The aim of this study is to evaluate the moderating role of audit committee on the relationship between ownership structure and financial reporting quality of listed non-financial firms in Nigeria. The study used annual reports from 41 listed non-financial firms in Nigeria between 2010 to 2021 period. The study used causal research design approach. The analysis was done using descriptive statistics and multiple regression technique using Generalised Method of Moment (GMM). The findings of the study show that there is significant relationship between ownership structure and financial reporting quality and audit committee can effectively moderate their relationship. The study therefore, rejects all the null hypotheses formulated. The implications of the study are that regulators and policy makers, may encourage more shareholders representation in audit committee of listed companies and mandate financial expertise to all audit committee members. The study concludes that presence of institutional, managerial and foreign ownerships as well as sound audit committee are important for improving firms' financial reporting quality. The study therefore, recommends that in order to enhance the reporting quality, management of listed non-financial firms in Nigeria should ensure that they have effective and functional audit committee. The ownership structure should also be strengthened in order to assist in improving financial reporting quality and also improve relevance and reliability of annual reports and make it easier for the stakeholders to make appropriate decisions relevant to their needs.

An organisation with a large workforce from a variety of backgrounds collaborates on various projects with different groups of individuals in order to achieve specific goals. Employers who develop coaching relationships with staff members may create high-quality results. According to this viewpoint, an employee who is receiving excellent training or coaching will be able to interact with the tasks assigned successfully in order to meet the organisational aim. The objective of this study is to examine how managerial coaching, executive coaching, and group coaching relate to work engagement in artificial intelligence during the COVID-19 season. It is obvious that the best coaching methods, including managerial coaching, executive coaching, and group coaching, will boost employee involvement, excitement, drive, and motivation while producing great results. 110 personnel of the artificial intelligence business are involved in this study. For data gathering in this study, a survey was used as a quantitative method. In order to analyse the data for this study, Pearson's correlation coefficient and the Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPPS) version 29.0 were both employed. The findings indicated that executive coaching has a high mean average of 3.96 and a significant link (r=0.856, p=0.01) between executive coaching and work engagement. Despite the study's shortcomings, the empirical findings contribute to our understanding of job engagement and purpose in public organisations. Consequently, training is essential in an organisation.

This paper aims to examine the association between earning manipulation using the Beneish M-Score Model and share price with market capitalisation as the control variable among public listed companies (PLCs) in Malaysia. The study was performed over a four-year period from 2017 to 2020 using the financial data of 65 PLCs under the Financial Times Stock Exchange (FTSE) Bursa Malaysia Top 100 Index, including various industries except the financial service industry. The Beneish M-Score Model comprised eight variables or ratios to identify earning manipulations, namely Days Sales in Receivable Index (DSRI), Gross Margin Index (GMI), Asset Quality Index (AQI), Depreciation Index (DEPI), Sales Growth Index (SGI), Sales, General and Administrative Index (SGAI), Total Accruals to Total Assets (TATA), and Leverage Index (LVGI). The market price was measured using the year-end share price. The findings found that there was a weak negative association as well as a statistically insignificant relationship between earning manipulation and share price, which suggests that earning manipulation is influenced by other factors excluding share price. The findings did not support the argument that there was a significant relationship between earning manipulation and share price where companies had been discovered to have engaged in earning manipulation. The study is crucial for the stakeholders that expect companies to achieve the maximum returns and stability in investments and to protect owners’ rights.

