This study examines how students learn business mathematics using Google Classroom (GC). The data came from open-ended Likert Scale questionnaires given to 88 undergraduate students, 62 of whom were female and 26 of whom were male. The information was gathered through an online survey based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). This study aimed to explore the usefulness of GC in learning Business Mathematics with two research objectives, which are (1) to describe how undergraduate students studying business mathematics responded to questions on their behavior intentions and how well they used Google Classroom, and (2) to investigate the relationship between behavior intention and effective use of Google Classroom among undergraduate students learning Business Mathematics.

Open education resources (OER) have emerged as an innovative platform that is expected to aid teaching and learning process, particularly in online or distance learning. Despite the promises, OER adoption in educational institutions has been less than encouraging. In fact, there are numerous barriers to it, many of which come from within the OER user community itself. As a result of these barriers, students have been discouraged from using the OER platform. Therefore, the study was undertaken to examine the barriers in OER application by the students. The study also intended to assess the practicality of OSeL Bin which is an application developed to assist the OER. The study involved Universiti Teknologi MARA students who were particularly enrolled in a business communication course. It was to empirically determine how well this application supported their teaching and learning, especially in completing assignments, both with and without OSeL Bin. The results showed several OER hurdles such as capabilities, exposure, and support systems within the educational institutions themselves that restricted and discouraged the students from utilising OER in their teaching and learning. Positive feedbacks regarding OSeL Bin's effectiveness were obtained, particularly in completing the students' assignments on time. These were reported via the use of TAM Model by looking at the application's ease of use that contributed to the initial intention of using and finally implementing the OSeL Bin into the students' teaching and learning processes.

Halal concept plays important role among Muslim society in Malaysia. The Qur'an commands Muslims to only eat halal food. Social media acts as one of the latest marketing trending due to digitalization of businesses in the world.

CSR is one of the most important social factors that may influence employees' commitment, engagement, and job satisfaction. It also acts as a foundation stone for building employees' attitudes and behaviour. However, there are still insufficient studies that systematically review the existing literature on CSR and employee performance. Hence, this article systematically reviewed articles on the impact of CSR on employee performance. Guided by the PRISMA Statement (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) review method, the articles were selected from the leading database, Scopus and a supporting database, Google Scholar. The review mainly focused on the moderators and the impact of CSR on employee performance. The study offered several significant contributions for practical purposes and body of knowledge to encourage companies and organizations to implement activities that promote employee welfare to increase their performance.
