Employability and Career Success of Fresh Graduates in Boundaryless Career Environment
Get PDFIn a boundaryless career environment, industrial restructuring and the flattening of organizational hierarchies have led to a decline in career stability, making graduate employment an important social issue. Based on a sample of 1,000 fresh graduates, this study explores the impact mechanism of employability (EM) on career success (CS) and the mediating role of career self-efficacy (SE). The results show that EM positively affects CS (β=0.561, p<0.001), with SE partially mediating this relationship (β=0.127, p<0.001). These findings highlight the crucial role of employability and psychological capital in career development and provide empirical support and practical recommendations for enhancing graduates' employability
Knowledge and Attitude among Students towards Post-Stroke with Hemianopia
Get PDFA stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted, or a vessel ruptures. Occipital strokes can cause visual field deficits like homonymous hemianopia. This study assessed the awareness and perceptions of 204 MSU students regarding stroke and hemianopia. Using a modified Thapa et al. (2016) questionnaire, results showed 96.1% awareness of stroke, with 30.4% having a personal connection. While 83.3% correctly identified the brain as affected, misconceptions remained. A weak positive correlation (r = 0.26, p < 0.001) between knowledge and attitudes suggests persistent misunderstandings, likely due to complex medical terminology

Using a non-probability sampling technique, 250 online survey questionnaires were distributed to targeted respondents, yielding 200 usable responses. Data were analysed using Smart PLS (version 4.0) statistical software. The findings revealed that attitude and social influence significantly impact consumers’ willingness to purchase halal organic food products. The study further discusses managerial implications
Exploring the Interplay between Social Network Engagement and Traditional Predictors of Youth Voting Behaviour: Insights from emerging democracies
Get PDFYouth voter turnout in Malaysia remains low despite Undi-18 reforms. While social media is central to political engagement, its impact on youth voting behaviour is underexplored. This study examines the moderating effect of social network engagement on the relationship between traditional voting behaviour predictors and voting intentions among Malaysian youth. Findings show that pre-election perceptions, subjective norms, and political awareness significantly shape voting intentions, but social network engagement does not moderate this relationship. These insights highlight the enduring role of traditional socialisation and guide policymakers in leveraging digital platforms to enhance electoral participation in emerging democracies
