As integration of Theory Z and Fiedler’s Contingency Theory in leadership, this study proposed a new model to reveal the underlying mechanism of psychological elements such as leadership practices, teacher empowerment, and teachers’ workplace wellbeing towards teachers’ organizational commitment (TOC). Despite the relevance of contextual leadership practices (CLP) and teachers’ emotion in school effectiveness, little is known about the implication, specifically on TOC. Data were gathered from a sample of 371 secondary school teachers selected by multi-stage random sampling method from one of the states in Malaysia and structural equation modelling was employed to assess the proposed model. Results using Structural Equation Modeling confirmed that these psychological elements directly and positively influence TOC. Additionally, teacher empowerment (TE) and teachers’ workplace wellbeing (TWW) as serial mediators significantly explained the indirect relationship sequentially. Findings provide an evidence of how a novel and comprehensive model can be practiced to enhance TOC through a serial mechanism as proposed by the integration of Theory Z and Fiedler’s Contingency Theory in leadership.

The purpose of this study is to look at the effect of customers' perceptions of COVID-19 susceptibility and severity on their m-payment confirmation, which leads to satisfaction and hence a continuance intention to use m-payment. An online questionnaire was used to conduct a survey on m-payment users to investigate the variables impacting their intention to continue using m-payment. Only experienced m-payment users were qualified to participate in this survey, and thus a purposive sampling technique was used. The data was collected between September and October 2021, and the sample includes 184 valid responses for empirical data analysis. The results show that all hypotheses are found to be significant. Perceived susceptibility and severity have a positive impact on confirmation and, in turn, user satisfaction. It is also found that attitude and satisfaction have an association with continuance intention. From the theoretical perspective, it provides a better understanding of the impact of perceived susceptibility and perceived severity on continuance intention of m-payment. At the practical level, the findings give a deeper insight into the influence of antecedent factors on m-payment continuance intention and its ability to retain users. This study regards perceived susceptibility and perceived severity as critical factors in user confirmation of the benefit of m-payment as the financial technology alternative to maintain social distance and to prevent the spread of the SARS-COV-2 virus during the pandemic. Perceived susceptibility and perceived severity were incorporated into the Technology Continuance Theory (TCT) to expand the knowledge of the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on m-payment continuance intention.

This paper aims to explore the potential of cash waqf-based crowdfunding as a source to obtain funds for single mother entrepreneurs. It has been discovered that single mothers are physically, emotionally, and financially struggling to support their lives and perhaps their families. Based on the library research, this study applies the inductive approach and descriptive method in analysing with related works of literature. The finding acknowledges that crowdfunding is frequently argued as a viable alternative to traditional financial institutions. Nevertheless, this approach appears to be different for single mother entrepreneurs, also known as micro-enterprises, because the majority of them lack training, skills and management for attracting investors to support their business. As a result, the findings proposed a unique model of cash waqf-based crowdfunding fund for single mother entrepreneurs. Although this study is based on library research, its findings may not be applicable in terms of the theoretical aspects. Meanwhile, it still creates valuable contributions in accordance of developing a practical model of Islamic crowdfunding particularly cash waqf-based for single mother entrepreneurs in Malaysia. The special model of Islamic crowdfunding that is proposed by this study can potentially support single mother entrepreneurs, if it is applied to a real platform that may reduce the burden of the government bureaucracy because most of them lack financial constraints. Furthermore, this study expands the potential for the application of cash waqf-based crowdfunding as a practical solution for single mother entrepreneurs in Malaysia. Although Islamic crowdfunding is not a new research topic and applications of Islamic crowdfunding as a tool, empirical studies in this area are still limited, specifically investigating the use of Islamic crowdfunding. Despite the fact that this study is conceptual, it provides a practical model which can be utilised as a crowdfunding tool to empower entrepreneurs, especially single mothers.

The research is the first of its kind that is aimed at finding the effect that leads SMEs’ not to survival since before the emerging of the global pandemic, which is the coronavirus that takes the life of million-plus across the world and also take over the jobs of more than five million individuals, which needed assistant. Many businesses collapse as the result of the pandemic which jobs were lost. The research focuses on analyzing the situation that leads to business bankruptcy SMEs contributed to the national and global economy as well as looking at the possible ways of overcoming the SME’s difficulties through government and private sector investments. Twenty (20) business owners both large and small and medium enterprise businesses were interviewed in other to find out business owners’ viewpoints and to collect data for the research transcription and analysis. The result shows that even before the arrival of the unprecedented situation that nations find themselves in, some SME’s are facing difficulties in growing their businesses as a result of a lack of business knowledge and orientation which lead to what we called today a business model, while some have the clear picture of their business model plans but lack support from the government as accessing fun to invest in the SME’s business is difficult. The research also gives clear suggestions to business owners and government agencies on how they can help in supporting the SME’s, we also highlight some agendas for future researchers where this research has its own limitations.

