Achievement motivation among Islamic studies students and its correlation with problem-based learning and self-efficacy
No full textBackground and Purpose: Achievement Motivation is defined as a concept that forecasts the behavioural inclination to strive for success and performance based on a person's urge for achievement. This study aimed to examine the link between academic self-efficacy, problem-based learning (PBL), and achievement motivation among students of Islamic studies.
Methodology: This explanatory investigation used a quantitative research design. 578 undergraduate students from three institutions in Malaysia—UM, IIUM, and USIM—were chosen randomly to take part in the study. The data set was analysed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis. Additionally, an intergroup comparison analysis and the independent sample t-test were performed.
Results: The results of an independent sample t-test showed a significant difference in the mean achievement motivation scores between students of applied Islamic studies (M = 3.31, SD =.41) and those of non-applied Islamic studies (M = 3.04, SD =.38). This difference is statistically significant at t (575) = -7.94, p =.00. When ASE was controlled, PBL's influence on AchM diminished (Sobel z= 3.83, p=0.00), indicating that ASE was the mediator of the relationship between PBL and AchM. F (7, 570) = 22.42, p .0005, adj. R2 =.206, multiple regression substantially predicted ASE. The outcome demonstrates that the method used to solve problems and the kind of programs used may be effective predictors of students' academic self-efficacy in Islamic studies.
Contribution: This study concludes that achievement significantly impacts student motivation. The findings provide valuable insights for Islamic Studies departments and the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia (MoHE) in addressing the current challenges related to achievement motivation, aligning with the ministry's objective of enhancing students' self-efficacy. The study offers practical implications for fostering motivation among Islamic Studies students in higher education institutions.

From the industrial revolution to globalisation and integrative labour markets
No full textCopyright © 2019 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd. This paper aims to assess and analyse the legal regime, the importance, and the legal and regulatory effect that trade unions, and subsequently collective bargaining, have in a legal system and in the hierarchy of norms therein, both at the national and international level. After a systemic principal overview, the construction of the paper departs from the fact that under the foundational principles of international law, employees\u27 rights protection is guaranteed by both custom and codified norms. However, the form of enforcement of this social guarantee is highly dependent on the consensual nature of the international arena and on the states\u27 compliance with the internationally accepted standards and their immersion into the national systems of law. Moreover, the paper analyses, in an interdisciplinary manner, both the legal regimes of collective bargaining and trade unions and comparative cases, with particular stress on the UAE and the situation at the regulatory and enforcement levels therein. Finally, the findings of the paper militate towards a more prolific enforcement regime and the development of adjacent resources, regulatory or policy related, for a higher protection of employees\u27 rights thereto
