COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound effect on campuses, compelling learning systems to shift away from face-to-face engagement and toward online instruction. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of remote learning in the event of a COVID-19 pandemic. To obtain responses, a self-administered online survey was used. After data screening, 315 data were proceeded to the next analysis. Additionally, the data were devoid of missing cases and outliers. The measuring model was evaluated for indicator and internal consistency reliability, convergent and discriminant validity. Meanwhile, the structural model was evaluated by SmartPLS version 3.2.9 utilising the bootstrapping approach. Findings revealed self-discipline and flexibility were significant towards effectiveness of online learning among students at the UiTM Kelantan, Kota Bharu Campus. The findings argue that, in the modern era, internet technologies have increased the flexibility of post secondary education in a variety of ways. Institutions should make strategic use of these new flexibility, concentrating on chances to engage students more deeply in learning that results in practical outcomes.
An organisation is frequently stated to be only as good as its human capital, which means that people are important to the firm's success. The achievement of organizational goals is a critical component of employee success. As a result, the organisation requires capable people. When people do not perform successfully, it has an effect on their performance and the organization's overall success. Thus, the purpose of this study is to determine the factors that influence an employee's performance. Three independent variables affecting employee performance are identified based on an extensive literature analysis and the Job Demand-Control-Support (JDCS) model. They are time pressure, lack of motivation, and heavy workload. As a result, the research model was suggested. A pilot study was undertaken among academics at Universiti Teknologi MARA, Kelantan campus. The details of the factors contributing to an employee's performance were described using descriptive statistics. The results of this study will be utilized to improve the instrument, which will then be used to collect data from a wider pool of respondents.
This article presents youths’ opinions on the positive or negative Coronavirus (COVID-19) impacts from economic and daily routine perspectives. Interview sessions were conducted to determine the intricacies encountered by Malaysian youth communities. Although adverse effects involving unemployment denoted the key issue of local youth communities, positive counterparts were equally identified. For example, youths strived to venture into novel fields (online businesses and food delivery services) following new social norms. Predictably, this study would increase policymakers’ awareness in determining the positive and negative influences faced by marginalised youths during the COVID-19 health crisis.
The entrepreneurship education of Muslim SME millennials is still a question. This issue needs to be the main focus of developing an education model for youth that can be applied in their career and potentially become entrepreneurs who build their dynamic and successful SMEs. The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of entrepreneurial spirits, namely innovative, risk-taking, and proactive, on the success of Muslim millennial SMEs. The study employed a quantitative and deductive approach. The questionnaire was used as a data collection instrument. Data were gathered from a random sample of 150 respondents, comprising millennial entrepreneurs in Malaysian public universities, aged 22 to 38 years old and with at least three years of business experience. Proposed hypotheses were tested using Multiple Regression analysis. The findings reveal the significant and positive effect of innovation, risk-taking, and proactive on Muslim millennial SMEs' success, implying that a higher level of innovation, risk-taking, and proactive, is more likely to yield in Muslim millennial SMEs' success. Thus, Muslim millennial SMEs' success can be generated by instilling entrepreneurial spirit. In addition to empirical evidence, the findings provide fresh insights into how entrepreneurs can formulate strategies to achieve business success.
