Abstract
This study aims to identify the effect of Teachers’ Work Ethics (TWE) practice based on the teachers’ work ethics code outlined by the Ministry of Education (MOE). The research sample involved teachers who are teaching at one of the daily schools in the Kubang Pasu District whom were given intervention for a month. Questionnaire was used to seek the effect of intervention prescribed in the effort to develop TWE Model. The study employed inferential statistics of t-test paired sample to see the difference between pre test and post test result. The finding showed that there is an increase in ethics practice in terms of the right intention, good conduct, initiator of goodness, fulfilling promise and; disciplined and civilised. However, in the aspect of discipline and conduct, there is significant difference between pre and post test that is (p< 0.05). This difference shows that teachers focus more on practicing this particular aspect in their daily lives. Study findings give the implication that attitude, training and role of leaders are important in determining that this principle is implemented successfully.

Summary
Interested groups, including policymakers, are concerned that consumers lack a working knowledge of financial concepts and do not have the tools they need to make decisions most advantageous to their economic well-being (Braunstein and Welch, 2002). It has been argued that the most concerning issues regarding the low levels of financial literacy among consumers is the possible negative effects for economic behavior (Hogarth et al, 2005) including lack of saving (Lusardi and Mitchell, 2007). In the context of Malaysia, statistics issued by Malaysian Insolvency Department (MDL) show that number of individual person declared bankrupt is keep increasing from year to year. These bankruptcy cases have been argued as, to some extent, reflect poor money management skills amongst Malaysian (Anwar, 2011)
