“…It is critical to respect the rights of organisational team members, as it facilitates participation and autonomy, safeguarding growth and learning within the workplace (Keith, 1996;Torlak et al, 2021). It has been shown that individuals find greater happiness in their work due to the increased level of autonomy they are granted in decision-making and responsibility (Karlberg-Granlund, 2019;Thien & Lee, 2023).…”

This study aimed to determine the associations between engineers' perceptions of participative decision-making and autonomy, and their creative performance. The study utilised a paired matchup technique, with engineers and managers as respondents. Managers were responsible for assessing engineers' creative performance. Due to the study match-up design, questionnaires measuring participative decision-making, autonomy, and creative performance were distributed to the electrical and electronic manufacturing firms. SmartPLS software was used to analyse the hypothesised relationships. The results indicated that engineers' participative decision-making significantly predicted autonomy dimensions (work schedule, work criterion, and work method). Engineers' autonomy regarding work schedule, work criterion, and work method had no positive relationship with creative performance. The results showed that engineers' work schedule, work criterion, and work method negatively mediated the relationships between participative decision-making and creative performance. The findings indicated an insignificant direct effect and negative mediation of engineers' work schedule, work criterion, and work method on creative performance, pointing to the structured nature of work. This situation leaves engineers with minimal opportunity to determine the work designs, time allocations, and multicriteria of job descriptions. The study recommends potential directions for studying the improvement of engineers' creative performance in future studies.

“…Teachers should actively engage in talent development programs to enhance their skills for use in the classroom. An et al (2022b) viewed school administrator leadership with the assistance of information technology as an Thien and Lee (2023) indicates that developing countries like Malaysia do not prioritize school culture that supports teachers' well-being, including their working conditions (Admiraal and Kittelsen Røberg, 2023) which include skill-enhancing programs among teachers. Job satisfaction and emotional stability among teachers are influenced by the situation and the level of attention they receive.…”

PurposeThis study investigates the level and correlation between talent management and teacher personal qualities among MICSS (Malaysian Independent Chinese Secondary School) teachers by integrating the talent management model proposed by Davies and Davies (2011) and the Big Five Structure established by Lewis R. Goldberg (1992).Design/methodology/approachThe researcher conducted quantitative research methods in this study, collecting numerical data through the use of questionnaires and utilizing the stratified random sampling technique. The sample consisted of 357 Malaysian teachers who are employed by MICSS throughout the whole Malaysian context.FindingsIn essence, the survey revealed a significant degree of proficiency in talent management and teacher personal qualities among teachers. In addition, this study also revealed a moderate correlation between talent management and the personal traits of teachers across MICSS teachers in Malaysia.Research limitations/implicationsLimiting the investigation solely to MICSS is a noteworthy limitation. The examination also utilizes AMOS structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis, and it may be considered a restriction of this research that quantitative survey research is employed.Practical implicationsAcademic establishments and universities that nurture prospective educators should incorporate talent management strategies and the personal qualities of teachers into the modules of teacher training to ensure that these individuals are not only adequately prepared but also assured of their ability to execute all duties assigned to them in a professional manner.Originality/valueThis research is notably innovative in the context of the Malaysian MICSS, where little evidence exists regarding talent management and teacher personality traits in education. This study, to the best of our knowledge, is the first attempt to investigate the practices and correlation between talent management and teacher personality traits in the entire Malaysian context. The research focuses on the practices of talent management towards MICSS teachers in Malaysia as well as the personal qualities of MICSS teachers.

This study aims to investigate the linear and nonlinear (non‐compensation) effects of teacher leadership on teacher well‐being dimensions through the three basic psychological needs dimensions (autonomy, competence, and relatedness). This quantitative cross‐sectional study used partial least squares structural equation modelling and artificial neural network (ANN) for data analysis. Data were collected using survey questionnaires from 728 Malaysian primary school teachers. All the direct (linear) and indirect effects of teacher leadership on teacher well‐being dimensions through teachers' basic psychological needs were significant. The ANN analysis revealed that competence, a dimension of teacher basic psychological needs, was the strongest predictor of workload well‐being and student interaction well‐being. Autonomy was the strongest predictor of organisational well‐being. Implications and future studies are presented.
