Hubungan Antara Gaya Kepimpinan Terhadap Prestasi Kerja Pensyarah Kolej Komuniti
Get PDFLeadership style is one of the key elements in producing a dedicated employee towards a high quality and high performance organization. Therefore, the study was conducted to identify the relationship between leadership styles in the autocratic, democratic and laissez-faire dimensions of work performance among lecturers at 6 Community Colleges in Malacca. A total of 120 sets of questionnaires were analyzed using Statistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS) version 22.0. The correlation and multiple regression analyzes have been used in the hypothesis determination. The findings show that laissez-faire leadership style is significantly associated with job performance. While autocratic and democratic leadership styles have little to do with job performance. However, the R² value between the leadership style and the work performance of the lecturers is only 0.12 which indicates that the leadership style affects only the work of the community college lecturer by 12% and the rest is influenced by other factors. Therefore, it can be concluded that the performance of community college lecturers is not only influenced by the leadership style but also influenced by other factors by 88%

Penggunaan Focus Group Discussion (FGD) Dalam Meneroka Permasalahan Pengurusan Kunci di Kolej Komuniti Masjid Tanah (KKMT)
Get PDFSecurity key management as a part of security management for any government agency is a very crucial matter to be taken seriously. It needs to be properly administered to ensure that the secrecy of the country can be fully secured and cannot be easily infiltrated. However, cases like missing, damaged and unauthorized key duplication are still occurred. Similar problem also exists in KKMT so that its own management requested for a specific research conducted to cater this issue. This is due to the fact that majority of KKMT security keys are managed manually and exposed to human error in the course of recording for the borrowing and returning process. Hence, an in-depth study to explore the problems that exist in the key management of the security keys at KKMT and the method to overcome it was carried out. The qualitative research was conducted by using the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and document analysis (corpus study) as its instruments. The results reveal seven major problems in the management of KKMT security keys such as (i) missing keys (ii) misplaced (iii) damaged (iv) bringing it back to home unintentionally (v) overlooked to record for the borrowing and returning (vi) difficulties to identify the borrower and (vii) the allocated borrowing time is not in line with the lecture time schedule. Therefore, a computerized decentralized system integrated with IoT (Internet of Thing) technology was proposed as the possible solution towards the problem. The method is seen as the best solution to overcome the problems for the security keys management at KKMT

Design and Simulation of New Skewering Part in Satay Industries
Get PDFNowadays, satay is sliced and skewed manually by workers. Due to high demand in satay industries, the industry is facing a pressure to produce more skew of boneless meats. Hence, the manual method to skew boneless meats is no longer practical, tedious, not economical and ergonomically not feasible to workers and financially unsustainable to company. Because of the customer need is very high, the satay industries need to expand in term of production, space, and marketing. Due to the growing demand for satay product on the market, the effectiveness of the satay processing machine must be improved. This is also to help the industries in terms of time savings and thus will increase product sales. The benchmarking of existing machine is considering the movement of the cutting and skewing process. Many of the machines for skewering are not in automation which the skewering process is done manually. The research is focus on the time constraint between manual and automation skewering process. Instead of the cost, work force, sales, market, time, productivity, and etc. the results and benefit for the industries is the speed of production will increase per day compared to manually skewering method. The numbers of sticks is the main constraint to be designed. The strength of the new skewering part is very suitable with the boneless meat at 0ºC or maximum value tensile strength of thawed meat. All the design and analysis are done by using CATIA V5R21 software. The maximum motor pressure will be below than the highest tensile strength that can be accommodated by the new skewering part