This study considered the tax system structure into tax penalty, tax rate, and tax audit, and then examined their effects on tax compliance behaviour among small and mediumsized enterprises (SMEs) in the manufacturing sector of Yemen. Also, the tax compliance cost in Yemen was considered as a mediating factor in the tax system structure and tax compliance model. The study used a survey questionnaire to collect data based on previous studies. The study empirically found a strong positive and significant association between the tax rate, tax penalty, and tax audit and manufacturing SME tax compliance behaviour in Yemen. Whereas tax compliance cost is negatively related to tax compliance behaviour. For the mediation effect, only the relationship between two factors, that is tax rate and tax penalty with tax compliance behaviour were mediated by of tax compliance costs. While no evidence for the mediating effect of tax compliance costs on the relationship between tax audit and the tax compliance behaviour is found. By referring to Deterrence Theory, this study has contributed by extending the tax literature through a framework that examined tax compliance cost as a mediator in the association between manufacturing SME tax compliance behavior in Yemen and the structure of the Yemeni tax system.

In today's highly competitive market, the packaging of a product is a very important factor in influencing the purchasing decisions of potential buyers. There was an increase in the overall level of competition that existed between the various packaged items. This is due to the fact that the product packaging has a considerable impact on the intention of the buyer to make a purchase. The purpose of this study is to investigate, among students at one of the institutions in Malaysia, the influence that product packaging has on the intention to make a purchase of the product. A quantitative approach was used and a total of 331 respondents who were randomly selected from the populations. This paper used various types of analysis, including descriptive analysis, frequency analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis, were utilised. All analyses were developed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software. The findings demonstrate that all hypotheses were accepted. According to the findings, the colour of the product packaging, the type of material used in the packaging, the design of the packaging, the size and shape of the packaging, and the purchaser's purpose to make a purchase all play a role in the consumer's decision to make a purchase.

Visual merchandising is accorded a substantial amount of importance in the research and practice of current fashion retail today. The conventional reference to a visual stimulus, which was traditionally thought of as a vital component of the ambiance of a retail store, is no longer the primary focus of visual merchandising. Rather, the primary focus of visual merchandising has shifted to a focus on the product itself. In addition to this, it acts as the first unspoken hint in the decision to buy. In light of this, the purpose of the study is to investigate the role that retail virtual merchandise plays in the behaviour of impulse buying. A random sample of 436 people was taken from a variety of fashion retail establishments located in shopping malls for this study. The research indicates that customers' impulse buying intentions are influenced by visual merchandising in the form of window displays, in-store form displays, floor merchandising, and promotional signage. The findings of the study also demonstrated that there is a crucial connection between many types of retail merchandising, including window displays, in-store forms, floor merchandising, and promotional signage. This indicates how vital it is for owners of fashion retail stores to provide their clients with the appropriate store environment and formulate plans to better understand their requirements. As a result, it is essential that the visual stimuli and the atmosphere be useful while also being calming.

The issue of inequality is one that is frequently brought up in conversation in virtually every nation. The problem has been acknowledged for a significant amount of time as one of the most significant and persistent economic and social concerns. In this study, multidimensional inequalities in households in Kompleks Perkampungan Rambong, Baling, Kedah are identified. These inequalities include differences in income, health, education, and well-being. In addition to this, it defines the indicators for each dimension that cover the elements of inequality that are necessary for providing a comprehensive knowledge of household inequality. Nevertheless, challenges need to be conquered during the process of data gathering. One example of such a challenge is the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to the imposition of a mobility control order. The problem of the researcher's ability to penetrate the subject of the study is another obstacle that needs to be overcome. This paper also explored the methodological issues and the difficulties in data collecting that arose in the process of achieving multidimensional assessments of inequality among families.

This study addresses and investigates university students’ engagement and perspectives on utilising online learning in Bangladesh. The goal of this study is to pinpoint the variables that affect students' engagement technologically and socially and to understand the level of students' engagement in an online learning environment. This research used the quantitative method. The respondents to this research were undergraduate and postgraduate students from both private and public universities in Bangladesh, located in different locations. The number of respondents was 201. A structured questionnaire obtained via Google Form was used to determine the level of engagement and understanding of using online learning. SPSS was used to analyse the data that had been gathered. Outcome has demonstrated that the technological factor influences students’ engagement, such as the necessity of a device or gadget. Also, social factors like engagement in classes and mental health issues positively influence students’ engagement in online learning. Overall engagement in online classes is low because there is less communication and assistance from classmates, and students' engagement during online learning is influenced by mental health issues. The self-determination theory has been adopted to represent this study’s variables and also to understand students’ engagement in online learning. This research's recommendations, based on the findings, include the necessity for serious measures to support students' psychological wellbeing and their personal and financial concerns, and that more engagement with classmates should be ensured and improved by the academicians and university authority

