Get PDFIn Malaysia, the local authority have been responsible for solid waste management services. However, over the years, various weaknesses in the local authority implementation aspect, financial and technical aspects, have fed to inefficiency in the providing the services to the people alike. The increasing waste generation and the least environmental awareness among the general public increase the burden to the local authority. To reduce the burden, the privatization process was initiated in 1996 with the aim of attaining an efficient management system to enhance environmental quality through resource, re-use and waste minimization. However, the negative attitude of the people towards a number of waste management issues that may hinder the implementation of effective privatized solid waste management options. This project which is part of the fulfillment for an Executive Master of Business Administration at the University of Technology MARA, Malaysia, is trying to unveil the strategic management of waste disposal of local authority in a small town of Simpang Renggam which is 70km from the city of Johor Bahru, Malaysia. The scope of the study was mainly on the general solid waste management and activities, and the related parties. As the Malaysian has moved towards an integrated approach to solid waste management rather than reliance on a single method, therefore it has begun to look to other, more experienced countries such. as Japan, Singapore, USA and Holland to provide models for structuring integrated systems. The purpose of this study was to evaluate Malaysia's integrated solid waste management systems, giving special attention to, and performing close analysis of its sanitary landfill and other related technique like re-cycling activity. In addition, this study focused on the environmental regulatory setting within which these solid waste management activities are conducted

Get PDFThis study seeks to identify the factors influencing corruption intention and the role of Etika Kerja Islam (EKI) among public servants of the Johor Local Authority. It uses the Model of Corrupt Action as the main reference in addition to the theory and model of ethical behaviour proposed by both the Islamic and the Western scholars. Most of past literature studies discuss the work ethics from the Western lens and very few studies observe work ethic from an Islamic perspective. In this regard, this study proposes EKI as the moderating variable in the relationship between the influencing factors and the intention to commit corruption. Civil servants in Johor State Local Authorities are used as the unit of analysis. Data was obtained quantitatively through distribution of questionnaires and qualitatively through expert interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using Descriptive Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and qualitative data were analyzed by Themes and Patterns Analysis. The result shows that intention to commit corruption was influenced by internal factors and external factors. Internal factors include neglecting religious values and demands, selfish attitudes, luxury lifestyle demands beyond their ability and greed. External factors are the influence of family and colleagues, opportunities, out dated systems and unclear procedures, social factors and modernization factors. The complex relationship between the variables was analyzed by Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using quantitative data. In building a structural model, four measurement models known as internal factor model, external factor model, intention model and EKI model were evaluated before the models were combined to form developed model named as “Model Pencegahan Rasuah”. In the process of proving major hypotheses, SEM analysis and moderator analysis have been used. The results of the hypothesis test found that internal factors had significant influence on the intention to commit corruption, external factors had significant effect on the intention to commit corruption and EKI was a moderating variable on the relationship between Internal Factor and Intention to commit corruption. This developed model contributes in explaining the internal and external factors affecting the intentions to commit corruption and the role of EKI as a moderator through eight values which are taqwa, ihsan, amal saleh, al-Birr, al-Qist, masuliyyah, ma'ruf and itqan

No full textArtikel ini merupakan kertas kajian mengenai pengaruh Etika Kerja Islam (EKI) terhadap niat untuk melakukan rasuah di kalangan penjawat di Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan Negeri Johor. Kajian ini mempunyai dua objektif iaitu yang pertama adalah untuk menentukan EKI sebagai pembolehubah penyederhanaan (moderating variable) dalam hubungan antara faktor yang mempengaruhi dan niat untuk melakukan rasuah. Kedua adalah untuk mengenalpasti nilai yang terkandung dalam EKI yang dapat melemahkan niat seseorang untuk melakukan rasuah. Data kajian telah diperolehi secara kuantitatif melalui kaedah soalselidik dan kaedah kualitatif melalui temubual pakar. Data kuantitatif dianalisis menggunakan analisa deskriptif manakala data kualitatif melalui analisa tema dan corak. Dapatan kajian telah membuktikan bahawa EKI merupakan pembolehubah penyederhanaan antara Faktor Dalaman dan Niat untuk melakukan rasuah. “Regression Coefficient†untuk Faktor Dalaman * EKI ke atas Niat Melakukan Rasuah adalah negatif, yang menunjukkan bahawa pembolehubah penyederhanaan (EKI) memberikan kesan yang melemahkan terhadap Faktor Dalaman ke atas Niat Melakukan Rasuah. Terdapat lapan nilai di dalam EKI yang dikenalpasti sebagai pembolehubah penyederhanaan dalam kajian ini iaitu Taqwa, Amal Saleh, al-Birr, al-Qist, Ihsan, Masuliyah, Ma’aruf, dan Itqan. Penghayatan, pemahaman dan pelaksanaan EKI secara menyeluruh dan konsisten mampu membentuk nilai kerohanian dalam diri penjawat awam seperti bertanggungjawab, berdedikasi dan amanah. Penghayatan terhadap nilai EKI akan mendorong seseorang untuk mengerjakan kebaikan dan meninggalkan kejahatan seterusnya dapat melemahkan niat seseorang untuk melakukan rasuah. The article is about a research paper in the influence of Islamic Work Ethics (IWE) on intention to accept bribes among local governments’ employees in Johore. The paper has two objectives; firstly, to determine IWE as the moderating variable in the relationship between the influencing factors and the intention to take bribes. Secondly, it is to identify the values that encompass IWE which demotivate someone’s intention to be involved in bribery. The data was obtained quantitatively through distribution of questionnaires and qualitatively through expert interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and qualitative data by themes and patterns analysis. The finding shows that IWE is a moderating factor between Internal Factor and intention to take bribes. The regression coefficient of IWE on “Intention to take bribes†is negative, hence proving that the moderating factor, IWE weakens the “Internal factors†effects on the “Intention to take bribesâ€. There are eight values identified in IWE as the moderating factors, namely Taqwa, Amal Saleh, al-Birr, al-Qist, Ihsan, Masuliyah, Ma’aruf, and Itqan. Comprehension, understanding and implementation of IWE thoroughly and consistently would develop spiritual values among public servants, such as responsibility, dedication, and trustworthiness. Realization of IWE values will encourage someone to do good and avoid evil, subsequently weakens the intention to take bribes.Â
