenience, ease of use, usefulness, privacy and security and saves money, time and effort. There are several possibilities for future researches whereby one can focus more on other influencing factors such as trust, risk, complexity, pervasive technology usage, tech savvy future generations and many more.

Abstract

Within this research, we want to study if personality traits will be the significant predictors for entrepreneurial intention. Based on our literature surveys, which showed that personality traits are found significantly linked to entrepreneurial intention in developed countries, we want to focus on four personality traits: (1). self-efficacy, (2). needs for achievement, (3). locus of control, and (4). tolerance for risk. We collected the data from total of 200 university students in Malaysia through a self-administered questionnaire, and later analyzed using SEM PLS 3.0. We found that self-efficacy, locus of control, and tolerance for risk are indeed significant predictors, even though the need for achievement is not. Comparatively, a small sample size may lead to generalization issues, self-report bias, and cross-sectional design considered the main limitations of this study. We also revealed that tolerance for risk is the most influential factor in the entrepreneurial intention among university students. Thus, our finding contributes to the scholarly literature on entrepreneurship study in Malaysia, and provides some recommendation for universities to encourage and support entrepreneurship among students.

Abstract

This study is a preliminary study of factors affecting the mental health of Malaysian students during the Covid19 pandemic. Mental health can be a major public health issue for students worldwide, with up to 20% of the population suffering from some form of mental illness. Malaysia accounts for about 30% of global suicides, and other mental disorders are much more common than in other countries. Many students said the lockdown made them emotionally distressed. Symptoms of stress, anxiety, loneliness, and depression intensified after the COVID-19 crisis and confirmed that a lack of friendship can lead to depression, anxiety and stress. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to supplement the existing literature by examining the psychological stress experienced by Malaysian university students during the Covid19 lockdown. This study which focuses on economic problem, quarantine, change in sleep pattern, the impact of social media and fear and anxiety for personal and family as independents variables gauges them as the influencing factors for the University students’ mental health in Malaysia. With a total of 200 respondents, the data was analysed through a cross sectional, convenience sampling using SPSS concluded that only change in sleep pattern and the fear and anxiety for personal and family health were significant factors in influencing students’ mental health during Covid-19. This study is expected to help policy makers and practitioners design appropriate and effective "mental health care" to help reduce anxiety levels in affected students. The results will help understand how to provide appropriate intervention and counselling services to reduce the risk of psychological conditions in Malaysian students during and after the Covid19 pandemic. However, there were several limitations including the inability to get an equal distribution of demographic profiles and lack of commitment to participate in the research.
