Abstract

HRM practices and policies significantly influence employee satisfaction levels and turnover intentions. Organizations prioritize job satisfaction for employees, as human resources significantly impact growth and competitiveness, making them stand out from the competition. The study examined the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intention in the public education sector, examining factors such as work-life balance, job security, career growth, reward, and emotional intelligence. In this study, the convenient sampling, a non-probability sampling method, was employed to efficiently collect data. A total of 201 questionnaires were created and distributed to public educators in the Federal Territory of Putrajaya. The data was analyzed using SPSS software to determine if there were significant differences between the variables. All hypotheses (H1-H5) were supported and this research enhances theoretical understanding, fills knowledge gaps, and serves as a foundation for future research in organizational behaviour and human resource management. This study provides insights for developing and reshaping policies on work-life balance, job satisfaction, career growth, rewards, recognition, and emotional intelligence.

Abstract

This study examines the role of Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (Early Childhood Education – PAUD) teachers and families in implementing religious moderation-based education in Bengkulu City, as well as to identify the challenges encountered in both school and family environments. The research employed a mixed-methods approach, utilizing interviews and questionnaires distributed to PAUD teachers. The findings reveal that teachers' theoretical understanding of religious moderation remains limited, although some values are indirectly applied in classroom practices. Supporting and inhibiting factors include the family environment, lack of training, and the absence of a specific moderation-based curriculum. This study recommends structured teacher training and strengthened collaboration between schools and families to instill religious moderation values from an early age.

Abstract

In a business organization, diverse individuals with specific roles are crucial for operations and growth, and MSMEs are predominant in the Malaysian economy. There is a significant gap in empirical research regarding the combined effects of authoritative and micromanaging leadership on employee engagement and retention in business organizations. While individual studies exist on each leadership style, their joint impact in dynamic organizational contexts is still not well understood. The study aims to analyze the effects of authoritative and micromanaging leadership styles on employee engagement and retention in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia, where SMEs represent a significant portion of businesses. This study employed an online survey with a structured questionnaire, resulting in a purposeful sample of 121 participants. This survey gathers information from ten SMEs across various sectors, including sales and marketing, information technology, investment, investment holdings, travel, entertainment, and social enterprise. There are seven hypotheses in this study. Four hypotheses are accepted, while three are rejected. These findings indicate that in the sampled SMEs, authoritative leadership behaviors alone do not sufficiently increase employees' emotional involvement or long-term commitment. Organizations should reduce micro-management and adopt leadership practices that foster trust, autonomy, and open communication. Management needs to focus on engagement-oriented leadership development, encourage delegation, and establish supportive work environments to enhance employee engagement, which is crucial for long-term retention and organizational stability.

Abstract

The gig economy is crucial to Malaysia's labor market, notably in the Klang Valley, where gig workers significantly contribute to sectors like e-hailing and food delivery. Improved career satisfaction among these workers enhances global economic growth and productivity. The issue of inequality between formal and informal gig workers is increasingly recognized, highlighting the growing vulnerability of gig workers. The study focuses on factors affecting career satisfaction, including income, job security, social protection, and the working environment. The study uses a quantitative, descriptive approach grounded in assessing career satisfaction among gig workers. It analyzed survey data from 394 participants through SPSS, based on a non-probability convenience sampling method. A sample size of 394 was determined from an estimated population of 10,000 gig workers in Klang Valley, achieving a response rate of 98.5% at a 95% confidence level. Income stability (H1: t=6.256; p <0.001), job security (H2: t=3.390; p <0.001), social protections (H3: t=2.603; p=0.010) and supportive work environment (H4: t=-0.603; p=0.547) is a significant factor in career satisfaction. The Self-Employment Social Security Scheme (Act 789) has notably influenced the social protection of gig workers in Malaysia since 2017, offering valuable insights for policymakers and industry stakeholders to enhance career satisfaction and well-being, thus fostering sustainable growth in the gig economy.

Abstract

The Malaysian public sector is experiencing rapid digitalization, necessitating the development of high digital proficiency among middle managers. Digital proficiency refers to the ability of an individual to consume, utilize, manage, and create digital content using digital technology. In the context of rapid digital transformation within the MPS, the primary challenge is to identify the factors that enhance digital proficiency and their effects on middle managers. The study aims to examine the relationship between digital proficiency and factors like self-efficacy, digital organizational culture, digital infrastructure, and digital training among middle managers in the Malaysian Public Service. The study utilized a non-probability convenience sampling method, involving 287 middle managers from the public sector who participated in the survey through Google Form. Data is analyzed using SPSS software for descriptive statistics, reliability, variable correlation, multiple regression, ANOVA, and multicollinearity assessment. Self-efficacy (H1: β = 0.763, t = 20.27, p < 0.001), organizational culture (H2: β = 0.089, t = 2.13, p = 0.034), digital infrastructure (H3: β = 0.082, t = 2.06, p = 0.040) is a supported factor in digital proficiency. and digital training and development (H4: β = 0.016, t = 0.40, p = 0.692) is not supported factor in digital proficiency. The MyDigital Blueprint policy is a framework that outlines the strategies for digital transformation in the Malaysian public sector.
