    The impact of workplace environment on employee productivity at Islamic Cooperative Bank: a case study at BKRM Berhad / Azilah Anis and Zuhaina Mustapa

    Today in the 21st century, it is impossible to adequately emphasize how vitally important a pleasant and favorable working environment is to employees' health, productivity, and well-being. As a growing issue for banking sectors, ensuring the staff members are being productive in the performance of their assigned responsibilities that may contribute to the success of the business, is becoming more important. Many variables may affect an employee's productivity, but the working environment of the workplace is by far the most prominent aspect that may either inhibit or enhance an employee’s productivity. As this research focuses on businesses and workers, the outcome will benefit both. Using a dataset of 144 employees from BKRM Berhad in Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur branches, this study sought to determine the relationship between workplace environment on employee productivity, particularly at Islamic Cooperative Bank in Malaysia. The workplace environment is divided into two parts; physical and behavioral. According to the study’s findings, the researcher discovered that the behavioral workplace environment had a far more significant influence on employee productivity than the physical office environment

    A One-Way Car-Sharing Based Approach for Combined Shared Mobility of Freight and Passengers

    No full text
    Climate change stresses the need for research and development of innovative sustainable mobility solutions that provide reliable and convenient door-to-door services for both passengers and freight. The increase in urban population and the popularity of e-commerce further highlights the need for action. In this regard, crowd-shipping is often perceived as an efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable alternative (or complement) to the management of urban freight mobility through efficient utilization of current transportation capacities. In this framework, inspired by the concept of MaaS (Mobility as a Service) in integrating various forms of transport and transport-related services into a single on-demand mobility service, this paper proposes a car-sharing-based service for the combined mobility of passengers and freight. In doing so, one-way car-sharing and crowd-shipping concepts are integrated in order to serve part of the existing freight demand in a sustainable and cost-efficient way for users, societies, and the environment. An optimization model is proposed to optimally plan the activation of one-way car-sharing and crowd-shipping services and to determine the optimal number of vehicles to assign to them. Such decisions are aimed at minimizing the total imbalance by serving passenger and freight demand during different time periods. In doing so, the willingness of users to carry freight in their vehicles is also taken into consideration. The capability of the proposed approach is evaluated through representative numerical examples aimed at showing the impact of the model parameters on the solution.Transport and Plannin

    Embracing the future of the policy sciences: big data in pedagogy and practice

    No full text
    Although the emergence of Big Data provides an opportunity to synthesize and mobilize ever greater amounts of policy-relevant knowledge, it has not received adequate attention in studies of policy pedagogy and practice. In this chapter, we highlight the relevance of Big Data to policy analysis, policy implementation, and policy studies through a discussion of basic machine learning techniques and an illustration of their application in the case of better understanding policy response to COVID-19. Subsequently – based on a bibliometric review of nearly 2,500 publications on big data in public policy and content analysis of course titles and descriptions in 122 programs worldwide – we make an evidence-informed appeal to increase the uptake of big data in policy research as well as teaching. We conclude that appropriate engagement with the big data phenomenon can help the policy sciences remain relevant and move a step closer to integrating policy research, pedagogy, and practice.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Organisation & Governanc

    Prioritisation of internal and external barriers for supply chain implementation in manufacturing companies: a Malaysian perspective

    No full text
    Manufacturing companies as well as service providers often encounter barriers in successful implementation of supply-chain management (SCM) principles and practices. The present research, through extensive literature review, has identified the main barriers of SCM implementation for Malaysian manufacturing companies. Having identified the list of barriers, the items in the list are prioritized by applying the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Ten respondents who have wide range of experiences in dealing with SCM, have provided the necessary inputs in the prioritization exercise. The individual AHP pairwise comparison matrices are aggregated and Superdecision software has been used to compute the priorities. From the generated ranks, the most critical barriers can easily be identified. The onus on the Malaysian manufacturing companies is to take note of the present research findings and take appropriate measures so that the full benefits of SCM can be reaped. Though the findings are valid in the Malaysian context, but judgments from people from other countries can be taken and a comparison of the results can be made

    Comparative Study between Baha’ al-Din Naqshband Bukhari’s Two Books of Anis at-Talibin and Maqamat

    These two books Anisatolibin and Maqamat-e-Naqshband are among the oldest and most important sources about Baha' al-Din Naqshband (718 -791) and his principles. More resources about Baha' al-Din Naqshband are often taken from Anis at Talibin book and many of the Maqamat’s topics are shared by Anis at Talibin. In this article, Baha' al-Din and his principles were introduced from the point of view of the authors of these two books and then the comparative analysis of the two works, the style of writing, the amount of poetry, ideas, and common themes, the position of women, miracles as well as the type and direction of miracles in them, should be examined. The comparative comparison of the two books showed that a large proportion of the Maqamat-e-Naqshband shared with Anis at Talibin and this suggests that Anis at Talibin was probably one of the main sources of the author of the Maqamat-e-Naqshband

    Development of a new SETARA rating model: an application of the analytic hierarchy process

    No full text
    SETARA, a rating tool was developed by the Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education in 2005 to rate the Malaysian universities - public as well as private. Over the years, the tool has been applied with considerable success. The tool comprises a comprehensive, all-encompassing criteria set along with their corresponding weights. However, how the weights have been determined and assigned to the criteria is not clear. It is well known that the set of weights affects the rating of a university significantly; so, it must be determined objectively. This research works has applied Analytic Hierarchy Process, a scientific prioritisation method, to compute the weights of various criteria and sub-criteria of SETARA assessment instrument. The new set of weights are computed using judgements taken from people involved in higher education administration and a scientific prioritisation method, therefore, it is claimed that the new set of weights is valid and acceptable. Upon comparison of the newly determined weights with the existing ones, significant differences are observed for certain criteria. This comparative analysis makes the main theme of this article
