READINESS OF HALAL MANAGEMENT STUDENTS FOR EMPLOYABILITY

The students readiness for employability is a growing concern for Higher Education Institutions as it directly impacts the institutions mission, reputation, relationships with stakeholders and its broader contribution to the economy and society. This paper aims to analyse the correlation and effect of personal attributes and basic Halal-related skills on the readiness of final-year Halal Management students for employability. The study was conducted quantitatively through a survey method with 211 final-year Halal Management students from Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Shah Alam, Malaysia and Universiti Islam Selangor (UIS), Malaysia. The data analysis techniques employed are Correlation Analysis and Multiple Linear Regression Analysis using the IBM Statistical for Product and Service Solution (SPSS) version 28 program. The results indicated there were moderately positive significant relationships between Personal Attributes (r=.614, p<0.01) and highly positive significance between Basic Halal-Related Skills (r=.718, p<0.01) with Readiness for Employability. Moreover, the study also indicated that the two independent variables Personal Attributes (X1) and Basic Halal-related Skills (X2) affect the dependent variable Readiness for Employability (Y). The correlation coefficient (R) = 0.758 indicates a positive and strong relationship between Personal Attributes and Basic Halal-Related Skills on Readiness for Employability among final-year Halal students at UiTM Shah Alam and UIS. The coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.574 indicates the independent variable to predict the dependent variable by 57%, while the remaining 43% is influenced by other factors. This study accentuates the pivotal role of students personal attributes and basic Halal-related skills in fostering students readiness for employability. The research underscores the importance of these factors in equipping students with the necessary competencies to meet the job markets needs for better graduate employability.

Changes in perception and the effects of personal attributes in decision-making as imaginary future generations: evidence from participatory environmental planning

We conducted a Future Design deliberation workshop on the theme of the “3rd Environmental Master Plan” of Suita City, Osaka Prefecture over four sessions in 2019, with the participation of both city residents and officials of the city government. To condition the deliberations of participants, we adopted the method of Imaginary Future Generations (IFGs) and analyzed its impact on their future vision of the city in 2050, policy options needed to shape that future, and changes in their perceptions. We also investigated how the adoption of IFGs affects the relationships between personal attributes and the changes in their perception. The results of variance analysis and multiple linear regression analysis based on data from the deliberations and questionnaire surveys of participants revealed the following: (1) the content and quality of the 2050 vision of society and policy options conceived from the perspective of the IFGs significantly differed from those conceived from the perspective of the current generations; (2) IFGs heightened certain perceptions, such as “a sense of crisis about the future” and “a shared recognition of goals that are desirable for society as a whole”; and (3) although the degree of “critical thinking”, as a disposition of individuals, influences the heightening of perceptions in decision-making from the perspective of the current generations, when IFGs is adopted, the degree of “critical thinking” seems to be no longer a factor in heightening these perceptions. These findings could be useful for designing mechanisms to facilitate sustainable decision-making that considers the interests of future generations.

Effect of the Migration Option on Rural Microenterprise Establishment Decisions in the Mfantsiman Municipality of Ghana

The role of microenterprise in providing economic opportunities and employment options to the poor due to their ease of entry is recognised across the world. To enhance rural job creation through microenterprise development interventions, it is essential to understand how microenterprise establishment decisions are made among rural dwellers. The study examined how the option to migrate to other localities affects microenterprise establishment decisions among rural dwellers in the Mfantsiman Municipality of Ghana. A mixed method design was used in the study. This involved a cross-sectional survey of 20 rural communities, during which data was collected from 800 respondents. Data were also collected from one focus group in each of the 20 communities. A conjoint decision analysis was carried out from interactions of the attributes of each respondent with the migration factor and other socio-economic factors. The migration option reduced the probability of local microenterprise establishment, with the most significant effect among people aged between 15 and 30 years. Furthermore, rural microenterprise establishment decisions are least influenced by the interactive effect of personal attributes and the migration factor as compared to interaction with other factors including access to electricity, institutional support services, market for outputs and returns on investment.

Interaction of African American Learners Online: An Adult Education Perspective

ABSTRACTThis study examines how various life factors and personal attributes affect African American adult learners’ use of the three types of learning interaction—learner–content, learner–instructor, and learner–learner. Multivariate multiple regression analyses were used. The aggregate effect of life factors on African American adult learners’ use of the three types of learning interaction is strong whereas the aggregate effect of personal attributes shows minimal predictive power. This study confirms the importance of using adult learning theories and principles to understand the nature of adult learning online.

