This study examines the relationship between career planning and job satisfaction of Armed Forces personnel in Malaysia. It determines the mediating effect of career development on the relationship between career planning and job satisfaction. This study was conducted because there is negligible attention given to the effects of career planning and career development on job satisfaction, mainly in the Malaysian Armed Forces context. The IBM Social Science Statistical Package (IBM SPSS) application was used in the data analysis using descriptive and inferential analysis. The outcomes displayed three important findings: First, the significant relationship between career planning and job satisfaction. Second, the relationship between career development and job satisfaction was significant. Third, the result statistically confirms that the effect of career planning on job satisfaction is indirectly affected by career development in the organisational sample. Further, the study discusses the contributions and recommendations based on the significant findings. In conclusion, the career planning among Malaysian Armed Forces personnel should be explained and aligned with their career development since it will affect their job satisfaction and increase their work performance in national defence and security.

The study comparatively analysed university students’ preference for smartphone brands based on demographic profiles such as gender, age, and usage experience. The study also established whether a significant difference exists in students’ preference for three selected brands of smartphones. The study employed a cross-sectional research design. The study population comprised undergraduate students in a Federal government-owned university in Edo State, Nigeria. The administration and retrieval of the questionnaire used for the study were done electronically via Google Form which was voluntarily filled and submitted by the students. A total of three hundred and ninety (390) responses were received after two weeks of the exercise. Data collected were descriptively analysed using frequency counts and percentages while inferential statistics such as t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were conducted to establish the influence of the different demographic profiles on the students’ preference for smartphone brands. The study found that students’ gender, age and usage experience did not significantly influence their preference for a smartphone. It was also found that Apple and Samsung brands were preferred to Tecno by most of the students. The study concluded that demographic profiles such as gender, age and user experience should not serve as the basis for smartphone manufacturers to differentiate their products but they should sustain and possibly improve their products’ durability, camera quality, long-lasting battery and impressive aesthetic appearance among others.

ABSTRACT Increasing speed and complexity of change make employee well-being and learning vital. This study examines the influence of sustainable leadership on employee learning as mediated by green organizational culture, employee empowerment and affective well-being. Questionnaire data were gathered from respondents from most states in the United States working in different organizations and industries. Findings show that sustainable leadership, green organizational culture, and empowerment positively influence employee learning. Sustainable leadership and green organizational culture had the strongest path coefficients and total effects. Most relationships involving affective well-being were weak or not significant, possibly reflecting effects of the intensive phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. Results are discussed and future research is suggested. Keywords Sustainable leadership, green organizational culture, empowerment, affective well-being, employee learning.

Creativity is a psychological phenomenon mainly affected by the motivation of employees. Nonetheless conflicting results can befound in the literature for the link between intrinsic motivationcreativity relationship. The purpose of this research is to reinvestigatethis inconsistent relationship. We took a technological perspective to determine whether technology had an answer to this question. We conducted a laboratory experiment with 119 newly hired bankers of the same batch in four different training sessions to generatecreative ideas to solve business problems. Here, intrinsic motivation and digital-technology-use were both manipulated, independently. For field study, data was collected from 467 employees and their respective 41 supervisors working at a software house in Pakistan. Using lab and field data in two studies, we analysed data with Mplus for random coefficient models. We also performed a satorra-bentlerdifference test, using the log-likelihood method with scaling correction factor. Drawing on the motivation-opportunity-ability framework for intrinsic motivation-creativity relationship, we found that knowledge integration ability enhances the potential of employees to generate creative ideas. Based on a lab experiment and a field study, we found that creativity is contingent upon the technological opportunity provided to employees directly and indirectly by affecting their ability to integrate knowledge. Our research suggests that providing employees with relevant technological tools and ensuring utilisation of these technologies will fuel higher levels of employee creativity. Technological initiatives will help struggling economies to boost their creative potential. This research has made a significant contribution by bringing together creativity and digital technology literature.

Kajian ini dilaksanakan untuk mengkaji perhubungan antara sokongan pengurusan dengan pemindahan latihan serta mengenal pasti peranan kesedaran pembelajaran sebagai pengantara dalam perhubungan tersebut. Kaedah kaji selidik digunakan untuk mendapatkan hasil dapatan kajian sebanyak 283 borang daripada para pekerja di sektor awam Malaysia. Perisian SmartPLS digunakan untuk menilai kualiti data dan seterusnya menguji hipotesis kajian. Dapatan pengujian model persamaan struktur mengesahkan bahawa perhubungan antara sokongan pengurusan dengan pemindahan latihan adalah dipengaruhi secara tidak langsung oleh kesedaran pembelajaran. Seterusnya, kajian ini mengemukakan perbincangan, implikasi, dan kesimpulan kajian. ABSTRACT This study was conducted to measure the relationship between management support and transfer of training as well as to identifythe role of learning awareness as a mediator in the relationship. A survey using questionnaires was employed to collect data from 283employees of the Malaysian public sector. SmartPLS package was used to assess the quality of data and to test the research hypotheses. The outcome of the structural equation modelling test confirmed the relationship between management support and transfer of training which was indirectly affected by learning awareness. This was followed by a discussion of the study, implications, and conclusion.