Agriculture is the backbone of food production and a key component of a nation’s economic development. Rapid advancements in information technology (IT) have promised significant potential benefits, particularly for developing countries. Numerous prior studies have documented the success of IT applications in agriculture. However, regardless of its success, the transition has created many problems and challenges for farmers. Thus, this conceptual paper of a future study based on the review of literature explored information technology (IT) in agriculture, Resource Based-View (RBV) theory and Dynamic Capabilities (DC) perspectives. Despite the rapid growth of IT in agriculture, the usage and application of IT in this sector remain inadequate due to several issues in managing the area. Therefore, this conceptual paper suggests a model that could explain how the Information Systems (IS) resources of a local farming business in Malaysia are being managed to achieve agriculture productivity along with the perspective of DC. This paper then went on to examine the subject, concepts, and objectives for the upcoming study using a variety of works of literature from several disciplines. The findings of this prospective study may provide insight into how IT management in agriculture might be improved to fully utilise IT potential to boost agricultural productivity.
农业是粮食生产的支柱,是国家经济发展的重要组成部分。信息技术(IT)的快速发展带来了巨大的潜在利益,特别是对发展中国家而言。许多先前的研究记录了信息技术在农业中的成功应用。然而,尽管取得了成功,但转型给农民带来了许多问题和挑战。因此,本文在文献回顾的基础上,探讨了信息技术在农业中的应用、资源基础观(Resource - based view, RBV)理论和动态能力(Dynamic Capabilities, DC)理论。尽管信息技术在农业领域发展迅速,但由于管理方面的一些问题,信息技术在该领域的使用和应用仍然不足。因此,这篇概念性论文提出了一个模型,可以解释马来西亚当地农业企业的信息系统(IS)资源是如何管理的,以实现农业生产力。然后,本文继续使用来自多个学科的各种文献作品来检查即将进行的研究的主题,概念和目标。这项前瞻性研究的结果可能为如何改善农业信息技术管理提供见解,以充分利用信息技术潜力来提高农业生产力。

The role of index is important in chosen to build a new system analysing entrepreneurs' effectiveness for business development based on these characteristics of knowledge, connectivity and network, sustainable development, digital, knowledge, agility, innovativeness, and knowledge. Index statistics' principal function is to simplified potentially complex calculations. It became particularly handy for evaluating a large number of distinct output variable. Most economists can use index approach to determine prices, earnings, output, labour force participation, trade balance, and rising prices. This paper focus on the role of indexes for assessment in business from an involving participation. The professional and technical sectors, as well as the general media, utilise a variety of indexing or index numbers. A comprehensive index is particularly important for specialized texts since readers prefer to search up certain subjects rather than reading the information from beginning to end. This structural characteristic broadens the universe of options while also decoupling risk analysis in the business.

Sustainable food waste management practices at the source are directly dependent on household behavior. A valid and reliable instrument is needed to evaluate the sustainable food waste management (SFWM) research framework. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to propose a new SFWM framework on a pilot scale before starting the main research. A pilot study was conducted to evaluate the survey questionnaire’s usability and reliability. Respondents from 150 urban households in Klang Valley was surveyed using an online survey method. A detailed validation of the study constructs was done through the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), producing a usable final factor structure. The results confirmed the constructs have good reliability based on the Cronbach’s alpha values that ranges from 0.860 to 0.979. The results provide useful information on factors that could affect the behavioral intention of practicing SFWM in people’s daily life and may be adopted by future research on a larger scale. The article contributes to the body of research in this research context by describing the pilot test method and process. A proposed framework that integrates additional variables into a TPB-based theory was used for examining SFWM behavior outcome in a more comprehensive model. Other studies in the field were mostly conducted on food waste reduction behavior, but this study intends to close the gap of households’ intention to manage them sustainably. Besides providing a new framework for SFWM, the need for a pilot study is highlighted to achieve an improved research design, adding to the lack of literature on pilot studies in the sustainable food waste management context.

The objective of this paper is to determine the relationship between the Chief Audit Executive's (CAE) leadership style and senior management support for the internal audit function (IAF) as determinants of IAF quality and corporate governance (CG) effectiveness in Yemeni commercial banks. This article also investigates the extent to which the characteristics of the audit committee (AC) influence the link between CAE leadership style, support senior management for IAF, and CG effectiveness. The data was acquired using questionnaires delivered to respondents in Yemeni commercial banks, of which 158 valid questionnaires were obtained for analysis. Smart PLS 3 was used to analyse the data and test the hypotheses. The PROCESS macro approach was also utilised to evaluate the influence of AC characteristics on the association between CAE leadership style, senior management support for IAF, and CG effectiveness. An affirmative substantial correlation was found between CAE leadership style and senior management support for IAF, and CG effectiveness. Furthermore, the study found that AC characteristics favourably influence the association between CAE leadership style and CG effectiveness. However, AC characteristics do not alter the association between senior management support for the IAF and CG effectiveness. The findings improve the IAF's quality of determinants to enhance CG in developing countries, such as Yemen.

In this paper, we explore the modelling of resiliency among educational leaders which promote to resilient schools. The pandemic has a firmer grip on everybody and batters each of people more physically, mentally, and emotionally. Disruptions and change in daily activities caused by the pandemic have led to uncontrolled feelings of stress. Stress is, however, normal in daily life. It could stimulate creativity, promote diligent and increase performance. As a result, in most studies, the key to coping strategy is positive thinking which inhibit self-development. It is between being good stress and being positive thinking. They could have the best of intentions of spending their time on issues that matter most. The high performing head teachers have sustainable work done and they find ways to develop the resilience to focus their work from distractions. Resiliency is an absolute must keep people engaged, passionate, and committed to achieve challenging situations. This study lighted up effective ways on courage to support others. This study explored resilient factors and challenges of seven of high performing head teachers and two expertise from a few states in Malaysia. Based on the data collected through semi-structured interviews the study seeks to identify the positive relationship between resilience and positive school outcomes. The findings would provide useful ideas for head teachers in primary schools and future researchers. The concept associated to the leaders’ need to help resilient leaders thrive as individuals and as leaders in educational leaders’ resiliency.
