Hybrid Working and Employee Job Performance in Felcra Berhad: An Examination of The Moderating Role of Job Satisfaction
Get PDFIn today's dynamic work environment, understanding the impact of hybrid working on job performance is crucial. Many organizations, including FELCRA Berhad, adopted hybrid working during the COVID-19 pandemic to enhance employee efficiency and flexibility. This study explores FELCRA Berhad's job performance and satisfaction during the pandemic and evaluates the potential success of hybrid working post-pandemic. Using a quantitative research design and purposive sampling, data were collected from FELCRA Berhad employees through online and physical questionnaires. The data were analyzed with IBM SPSS Version 28 to examine the relationship between hybrid working (working conditions, work-life balance, and recognition) and job performance, with job satisfaction as a moderating factor. The results indicated a significant positive relationship between working conditions and job performance. While work-life balance and recognition showed moderate positive relationships with job performance, they were not statistically significant. Job satisfaction did not significantly moderate these relationships. However, the group effect for hybrid working remained significant across all dimensions. In conclusion, the study confirms a significant positive relationship between hybrid work conditions and job performance, providing a foundation for FELCRA Berhad to consider implementing hybrid work practices based on their direct effects on job performance
From Gaming Elements to Purchase Intentions: The Influence of Perceived Enjoyment and Promotion Focus in Online Travel Bookings
Get PDFThis study examines the impact of gamification on purchase intentions in Malaysia's online travel booking industry. As traditional platforms like Expedia face declining bookings due to economic challenges and the rise of competitors such as Airbnb, Agoda, and Booking.com, understanding the role of gamification in user engagement becomes crucial. The research employs Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze the effects of extrinsic and intrinsic gaming elements, perceived enjoyment, and promotional focus on purchase intention. A total of 141 respondents participated in the survey and the key findings reveal that extrinsic gaming elements, including points and rewards, have a significantly stronger impact on perceived enjoyment than intrinsic elements like membership levels. This heightened enjoyment, in turn, positively influences purchase intention. Additionally, the study finds that promotional focus moderates the relationship between perceived enjoyment and purchase intention, further enhancing the effect. The Importance-Performance Map Analysis (IPMA) indicates that while intrinsic gaming elements perform below average, they are less critical than other factors. Managers should prioritize improving aspects of high importance, but currently have, low performance to boost purchase intentions effectively. Overall, the research provides actionable insights for enhancing competitiveness in Malaysia's digital travel marketplace, emphasizing the need for targeted gamification strategies to align with evolving consumer preferences. The findings offer a foundation for developing strategies that can help travel platforms maintain relevance and drive engagement in a competitive landscape
A Critical Analysis of Science And Technology’s Impact on The Re-Evaluation of Iddah From Al-Talil Bi Al Hikmah Perspective
Get PDFIn contemporary Islamic discourse, there is an increasing emphasis on the role of wisdom in determining Islamic law due to its significant connection with the concepts of ?illah and Maqasid Shariah. This discussion in U??l al-Fiqh is known as al-Ta?l?l bi al-?ikmah. Additionally, the rapid advancements in modern science and technology are recommended for integration into contemporary Islamic legal research. Thus, exploring the intersection of wisdom and science is crucial. One of the issues that is often a concern in responding to the relationship between wisdom and science within Islamic law is the rule of iddah. This study aims to investigate the relationship between the rule of iddah and its underlying wisdom, as well as the role of science in realizing this wisdom and its impact on legal rulings. A qualitative approach was employed, using document analysis of both classical and contemporary writings on the rule of iddah. The analysis was conducted inductively to identify the principles of al-Ta?l?l bi al-?ikmah, which form the primary framework for examining the iddah issue. This study finds that if the use of wisdom and science in determining Islamic rules aims at realizing the objectives of the Shariah, performed by its guidelines, then it conforms with the requirements of Shariah and achieves Maqasid Shariah
Job-Hopping Intention Among Lecturers in Private Education Institutions
Get PDFThe practice of frequently changing jobs known as job-hopping is increasingly prevalent across industries, including academia in search of better opportunities or personal growth.
