The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of demographic variables and family related barriers on women managers' career development in government-linked companies in Malaysia. A theoretical framework was developed based on review of literature and two main hypotheses and five sub-hypotheses were proposed to be tested. A correlation study was used in this study based on quantitative research approach. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data. A sample of 466 of women managers collected from Malaysian government-linked companies. The results showed that job level, age, marital status, highest education qualification and family related barriers have significant relationship with women managers' career development.

The aim of this study was to identify the needs of prospective MBA with reference to three MBA programmes offered by a university. The three programmes are conventional MBA full time programme, conventional MBA part time programme and the fast track one year executive MBA programme. The research design was a cross-sectional field study. The research instrument was a structured questionnaire. A convenience sampling techniques was used to select the respondents. Based on the review of literature, six propositions were developed to be tested. The result of the study found that selection of the MBA programme was based on the needs of the respondents. The study also found that there was no association between age, sex, highest educational qualification and reason for studying MBA with choice of MBA programme. There was a significant relationship between employment and work experience with choice of MBA programme. Ability to choose the specialization they want for their job ranked first among reasons for selecting the conventional MBA programmes. The opportunity to pursue a one year fast track programme which was more manageable for working adults like them ranked first as the reason for selecting the executive MBA programme. Of the six research propositions, four were rejected while two were not rejected.

The main aim of this study is to identify the barriers and enablers to Malaysian women's entrepreneurship. A mixed method was used in this study. A qualitative approach using Delphi technique was used to obtain consensus on the barriers and enablers. This was incorporated into a questionnaire which was used in the survey of women entrepreneurs to obtain quantitative data on the barriers and enablers to women's entrepreneurship. The respondents were 130 participants of a seminar for women entrepreneurs conducted by the Women's Development Department of the Ministry of Women, Family and Community. The study found that the three top barriers were the lack of KSAOs followed by restrictive legalities, regulations and procedures and lack of business support and network. Personality and self-efficacy emerged as the most important enabler followed by support for businesses from government and women focused initiatives from government and NGOs.

The purpose of this study is to determine if internal marketing (IM) is a useful internal tool for the economic unit to enhance organisational performance (OP) and job satisfaction (JS) in Malaysian private universities (PU). The primary objective of this study is to develop a theoretical framework for the creation of a comprehensive measurement scale that emphasises the direct use of IM in PUs and enables PUs to achieve strategic goals such as bolstering lecturers' job satisfaction and organisational performance. The significance of the relationship between IM, JS, and OP is determined using a quantitative technique approach within the context of hypothesis testing. The respondents are lecturers from Malaysian private universities. This study contributes to the literature in two ways: first, it examines the relationship between internal marketing, job satisfaction, and organisational performance in the context of private universities, an industry where marketing issues remain understudied; and second, it provides a theoretical framework for the development of internal marketing within an organisation, with a focus on PUs. In this situation, the resilience and success of PUs can be attributed, in part, to the lecturers' capacity to defend their institutions against an intimidating environment and maintain growth.