Underemployment among Mexican-origin women

The authors compare the determinants of three forms of marginal employment between Mexican-origin and white women: unemployment, involuntary part-time employment, and working poverty. They address two main questions. First, are there differences between Mexican-origin and white women in the propensity for unemployment, involuntary part-time employment, and working poverty? Second, do the effects of personal characteristics and job location on underemployment vary by ethnicity? Data are drawn from the Annual Social and Economic (ASEC) Supplement File of the 2005 Current Population Survey (CPS). Using multinomial logistic regression models, we show that ethnicity matters in the likelihood of working poverty but not for the other forms of underemployment. Results also reveal that the effects of personal attributes and job location on the likelihood of unemployment, involuntary part-time employment, and working poverty vary for each ethnic group, leading to a double disadvantage for working poor Mexican-origin women.

The role of personal attributes and social support factors on passive behaviour in classroom among secondary school students: a prospective study

The present study prospectively explored the effects of personal attributes (self-esteem and introversion) and social support factors on passive behaviour in the classroom in a sample of 259 (132 females, 127 males) students in two secondary schools. In the longitudinal multivariate analysis, the student’s perceived passive behaviour in the classroom at time-point two (T2) was predicted by the initial level of passive behaviour, self-esteem, introversion, and by social support from classmates. Support from teachers and parents at time-point one (T1) were not associated with passive behaviour in the classroom.

The Sociocultural Model of Eating Disturbance in Young Women: The Effects of Personal Attributes and Family Environment

The current study was designed to replicate previous research documenting the links between exposure to thinness norms and eating pathology and to extend it by examining the influence of personality and environmental factors hypothesized to be protective. Questionnaire and anthropometric data were provided by 249 undergraduate women during a single session. Multiple regression analyses were then used to establish that internalization of a “thin ideal” and body dissatisfaction mediated the relation between exposure to thinness norms and eating pathology. Further, personality measures reflecting nonconformity, self-esteem, and perceived shape, as well as the social influences of family, moderated the links between exposure to thinness norms and eating pathology. Nonconformity and low family pressures to control weight moderated the relation between exposure to thinness norms and internalization of such norms; perceived shape moderated the relation between thin-ideal internalization and body dissatisfaction; self-esteem moderated the relation between body dissatisfaction and disordered eating. These findings suggest that family environment and personal attributes may play key roles in the development of eating disorders, with potentially important implications for preventive interventions.

Living Up to Expectations: Public Attitudes Toward Congress

Americans' feelings about the performance of Congress range across the spectrum from positive to negative, but tend to be negative What accounts for supportive or unsupportive orientations toward Congress? The effects of personal attributes like socioeconomic status, or beliefs about the efficacy of congressional processes, account for only part of citizens' evaluations of Congress We argue that discrepancies between what people expect Congress to be like and what they perceive it actually is like independently affect evaluations of Congress. We measure this expectation-perception and demonstrate in a multivariate explanatory environment that this discrepancy affects the extent of Americans' favorableness toward Congress, drawing upon data gathered in a 1994 postelection survey (N = 808) conducted in Ohio by the Polimetrics Laboratory for Social and Political Research at Ohio State University.

Effects of Personal Attributes and Performance on the Level of CEO Compensation: Direct and Interaction Effects

CEO compensation is shown to be not only related to size and performance but also to personal attributes. CEO compensation is found to be positively related to the number of years as a CEO and to the interaction of age and tenure and negatively related to tenure and to the interaction of age and number of years as a CEO.

Prominence in a Network of Communication: Work Relations in a Children's Psychiatric Hospital

Colleague consultation in professional organizations is both important and commonplace. One consequence of consultation is that some individuals acquire more prominence than others in the work contact networks. The literature suggests that variation in prominence depends on personal characteristics, such as occupation, education, ascribed traits, and activities both inside and outside the organization. Using sociometric data for the staff members of a psychiatric hospital for children, various hypotheses dealing with the effects of personal attributes are examined. An alternative explanation is that social relations within and between organizational subunits influence the likelihood that subunit members will be prominent in the hospital-wide communication network. The analysis indicates that these subunit relations have direct effects on prominence and also mediate the effects of certain personal characteristics.
