However, a lack of skill and knowledge of village administration has led to a social conflict in the community. The study found that lack of public participation has caused mistrust in using the fund
Government Allocation and Economic Growth: An Empirical Evidence from States in Malaysia
Get PDFAcademic researchers are still interested in government fiscal management and its economic consequences. The impact of federal government fiscal policy on the economy has gotten a lot of attention. Nonetheless, little is known about state-level fiscal management. The main goal of this research is to investigate the relationship between state government fiscal and economic growth across Malaysia\u27s states. We also investigate the economic impact of the federal government\u27s contribution on each state\u27s budget allocation. We identified disparities in federal funding. We use a panel dataset that spans 13 Malaysian states and ten years, from 2008 to 2017. We found that government spending drives growth in domestic products for most state governments using the panel autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model. The Granger causality test reveals that state government spending and federal allocation to states significantly impact Malaysian state economic growth. In general, our empirical evidence backs up Wagner\u27s theory

Evaluating the Validity and Reliability of Authentic Learning Instruments using RASCH Model
Get PDFSocial science research with a quantitative approach should use the appropriate scale of measurement to interpret a variable correctly. There are two types of measurement scale that is category scale and numerical scale. Category scale is for nominal and ordinal data, while the numerical scale for an interval and ratio data. In mathematical analysis, numerical scale indicates the exact measurement and more precise definitions of certain variables. Category scale is only used to classify a variable. However, Likert scale which is used for ordinal data are often used as a measurement tool in social science research. Therefore, the Rasch model analysis that can change the nominal and ordinal data to interval and ratio data was used in this study. Here, it was used to evaluate the validity and reliability of authentic learning instrument at Malaysian Polytechnics. Validity of instrument was seen by unidimensional analysis through principal component analysis method. Reliability of instrument was seen by summary statistics, variable map and item fit table. The findings show that the authentic learning instrument at Malaysian Polytechnics has high validity and reliability
Indonesian Logistics Preferences during COVID-19 Pandemic
Get PDFThis study aims to identify the critical factors of shipping success and courier services in Indonesia. The study uses a survey questionnaire in Indonesia on the consumer preferences of logistics service consumers, using the location of Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi (Jabodetabek) as the locational preferences. The critical factors consist of ease of use of delivery services; estimated shipments; package delivery location; delivery operational time; availability of packaging services; pricing methods; package guarantee; payment method for shipping costs; ease of use serving tracking; tracking maps; delivery location; delivery operational time; availability of delivery information packages; delivery failed compensation; service scape, corporate image, user image, product image, and price. A total of 150 respondents participated in this study. In conclusion, most consumers use the logistics service for small package delivery. The consumer also did not believe the service provider needed to be available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Nevertheless, they prefer it if the provider provides the shipping day estimation. The results of the rate preference survey, the consumer study reveals that for the safety of the shipping process, providers must charge an additional fee for standard packaging. Also, the consumers are willing to pay more for the warranty of the package protection during the shipping process. Thus, the providers service includes extra packaging based on the package type. Moreover, they need access to track the package in real-time using the provider\u27s application or website. Hence, the courier and all the staff must update the package position during the shipping process
