This paper describes whether performance feedback can greatly affect job performance. Hence, this study intends to determine the effects of feedback environment (i.e. its dimensions of source credibility, feedback quality, feedback delivery, favorable feedback, unfavorable feedback, source availability and promotes feedback seeking) as well as feedback orientation (i.e. its dimensions of utility, accountability, social awareness, and feedback selfefficacy) towards job performance. Feedback is defined as information about performance that allows a performer to change his or her behavior. Whilst performance feedback is often described as information that is presented to a performer that enables a change in his or her future performance. Feedback environment is characterized by the availability of valid and valuable feedback that is provided in a constructive way and on a regular basis). On the other hand, feedback orientation is employee's willingness and ability to receive, process, and use feedback. Using purposive samples of 96 academician of a public university in Malaysia, the findings of this study established that, feedback orientation of feedback self-efficacy and feedback environment of favorable feedback have significant effects towards job performance. The significance of this study can contribute numerous advantages to many organisations and the corporate sectors in forming their business strategy specially to cope with industry revolution 4.0 in Malaysia. This study also provides the human resources management team further insights on ways to improve job performance and this will allow organisations to gain profitable entity. Apart from that, this study will provide some directions for future researchers in concerning of feedback and job performance studies.
Intrinsic motivation is driven by internal rewards that are satisfying to the individuals. In the context of learning, intrinsic motivation is imperative as the outcome of the learning process was found to be more sustainable and high quality. Since intrinsic motivation comes from within individual, thus it is interesting to explore self-concept variables that lead to intrinsic motivation. Thus, the aims of the study are firstly, to determine the relationship between self- efficacy and instrinsic motivation to learn; secondly, to determine the relationship between self-efficacy and instrinsic motivation to learn. Data were collected using questionnaire survey to 200 bachelor degree program students in a public university in Malaysia. Data were then analyzed using SPSS Statistics. Findings of the study indicate that out of the two independent variables, only self-efficacy was found to influence intrinsic motivation to learn among students. This study is imperative to the educators and higher learning institutions in identifying self-concepts variables that are significant in motivating students intrinsically. This study also provides insights in designing relevant policies, programs and workshops for the students in increasing self-efficacy among students.
Modern society now uses happiness as one of the primary indicators of social advancement. Happiness is vital to the energetic millennial generation, especially for university students. As a result, the first goal of this study is to ascertain the relationship between extraversion and happiness. The second goal is to ascertain the relationship between conscientiousness and happiness in Malaysia. The third goal is to ascertain the relationship between intrinsic motivation and happiness. 120 business faculty students in a private institution in Malaysia who were enrolled in bachelor's degree programmes received online surveys. A "Likert-type scale" was used to determine the degree of agreement or disagreement with relation to happiness using the Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS). All of the questions were created to be closed-ended for simple analysis of the feedback. The results of the study demonstrated a positive, statistically significant relationship between happiness and the three independent variables of extraversion, conscientiousness, and intrinsic motivation. This study also sheds light on providing extracurricular activities that can increase students' happiness.
