PublicationDirectors’ characteristics, firm factors and Shariah compliance status: A logit model analysis in Pakistan(AIP Publishing, 2024-06)The purpose of this study is to identify the main factors that are significantly influencing the Shariah compliance status of the listed firms at the Pakistan Stock Exchange. This research examines the extent to which variations in directors' characteristics and firm-specific factors affect the company's status with respect to Shariah compliance. A total of 80 listed companies on the Pakistan Stock Exchange were selected. The data were collected from the companies' financial reports for the period of 2013-2017 (N=400). The research models were tested using fixed and random effects logit analysis on STATA 15. The findings reveal that the director's religion, Islamic financing, Islamic institutes' shareholdings, payout ratio, and stock return significantly influence Shariah compliance status in Pakistan. This study is the first to explore the directors' characteristics and firm-specific factors that impact Shariah compliance status to the best of our knowledge.

PublicationThe linkage among foreign workers and Malaysia national output(AIP Publishing, 2024-06)The composition of foreign workers is increasing because the cost of hiring foreign workers is lower, which has made the demand for foreign workers high. Besides, there are also some jobs that are not of interest to local workers. The purpose of this study is to investigate the linkage between foreign workers and Malaysian national output from 1990-2019. The data were collected from the World Bank. For this purpose, the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach will be used. The results showed that foreign workers and capital stock have a positive and significant effect on national output in the long run. Meanwhile, in the short run, the results show that consumption, expenditure, and capital stock have a positive and significant effect on national output. Therefore, the country needs to manage existing human resources in the country to make sure local workers also get jobs. Malaysian employment increases in every major area as a result of hiring foreign labour.

PublicationTheorising organisational justice, role ambiguity and OCB towards housemen’s burnout(AIP Publishing, 2024-06)There is evidence to suggest that Malaysian housemen are becoming more burned out. This study examines relationships between role ambiguity, organisational justice, organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB), and burnout among housemen at the Malaysian Ministry of Health (MoH). The questionnaire was distributed at random to the study's participants. PLS-SEM was used to analyse the data (version 4.0). The quantitative technique was used to distribute a questionnaire to housemen at 15 public hospitals in Malaysia. The partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) method was used to analyse the data. The MoH can be advised to use the study's results to pinpoint elements of role ambiguity and OCB that can reduce burnout among Malaysian housemen. According to the research, organisational justice and OCB have positive effects on burnout while role ambiguity has a negative effect. In Malaysian public hospitals, the results show that two independent variables can reduce housemen's burnout. However, role ambiguity did not lessen the importance of burnout among housemen. In order to draught and implement the necessary policies, top management in all public hospitals will use the study's findings as a guide. If the nation can find a way to lessen housemen burnout by managing the implementation of policies that are related to role ambiguity and OCB, it might be able to better serve the communities in the future.

PublicationWomen’s leadership behaviour: the influences of work-life balance, personality, emotional intelligence and motivation(AIP Publishing, 2024-06-07)Globally, the number of women leaders is increasing year after year, where many women are working in male-dominated sectors. Despite the fact that women have contributed to the success of male-dominated businesses, there have been few studies on women's leadership behaviour. The primary goal of this study was to investigate the influences of work-life balance, personality, and emotional intelligence on women's leadership behaviour among Malaysian engineers. This study also looked at motivation as a moderating variable in the link between personality and emotional intelligence in women leaders. In this study, all independent variables (work-life balance, personality, and emotional intelligence) were shown to be substantially connected to the dependent variable (women's leadership behaviour). Motivation, as a moderating variable, was discovered to have a considerable impact on the link between personality and emotional intelligence and women's leadership behaviour. Based on the results, the practical implications can be used as a guide for future studies. It is recommended to do more in-depth studies by focusing on more dimensions for each of the selected variables to learn more about the factors that cause women to become leaders in a male-dominated field.

PublicationThe effects of organisational justice and organisational citizenship behaviour on burnout among the Malaysian housemen: age and ethnicity as moderators(AIP Publishing, 2024-06)The aim of this study is to examine the effects of organisational justice and organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB) on burnout among housemen who work in Malaysian public hospitals. Health institutions have the highest employee attrition rate due to housemen not doing their duties. Two organisational factors, which are organisational justice and OCB, have been investigated as the potential determinants of burnout in this study. Additionally, age and ethnicity have been analysed as moderating variables in this study. To obtain the relevant data, 417 questionnaires were digitally distributed to 15 public hospitals operated under the Ministry of Health (MoH) of Malaysia in the urban zones of the country. 417 housemen filled out the questionnaire in its entirety. The Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM) method has been used to analyse the obtained data. Based on the results of the study, housemen's burnout is significantly affected by both organisational justice and OCB. It was interesting to see that the connection between organisational justice and burnout among housemen in this study could only be moderated by age. On the other hand, the relationship between OCB and burnout is merely moderated by ethnicity. The results of this study have significant implications for top management in all of the Malaysian public hospitals with regards to the creation and application of the pertinent justice and OCB policies. Therefore, fresh information on lowering the level of burnout among the Malaysian housemen may assist the nation in better service. Several suggestions for additional study directions are highlighted at the end of this study. The MoH can use the findings of this study to update the strategy and standard operating procedure (SOP) for managing the Malaysian housemen. The results of this study might also change the Malaysian housemen's perspectives on the subject and assist them in preventing burnout while working. Not only that, but understanding the scope and origins of burnout might promote a favourable atmosphere in the medical setting, particularly in the hospital management, housemen, and patients.
