The purpose of this study is to examine the behavioral factors which could influence the tax compliance intention among self-employed registered taxpayers in Kelantan. The current study applied the three components of behavioral elements under the Theory of Planned Behavior which are attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control. Questionnaires were distributed to the respondents around various cities in Kelantan. Analyses were carried out based on the 90 survey data. Cronbach’s alpha test was used to check the reliability of the data set while a regression model was conducted to test the hypotheses. The findings confirmed that attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control have significant influence on tax compliance. The findings of the study implied that the intention to comply with tax compliance emerges from a positive attitude of taxpayers to comply with the tax obligations.

A preliminary study was carried out to determine the variables affecting SME business adoption of cloud accounting. A convenience purposive sample was used in this study to choose the targeted SME companies in Sungai Petani, Kedah. From May to June 2021, data was collected online using a Google form. A total of 77 respondents were noted out of the 100 Google forms that were disseminated. Pearson’s correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were performed on the data. The results of this study demonstrated that adoption of cloud accounting among SME enterprises was significantly influenced by cost and security. According to the findings, SME enterprises should be targeted for intense cloud accounting promotion in order to take advantage of the system’s cost saving and optimum security. This will increase awareness of the benefits of cloud accounting in transforming a traditional business into a digital business. Due to the nature of this study, the findings are not generalizable. It is suggested that a more comprehensive study in Malaysia on cloud adoption should be conducted in the future.

This study is grounded in the social exchange theory. The present study aims to investigate employee engagement's intervening role in the relationship between person-organization fit and turnover intention of business process outsourcing (BPO) companies in Metro Manila, Philippines. The participants were identified using a purposive sampling technique from BPO employees (n = 302). Quantitative research and a predictive-causal approach were used to measure interrelationships among constructs, and partial least squares–structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed to estimate the parameters of the structural model. The findings revealed that person-organization fit and employee engagement significantly and negatively affect turnover intention. Moreover, a significant and positive relationship between person-organization fit and employee engagement was also observed. Employee engagement was also found to significantly and negatively mediate between person-organization fit and turnover intention. Future research includes developing a study comparing BPO companies to other industries based on the three latent variables used in this undertaking.

While sustainability initiatives have gained recognition and significance in modern organizations, they often encounter obstacles within firms, especially SMEs. Consequently, the adoption of integrated tools like AABSC has become crucial, replacing traditional BSC tools, to empower managers to make informed decisions amid sudden economic fluctuations. However, the adoption of AABSC remains limited in the literature review and is still in the process of dissemination and adoption by scholars and researchers. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the literature that has adopted AABSC in developing countries, particularly to focus on SMEs. The research methodology involved a systematic review of the ScienceDirect, IEEE, Scopus, and Web of Science databases from 2010 to 2021, resulting in the gathering of 1,841 papers. These articles were then filtered based on inclusion and exclusion criteria defined in the systematic review protocol. From the findings, a total of 39 articles were selected and divided into four distinct categories. The first category encompasses MAS, accounting for 20.50%, followed by AABSC at 10.26%. The third category pertains to sustainable performance, representing 30.77%, while the final category consists of Hybrid Studies, accounting for 38.46%. Nevertheless, the systematic review also highlights the necessity for more rigorous evaluations regarding the adoption of AABSC. This research has implications for both the body of knowledge and practice, as it sheds light on the outcomes and potential benefits of implementing AABSC in developing country firms, particularly SMEs.
虽然可持续发展倡议在现代组织中获得了认可和重要性,但它们经常在公司,特别是中小企业内部遇到障碍。因此,采用像AABSC这样的综合工具已经变得至关重要,它取代了传统的平衡计分卡工具,使管理人员能够在突然的经济波动中做出明智的决策。然而,在文献综述中,AABSC的采用仍然有限,学者和研究人员仍在传播和采用过程中。因此,本研究旨在分析发展中国家采用AABSC的文献,特别关注中小企业。研究方法包括对2010年至2021年期间的ScienceDirect、IEEE、Scopus和Web of Science数据库进行系统回顾,最终收集了1841篇论文。然后根据系统评价方案中定义的纳入和排除标准对这些文章进行筛选。从调查结果中,总共选择了39篇文章,并将其分为四个不同的类别。第一类包括MAS,占20.50%,其次是AABSC,占10.26%。第三类涉及可持续绩效,占30.77%,而最后一类包括混合研究,占38.46%。然而,系统审查也强调了对采用AABSC进行更严格评价的必要性。这项研究对知识和实践都有影响,因为它揭示了在发展中国家公司,特别是中小企业实施AABSC的结果和潜在利益。

Up to half of Malaysia's private higher education institutions could be forced to close if the country's private higher education sector were to collapse, leaving only those with substantial financial support to remain open. More than half of the country's small businesses have shut down due to the Covid-19 coronavirus, which has almost likely pushed the country into recession. This has worsened the prognosis for the already troubled university sector. Hence, student loyalty is another proven solution in combating these challenges. The purpose of this research is to look into and analyse the impact of service quality, university image, student satisfaction, and loyalty at private universities in Kedah, Malaysia. As this paper is a pilot study, therefore 150 questionnaires were distributed to target respondents. SPSS was used to analyse the 86 samples of private university students in the northern region of Malaysia. Findings postulate that only service quality, commitment and satisfaction affect a loyalty among private university student in northern region. This study helps institutions, teachers, and policymakers understand what makes private university students want for them to keep loyal with the universities.
