To meet the objectives of the study, the primary data are collected from 139 employees with the stratified random sampling method. Correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis are used to analyze the effects of employee engagement factors on employee productivity.

Systematic sampling method was used to collect data from Dom Shop among customers in Dubai. Data analysis
was through descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression by using SPSS. According to the correlation coefficient results showed that the independent variables; place, process and physical evidence are positively and weekly correlated and product, price, promotion and people are moderately correlated with customer buying decision. It can be concluded that if the marketing mix practice is more created the customer buying decision will be more achieved by the Dom shop. As a results of multiple regression analysis, the most influence factor on consumers’ buying decision is promotion and the second influence

EFFECT OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ON EMPLOYEE JOB SATISFACTION IN AYA BANKS
No full textThis study is to identify the HRM practices of AYA Banks and to analyze the effect of HRM practices on employee job satisfaction in AYA Banks. For primary data collection, 110 employees who provide financial services in the 10 branches of AYA banks in Ayeyarwady Region of Myanmar are selected by using structured questionnaires. In this study, employees’ job satisfaction is dependent variable and human resource management (HRM) practices. That includes recruitment and selection, training and development, performance appraisal, compensation and benefits, retention and supervision as independent variables. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the collected data. The results revealed that most HRM practices have a significant positive correlation with employee job satisfaction. Regression analysis showed that Retention and Supervision and Compensation and Benefits were the strongest predictors of satisfaction, while Recruitment and Selection had a smaller but statistically significant effect. In contrast, Training and Development and Performance Appraisal did not exhibit significant influence, suggesting gaps in either implementation or employee perception. These findings highlight the need for AYA Bank to enhance its training initiatives and appraisal systems to ensure alignment with employee expectations. The management of AYA Bank should consider changing the
way of job delegation again which is related to responsibility factor because it doesn’t have the significant effect on job satisfaction according to the study result. The management of AYA Bank should promote the activities which increase co-worker relationships because this factor is the most significant one for the employee job satisfaction. By doing these things, the job satisfaction level of the employees at AYA Bank will increase and it will lead to increase their performance as well

Get PDFThaw Tar Pan Ward is the first place of Buddhist religious sasana in Sagaing area since Lord Buddha

Pan” was given with reference to the being of sotapanna stage by ogre’s zeta and his followers after
hearing the preaching Lord Buddha. Thaw Tar Pan is one of 23 wards of Sagaing and is located on
the eastern portion of the Sagaing ridge. In 2023, the ward has a total area of 1.437 square mile and
2,234 residents. Being the original place for propagation of Buddhist religious sasana, and the place

A Study of the Forms; Some of the Pagodas in Bagan Area
Get PDFThe Kingdom of Myanmar was ruled by a succession of 55 kings from 107 A.D. to 1369 A.D.
for over 1260 years. Believing particularly in the Buddha Sāsanā, these kings built and donated
multitudes of pagodas and religious buildings in the environs of Bagan. Bagan is an ancient city
and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Mandalay Region of Myanmar. From the 9th to 13th
centuries, the city was the capital of the Bagan Kingdom, the first kingdom that unified the regions
that would later constitute Myanmar. An area known as the Bagan Archaeological Zone contains
many of the larger pagodas and is arguably the most visited location in all of Myanmar. During
the kingdom’s height between the 11th and 13th centuries, more than 10,000 Buddhist temples,
pagodas and monasteries were constructed in the Bagan plains alone, of which the remains of
over 2200 temples and pagodas survive. In building and donation of the pagodas, the early
workmanships are simple forms. As the architectural works developed in the later periods, the
pagodas were built in various forms so that they are pleasant to the eyes and inspiring devotion
to the worshippers. In Myanmar, looking at the forms of the pagodas in Bagan area, there are
various architectural works that are different. The most common found forms of the pagodas are
cylindrical form containing a big and steep Dhātugabbha, the square box-like relic chamber above
the Dhātugabbha, the form of the pagoda created in Myanmar style and the form of the pagoda
based on vaulted square temple. The intention of this paper is to discuss the potential origins of
the early Pyu and Mon era religious architecture of Myanmar. The period of architecture that will
be in focus is the era preceding the 9th century CE., which marked the development of a new
Myanmar Kingdom known as Bagan in central Myanmar. This paper is presented the four forms
of pagodas after studying a few of them in Bagan. Moreover, the study of this paper is intended
to illustrate the outstanding forms of ancient architecture and to be designed to imitate the
contemporaries

A Study on the Health Awareness of Seasonal Influenza A (H1N1) Among Factory Workers (Case Study: Tatmadaw Garment Factory, Mingaladon Township) (Peter Myo Htet Kyaw @ Myo Htet Kyaw, 2025)
Get PDFThis study focuses on factory workers' knowledge, attitude, and practices
regarding seasonal influenza A (HINI). The objectives of the study are to assess the
level of awareness, attitude, and existing preventive practices among factory workers
and to examine the relationship between their sociocultural characteristics and
influenza prevention behaviors. A total of 138 workers from the Tatmadaw Garment
Factory in Mingaladon were randomly selected. The study employed an intervention
design with a one-group pre-and post-test approach and utilized a self-administered
structured questionnaire to collect data on the workers' socioeconomic characteristics,
knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) related to influenza prevention. The findings
reveal a significant improvement in knowledge, attitude, and preventive practices
following the health education intervention. Most respondents (93.5%) recognize that
influenza is caused by influenza viruses before the intervention, yet 27.5% believe after
the intervention that A (HINI) could be contracted by eating pork. Before the
intervention, only 15.2% had been vaccinated for the flu season, and misconceptions
regarding vaccination were prevalent. These findings indicate that health education
effectively enhanced workers' awareness and preventive practices regarding seasonal
influenza A (HINI). However, negative attitudes and vaccination practices remain
largely unchanged. Therefore, periodic health education programs and vaccination
campaigns should be implemented, particularly among vulnerable groups, to strengthen
preventive measure
