This study aims at exploring the psychological determinants that influence job search intention among fresh graduates. Digital innovations have changed the employment landscape that allows people to have flexible job opportunities. Building from the theory of planned behaviour, job search attitude, subjective norms, self-efficacy and perceived behaviour control were predicted to have positive effect on job search intention. A survey was conducted and the results of the regression test show job search attitude, subjective norms and self-efficacy as determinants to job search intention, but the relationship between perceived behavioural control and job search intention was found to be negative. In fact, the strongest linkage is between self-efficacy and job search intention. The findings should alert employers, academic institutions and policy makers of the recent trend in employment, as the fresh graduates are one of the most valued supply of labour force. The study also highlights how digital era and the cyber community have shaped the younger generations perception of work engagement as the transition towards social mobility.

– To implement Big Data extensively in the public sector, many governments around the world are taking their initiative to ensure that Open Government Data (OGD) is a success. Even though the governments had provided thousands of datasets in the open data website, the level of use of open government data is still a question that has not been resolved. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to propose a new model of measuring the level of use of open government data. By integrating the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), IS Success Model (ISSM) and Trust factors, this new model perhaps can be a major contribution to the governments in ensuring that citizens are getting benefits from the datasets provided in the open data website.
