M-Learning using BYOD is an effective learning medium that will be developed to support enforcement officers at the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA) Malaysia. Nevertheless, the problem statement study identified workload and constraints, limited training, and limited reference sources, which will be discussed in this article. Therefore, this study will face problem statements and examine the effect of mobile learning BYOD with different job positions view. To evaluate the level of acceptance and use of the application POT@MDTCA, the researchers applied the UTAUT2 constructs in the study. This study is qualitative in a nature case study. Methodology interviews were conducted with six respondents from different job positions at MDTCA Penang. This study showed that mobile learning with the "BYOD" concept is needed to achieve individual competencies in enforcement. The researchers have identified the rationale of the mobile learning BYOD concept is needed by enforcement officers to increase skills in learning opportunities development. The implications of this study will be significant to improve competency course achievement in knowledge and skills of enforcement to all MDTCA Malaysia.

Purpose This study aims to understand the influence of cartoon characters on the generation alpha (GA) in purchase decision-making, supported by the theory of planned behaviour. Design/methodology/approach Quantitative study was used to collect data from 294 Indian parents on behalf of their children (between 8 and 12 years) using convenience sampling and 20 items Likert scale questionnaire. Partial least squares-structural equation modelling was used to analyse the data and for hypothesis testing. Findings The study shows the favourable impact of cartoon characters to influence the behaviour of GA while making the final purchase decision. The likability was found to be significantly related to the recall, willingness to try/buy. The recall was significantly related to willingness to try/buy and purchase intention. Willingness to try/but was significantly related to purchase intention, but it has no significant relation with the final purchase decision, whereas purchase intention had significant relation with the final purchase decision. Practical implications The study indicates that generating likability for cartoon characters among GA is important. Managers should recognize that although parents make the final purchase decision, however, children play an influential role. Advertisers should plan their communication accordingly. An emotional connection with cartoons can influence GA, which further impacts recall, willingness to try/buy, purchase intention and decision. Originality/value Various studies have been conducted in western countries, but very few studies have been conducted in emerging markets like India, highlighting cartoon characters’ influence on GA’s purchase decision-making, with theoretical underpinnings. The study also explores the importance of GA, an emerging consumer market in today’s digitalized era, which is highly influenced by technological gadgets. It becomes challenging for marketers to promote their products on television to influence GA purchase behaviour.

Growing competition and the increasing need for adaptability often require organizations to switch and convert themselves according to the demand of circumstances. In this process of reformation, employee performance gets affected by many aspects. Aiming at connecting two broad occupational concepts this article analyses and tests the effect of Job Design and Ergonomics on Employee Performance and the relatedness of Job Design and Ergonomics. The research was conducted in 32 organizations, having managers and supervisors at about 64 categories of designations handling teams of workers in the manufacturing units, of the automotive sector of India. This quantitative study, based on a sample collected through 5 points Likert scale questionnaires, was analysed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), correlation, and multivariate regression analysis. The results manifested that CFA model and regression analysis described a significant impact of Job Design and Ergonomics on Employee Performance. The correlation outcomes revealed that Job Design and Ergonomics were well connected having p-value of .00, p < .005. The findings suggested, while focusing on improving the employee upshot, it becomes necessary for organizations to include Ergonomics in Job Design as a Design for Safety.
