    Road accidents have alarmed Malaysian citizens all over the country. This study proves that a combination of human characteristics may contribute to the increase in the accident rate of motorcyclists on the road. Human characteristics such as riding anger, riding attitude, and lack of mindfulness may be the leading causes of motorcycle accidents. Malaysian road accident proneness research is still in its early phase. This study intends to investigate the relationship between riding anger, riding attitude, mindfulness, and road accident proneness. This study adopts a quantitative methodology employing a questionnaire distributed to visitors of authorised Yamaha dealers in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. The results of structural equation modelling reveal that riding anger, riding attitude, and mindfulness substantially impact road accident proneness. The explanation of the current research contains significant theoretical and practical significance, as well as suggestions for minimising the accident rate of road users.

    The paper aims to investigate the relationship between workplace violence, occupational burnout and turnover among nurses in Malaysia. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed to 420 nurses at public hospitals in the Northern part of Malaysia. The results were then analyzed using the Social Sciences Statistical System (SPSS) and the Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) Partial Least Squares. The findings indicate that workplace violence and occupational burnout were positively significant with turnover. At the end of the paper, forwarded a few suggestions and recommendations based on the finding.

    Financial planning for retirement is essential to ensure that people have enough money to live the lifestyle they desire when they retire. Self-employed business owners in developed countries widely do financial retirement planning. However, in Malaysia, the percentage of self-employed individuals concerned about financial retirement planning is lower than in other countries. This study aims to identify the relationship between the financial attitude, financial literacy and health literacy of self-employed individuals toward sustainable financial retirement planning in Malaysia and find out the moderating effect of the role of financial advisors. The study utilized structural equation modelling. Data were collected through a survey questionnaire and analyzed using SMART PLS 3.3. The total sample size was 416 self-employed individuals from the northern Malaysian region. The findings revealed that financial attitude and financial literacy significantly impact retirement planning. Moreover, the role of financial advisors moderates the relationship between financial attitude–financial retirement planning and financial literacy–financial retirement planning. The result of the study will fulfil the needs of self-employed individuals to plan their retirement by including the financial planning determinants needed for a well-planned retirement.

    Purchase intention on cars among Malaysian in the central region of Malaysia
    Profits are necessary for the survival of every business in the world. However, it may be difficult if the company is unable to attract new customers or meet their demands, particularly in a competitive market dominated by vehicle businesses that may rely on monthly sales to survive. Therefore, it is vital to determine the elements that influence vehicle transportation purchase intention. To this end, this study utilised a quantitative approach and questionnaires were sent to residents in Malaysia's central region. Successfully gathered 381 questionnaires, which were distributed to the respondents. Analyses were performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software and Smart Partial Least Square (PLS) software. Demographic analysis was executed by using SPSS and Smart PLS to test the measurement and structural model. Various variables were analysed, including customers’ belief, product quality, brand information, and customers’ perception, that might influence purchase intention. According to the study's findings, customers’ beliefs, brand information, and customers’ perception had a substantial positive relationship with purchase intention. Explanation of the current research offers substantial theoretical and practical value and ideas for increasing vehicle company clients and sales.

    Assessing the factors affecting road accident involvement among motorcycle riders using partial least squares structural equation modeling approach
    This research investigates the factors that influence high numbers of road fatalities and accidents among motorcycle riders. This study proposes a conceptual framework that illustrates how high-risk road users, such as motorcycle riders, can prevent road accidents by fostering high-impact preventive countermeasures for sustainable traffic safety. Several critical variables on road user behavior related to road accident involvement are presented in a conceptual framework. The proposed conceptual framework suggested that behavioral factors such as anger, attitude, and sensation seeking affect the motorcycle riders' involvement in a road accident. Additionally, mindfulness plays an important mediating role between behavioral factors and road accident involvement. The proposed framework considers a comprehensive set of reviews rarely discussed in the existing literature. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was proposed to evaluate the proposition of the latent variables and their influence on road accident involvement. The proposed path model indicated that mindfulness has a strategic role in reducing road accident involvement, having an indirect effect through riding anger, attitude and sensation seeking. The study could benefit transportation authorities and agencies in Malaysia to execute high-impact countermeasures to reduce road accident involvement among motorcyclists in Malaysia.
