    Various studies have already been conducted on the issue of psychological well-being of individuals. Unfortunately, most of the previous studies were not conducted from the perspective of academics in higher education. Therefore, the present study examined a considerable number of previous studies on the psychological well-being of academics in the context of higher education. The design of the study is a systematic literature review. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) were applied for selection, screening and reporting. The Scopus, Web of Science (WoS), Science Direct and Google Scholar databases were used for this systematic literature review of quantitative and qualitative research published between 2018 and 2022. Based on nine studies, there are three themes related to the psychological well-being of academics, including work-family conflict, workload and teaching-research role. Consequently, further research is needed to better identify the psychological well-being of academics.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Some studies show a strong relationship between personality traits and burnout, especially among educators in the higher education sector. The study aims to investigate the role of neuroticism, extraversion, and agreeableness personality traits in job burnout in academicians at a public university in Malaysia. The Big Five Personality Traits and the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory were used in the study to measure personality traits and job burnout. The quantitative approach used to distribute the questionnaire was by using online and offline surveys to academicians in a public university. This cross-sectional survey study involved 152 respondents. The data were analysed with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. The findings show that the personality traits of neuroticism and extraversion strongly influenced academicians' job burnout. The limitation of this study is that only three personality traits were selected for the study. Thus, the researchers recommended including other constructs of personality traits in future research.

    The main objective of this research was to examine the moderating roles of motivation on the relationship with emotional intelligence on women's leadership behaviour in the manufacturing industry. This study employed a quantitative approach with the distribution of self-directed questionnaires. Convenient sampling is employed in this research. The sample size was made up of 391 employees from manufacturing companies located in Malaysia. This study provided empirical evidence on the impact of emotional intelligence and motivation on women's leadership behaviour in the manufacturing industry. The results showed that motivation significantly moderated the relationship between emotional intelligence and women's leadership behaviour (β=-.0380; p = .000). Meanwhile, some practical implications have been reached and can be communicated to manufacturing company executives. This research was necessary to make sure that the national goals for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on gender equality can be met.
