PublicationPreparation of aviation industry transition on COVID-19 from pandemic to endemic phase: a review(Open Access Publications LLC., 2023)Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine the Malaysian government's actions towards the aviation industry to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic and the transition phase from pandemic to endemic. Transition phase refers to a temporary period before the country could fully enter the endemic phase which is subject to an announcement by the World Health Organisation (WHO). Theoretical framework:The study on air transport affected by pandemic and industry action toward the endemic phase. This study refers to the conceptual framework for emergency department design in a pandemic by Aujirapongpan (2023): Relationship between state, hospital and ED in pandemic preparedness planning and response. Design/methodology/approach: The approach used is qualitative research that are observation and literature review. Findings: The results demonstrate the Malaysian government's actions during the transition period from pandemic to endemic. Restrictions on travel between areas cause the public to be unable to move at will, causing passengers to be unable to buy plane tickets. The government's actions have indeed had an impact on the airline company's income. Among the significant effects are the workers who were laid off in the era of the pandemic. At the same time, the government is also trying to help airlines financially to survive while waiting for the endemic period. The Malaysian government does not have a specific framework for the airline industry to face the pandemic, however, the Malaysian government gives a quick reaction to control the situation. Research, Practical & Social implications: The study gives comparative responses on the aviation industry by the government when faced with a pandemic, as well as planning for the transition to the endemic phase. Originality/value: The result indicates the government participation and action changes of the air transport operation on the Covid-19 pandemic to endemic transition phase.

PublicationGoing green with the green market and green innovation: building the connection between green entrepreneurship and sustainable development(Emerald Publishing, 2023)Purpose: This study aims to explore the role of the green market (GM) and green innovation (GI) towards green entrepreneurship (GE) and sustainable development (SD). Design/methodology/approach: Based on cross-sectional data, the researchers used quantitative methods in this study to confirm the conceptual framework. The researchers used a questionnaire to collect the data obtained from Pakistan's knowledge-based companies (KBCs). In total, the researchers used 192 usable samples to deliver the findings. Findings: The researchers used structural equation modeling (SEM) to ensure the model's fitness and as a basis for this study's hypotheses. The findings highlight that the GM factors, such as green product (GP), green design (GD), green supply chain (GSC) and green production (GPN) have a positive and significant effect GM factors, such as on both GE and SD. Further, GI is, also, a significant predictor of GE and SD. Finally, this study's findings show that GE has a predictive role of towards SD. Practical implications: This study's findings create a source of attention for individuals to preserve the GM's natural resources. Further, mainly in developing contexts like Pakistan, the addition of the GI factor and the GM towards GE and SD contribute to the depth of the existing literature. Originality/value: By integrating factors, such as innovation toward GE and SD, this study's findings provide an original contribution to the empirical evidence.

The survey includes students of 14 private and 14 public universities from Bangladesh. A 31-item structured questionnaire survey was designed to collect data from (N = 415) respondents using a five-point Likert scale, and structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed to measure the reliability, validity, and test of hypotheses. Results revealed that students’ motivation for academic learning is directly influenced by teachers’ emotional self-awareness (SA), self-regulation (SR), self-motivation (SM), empathy (EM) and social skills (SS). The study’s findings indicate that students’ motivation for academic learning is positively influenced by teachers’ emotional intelligence. Consequently, this study contributes to the body of knowledge on emotional intelligence by offering implications for teachers in higher education.

PublicationOptimizing project cycle management in Jordan's construction industry: overcoming challenges for enhanced performance(IP Media Sdn Bhd, 2025)The construction industry in Jordan is pivotal to its economic growth but faces substantial challenges, particularly extended project cycles that result in delays, cost overruns, and reputational damage. This study investigates the impact of project cycle dimensions—Planning and Change Management—on project performance within the Jordanian construction sector. Utilizing the Resource-Based View (RBV) theory, the research highlights the strategic importance of internal resources like skilled project managers and effective management practices. The findings reveal that while Planning and Change Management are positively perceived, their direct influence on project performance is statistically insignificant, suggesting that other external factors may overshadow these internal practices. This study underscores the need for comprehensive methodologies tailored to the Jordanian context to enhance project planning and change management processes. Practical recommendations include adopting detailed planning frameworks, strengthening change management strategies, investing in training, leveraging technology, and enhancing stakeholder engagement. By addressing these areas, Jordanian construction firms can improve project outcomes and enhance their competitiveness in a rapidly evolving sector. This research contributes to the broader understanding of project management practices in the construction industry and offers actionable insights for future improvements.