Profits are necessary for the survival of every business in the world. However, this could be challenging if the company is unable to bring in new clients or satisfy their requirements, which is especially problematic in a competitive market dominated by enterprises related to vehicles that may be dependent on monthly sales in order to remain in business. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance to establish the factors that influence the intention to purchase a car for transportation. To achieve this goal, a quantitative methodology was applied to this research, and residents living in the central region of Malaysia were given questionnaires to fill out. collected 381 questionnaires, which were then given out to the respondents when they were successfully gathered. Analyses were performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software and Smart Partial Least Square (PLS) software. The measurement and structural model were tested with the use of SPSS and Smart PLS during the demographic analysis that was carried out. Various variables were analysed, including customers’ belief, product quality, brand information, and customers’ perception, that might influence purchase intention. According to the findings of the study, a considerable positive association exists between purchase intention and customers' beliefs, information regarding brands, and perceptions of those brands. The explanation of the current research provides important theoretical and practical value, as well as recommendations for expanding the number of customers who purchase vehicles from car companies.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused the number of unemployed to increase in Malaysia and the issue of unemployment has become a social problem that has always been positively linked to criminal activity. However, the crime index in Malaysia showed a decrease over the period of the Movement Control Order (MCO). This study aims to explore the issue using secondary data taken from various sources such as journals, books, proceedings, and press reports. The results of the study found that the crime index decreased even though the number of unemployed increased because it was in line with the theory of crime opportunity. As the community needs to stay at home during the MCO period, the chances of committing index crime are low because the home as well as property are monitored as well as individuals are not exposed to violent crime. However, the domino effect is non -index crime is reported to increase due to the stress of life that makes the individual is motivated to commit non-index crime. The results of the analysis of this study are expected to help the government, especially the Department of Social Welfare to be more efficient by helping and supporting the victims of non-index crime. The results of this study are also expected to provide an explanation to the community on the question of why the unemployment rate is negatively related to index crime as well as remove the negative impression of the report given by the Royal Malaysian Police (RMP). However, the results of this study are only a preliminary analysis and it is suggested that empirical studies can be conducted to support the results of this analysis.
{"title":"The Trend of Unemployment and Crime Index during COVID-19 Pandemic in Malaysia","authors":"Nor Hidayah Harun, Nor Fadzilah Zainal, Siti Nur Fadzilah Muhsain","doi":"10.58915/ijbt.v12i3.973","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.58915/ijbt.v12i3.973","url":null,"abstract":"The COVID-19 pandemic has caused the number of unemployed to increase in Malaysia and the issue of unemployment has become a social problem that has always been positively linked to criminal activity. However, the crime index in Malaysia showed a decrease over the period of the Movement Control Order (MCO). This study aims to explore the issue using secondary data taken from various sources such as journals, books, proceedings, and press reports. The results of the study found that the crime index decreased even though the number of unemployed increased because it was in line with the theory of crime opportunity. As the community needs to stay at home during the MCO period, the chances of committing index crime are low because the home as well as property are monitored as well as individuals are not exposed to violent crime. However, the domino effect is non -index crime is reported to increase due to the stress of life that makes the individual is motivated to commit non-index crime. The results of the analysis of this study are expected to help the government, especially the Department of Social Welfare to be more efficient by helping and supporting the victims of non-index crime. The results of this study are also expected to provide an explanation to the community on the question of why the unemployment rate is negatively related to index crime as well as remove the negative impression of the report given by the Royal Malaysian Police (RMP).
