The purpose of this study is to provide an understanding of the factors influencing green warehouse practices (GWP) in the Malaysian warehouse industry. Both stakeholder theory (ST) and institutional theory (IT) act as the foundation in developing the theoretical framework. Six factors were identified resulted from preliminary data gathering and an extensive literature review for constructing the model. The sample size consists of 226 respondents with the acceptance rate of 89 per cent. The findings revealed that customer demand, owner support, employee involvement, top management commitment, industry competition, and governmental pressure are positively associated with GWP. Based on the findings, warehouse companies and relevant authorities in Malaysia should focus on the importance of GWP towards becoming more competitive in the global market. The study provides a theoretical gap by proposing a valuable implication to scholars and practitioners in promoting sustainable industrial development which aligns with the government national agenda.

This systematic literature review paper focuses on the contextual understanding for on-demand gig workers from the perspective of job quality and work precarity. While on-demand gig work being perceived as ways to solve unemployment and contribute towards economic development, there are growing debates over precarity and vulnerability of this line of work as well as the life of the workers. The methodology applied was based on past systemic literature review flow and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA), which includes identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion phases. The review comprises all type of research field with relevant criteria of research published in the past five years from the two reliable electronic databases which are Web of Science and Scopus to maintain relevancy and precision. At the end of filtering procedure, fifteen scientific articles were selected and the common themes for on-demand gig workers were identified: the provision job quality from the job provider, and work precarity among gig workers.

Malaysian government have provided several economic incentives since 2017 to promote jobs in e-hailing industry. Based on the current knowledge, it is apparent that there is lack of studies in determining the realistic attributes and overall specification of e-hailing jobs. This quantitative study explores the antecedents of e-hailing jobs' sustainability. It describes the motivations of individual's appeals in particular from B40 segments for e-hailing jobs in Malaysia. This study explores three perspectives of service sustainability in terms of job preferences, competency and resilience among 397 e-hailing drivers in major cities of Malaysia. Additionally, this study provides considerable evidence from the supply side of ehailing service provision especially with respect to the motives of becoming a e-hailing driver. The results identified job preferences and competency as significant predictors for e-hailing service sustainability, while job resilience is not significant. These findings may help e-hailing companies to better understand what drivers look for in their employment. Additionally, this study provides insight for individuals who are currently considering becoming e-hailing drivers in the promising and ever evolving e-hailing services.

The rapid transformation of Kuala Lumpur conurbation has seen a rise in the demand for private vehicle ownership among commuters, thus leading to an increase in the overall level of congestion within the city center. Towards reducing such issues and focusing on the significance of travel demand management, this study examined the willingness of private vehicle users in using the park and ride facilities. A convenience survey was conducted on 199 respondents through multiple linear regression. It was found that socioeconomic, trip, and technology characteristics have a significant relationship with a willingness to park and ride. The result may assist future transport planners in improving the overall parking management strategies of the city centre.Keywords: Willingness, park and ride, Kuala Lumpur conurbation, regressioneISSN: 2398-4287 © 2019.
