Abstract

The increase of electronic gadgets and appliances has led to a higher amount of mobile electronic waste (e-waste). Despite that, the awareness among Malaysian users regarding mobile e-waste recycling remains deficient. Our reviews clearly show that users’ awareness on mobile e-waste recycling is to assess their understanding and knowledge level based on the Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices (KAP) model proposed by Schwartz (1976). Further, mobile e-waste recycling intention and motivation is closely linked to an individual’s environmental mindset, incentive strategies, environmental education, convenience and disposal cost. Additionally, Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) have introduced various methods, platforms and practices on mobile e-waste recycling. There is no clear review of mobile e-waste recycling among Malaysian users, driving this study conducts a review of Malaysian users’ awareness and perception, intention, motivations, methods and platforms on mobile e-waste recycling. This study helps the policy makers to enhance information dissemination of mobile e-waste and support Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) namely clean water and sanitation (goal 6), sustainable cities and communities (goal 11), responsible production and consumption (goal 12). This study helps to detect the limitations of the Malaysian users on advancing awareness for more sustainable mobile e-waste recycling.

Abstract

In today’s digital age, digital literacy has emerged as a vital skill that shapes employability and workforce preparedness. The research examines the impact of digital literacy on employability among employees in Malaysia and Indonesia through a quantitative methodology and purposive sampling. Data were collected from 469 participants (238 Malaysians and 231 Indonesians) via structured questionnaires. Results show that nationality does not significantly moderate the link between digital literacy and employability, suggesting that perceptions of these constructs are consistent in both countries. This finding implies that initiatives to improve digital literacy can be applied similarly across these contexts. The study highlight the consistent relationship between digital literacy, employability, and related factors such as media literacy and perceived ease of use across different nationalities. For managers, policymakers, educators, and corporate trainers, this suggests that standardized frameworks may be effective in fostering digital skills and employability, supporting a cohesive regional strategy.

Abstract

As part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, reduced inequalities (SDG Goal 10) are essential for attaining sustainable development through an all-encompassing and integrated approach, with cooperative effects from organisations and academic institutions. This study intends to examine the influencing factors on firm engagement with reduced inequalities, which is Goal 10 from the SDGs. Thus, employee engagement, corporate culture and adoption of artificial intelligence, are adopted as the variables that would affect firm engagement with reduced inequalities.

Abstract

This research investigates the impact of cognitive aspects and AI attributes on the continued adoption of AI-powered mobile banking applications in Malaysia. It examines the relatively recent incorporation of AI into Malaysian mobile banking and the extent to which age influences user intentions. A total of 398 participants were surveyed, with data analysis conducted using SPSS. The results indicate that factors such as perceived usefulness, ease of use, enjoyment, and intelligence significantly contribute to users' continued engagement with AI-enabled banking apps, with age playing a moderating role. However, perceived anthropomorphism did not have a statistically significant effect on user intention, nor did age significantly moderate the connection between perceived intelligence and continuance intention. The study’s findings aim to enhance AI-enabled banking applications, fostering a more user-friendly and satisfying experience across different age groups. These insights provide valuable direction for software developers and financial institutions aiming to optimize user satisfaction and engagement with AI-powered mobile banking systems.

Abstract

In recent years, the consumption of healthy foods, particularly organic options, has emerged as a key factor in driving sustainable transformation. However, the rising global population, increasing incomes, and urbanization have intensified concerns over food security due to the depletion of natural resources. To address these challenges, governments and businesses have introduced strategies such as adopting innovative, efficient, and cost-effective technologies to enhance agricultural productivity. Despite these efforts, food insecurity remains a significant issue for low-income households in developing countries, including Malaysia and Indonesia. This study aims to explore the influence of trust, food neophobia, perceived benefits, perceived risks, and perceived naturalness on consumer acceptance of edible insects in Malaysia and Indonesia. Data was collected through purposive sampling from 388 respondents, comprising 288 Malaysians and 100 Indonesians, using a structured questionnaire. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis was conducted using SPSS to test the proposed relationships. The findings reveal that trust (in the individual endorsing the product), perceived benefits, perceived naturalness, and food neophobia significantly affect consumer acceptance of edible insects. Moreover, nationality moderated the relationship between perceived risks and perceived benefits, with these factors having a stronger impact on Malaysian and Indonesian consumers. This study contributes to the understanding of consumer behavior in the emerging edible insect market and provides valuable insights for businesses and professionals to develop more effective marketing strategies aimed at increasing demand for edible insect-based food products.

Abstract

In the era of Big Data, data obtained cannot be responded to only by traditional storage devices. Relatively low-cost and flexible cloud platforms can be used to meet the demand of insufficient database capacity. This is an important part of the current enterprise's deployment of digital transformation. However, no matter how technology evolves, huge data still needs to rely on manual processing and proofreading before it can be stored in the cloud database for future re-application and sharing. A major challenge for an enterprise is whether the information technology tools configured by the enterprise can effectively store and retrieve data quickly and correctly through the cloud data sharing platform to meet its operational needs. If the enterprise can configure a set of corresponding information technology tools to increase the processing capacity of big data, it can naturally improve the internal efficiency of the enterprise, maximize its output value and gain market competitive advantage. In order to understand whether the claims application system currently configured by life insurance companies has sufficient cloud big data processing capabilities, whether it can improve the efficiency of internal operations of the enterprise, and whether its application can meet the needs of claims adjusters, etc., this study uses task-technology fit model (TTF) is used as the theoretical basis and computer self-efficacy is introduced as a pre-factor. The questionnaire statistics "life insurance claims department personnel who have used the claims application system for more than three months" are satisfied with the currently configured information technology tools, and degree and reuse intention to explore current use issues of this technology tool. According to the research results, although there is a significant difference in the relationship between computer self-efficacy and satisfaction, only 8.4% of the explanatory power is negatively correlated. Although the explanatory power is not high and there is not much correlation with user experience, it can be seen that the usability of this system still needs to be improved; However, the results of other studies have a positive impact; However, further analysis of variance conducted by ANOVA found that individuals aged 26 to 35 were less satisfied with the claims application system than those aged 56 and above. This indicates that the claims application system tools currently configured by insurance companies have a negative impact on individuals aged 26 to 35, and the conclusion is consistent with the recent observed age group of resignations. It can be seen that unsuitable systems are also one of the factors leading to an increase in their turnover rate. It is hoped that this research result can serve as a reference for companies to improve in the future to facilitate talent retention.
