Developing a Model to Enhance Employability for Graduates with Disabilities in Negri Sembilan's Private Sector, Malaysia

Purpose: This research is to design a comprehensive strategy to improve employability of graduates who have disabilities in the business sector of Negri Sembilan in Malaysia. Notwithstanding their relevant qualities, these people encounter considerable obstacles to employment, such as attitudinal prejudices, insufficient workplace accommodations, and discrepancies between their skills and employer expectations. The study used a mixed-methods approach to identify significant obstacles and evaluate the readiness of private sector firms to employ handicapped graduates. Findings: The study indicates that while several private sector businesses are inclined to employ graduates with impairments, they encounter obstacles concerning accessibility, knowledge, and preparation. Identified key impediments are inadequate training opportunities, adverse views toward disability, and the absence of support structures inside enterprises. The suggested strategy includes specialized training programs, promotion of inclusive hiring practices, and strategic alliances with disability groups, designed to align the abilities of handicapped graduates with corporate needs. Implications/Values: The results underscore the need for systemic reform in employment processes to promote diversity and fairness throughout the workforce. This concept, by aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals—especially in fostering decent work and mitigating inequalities—has the potential to cultivate a more inclusive job environment in Negri Sembilan. The results are anticipated to provide significant insights for policymakers, employers, and disability advocacy organizations, facilitating improved socio-economic inclusion and empowerment with disabilities in the labor market.

Teachers’ Metaphors and Beliefs about Teaching and their Relationship with Job Satisfaction

This research focuses on Estonian teachers’ beliefs about teaching, the metaphors of their knowledge base, and the emotions connected with being a teacher. The relationships between these aspects and teacher job satisfaction were explored. In total, 658 mathematics, English language, biology, and class teachers participated in the research. The research applied a mostly quantitative design involving a mixed methods approach. The results highlight the complexity of teachers’ understanding of their role. Statistically significant differences were found between the teacher groups participating in the study. The results showed that the affective connotations of metaphors teachers attach to their work are related to teachers’ job satisfaction. However, there were no significant differences between teacher groups based on the nature of their metaphor and their beliefs about teaching.

Differences in teachers’ perception of job demands and resources related to well-being according to schools’ strategic human resource management?

ABSTRACT A substantial body of research has shown that the use of strategic human resource management (SHRM) can influence employees’ job resources thereby facilitating well-being. However, little evidence exists on the link between SHRM and teachers’ perception of job demands and job resources in the school. Based on semi-structured interviews with school leaders and team members, a comparative analysis between excellent and moderate strategic schools was conducted. The results indicate that: 1) various aspects of the teaching job and school environment are perceived both as job demand and resource by teachers and 2) teachers in moderated strategic schools perceive on average more demands related to the school leader compared to excellent strategic schools. Suggestions for further research and practical implications are discussed.

A STUDY OF FACTORS INFLUENCING WORK ENTHUSIASM OF THAI EMPLOYEES OF CHINESE ENTERPRISES IN THAILAND (THE CASE STUDY OF Z RUBBER COMPANY)

With China's "Belt and Road" and "Going Global" initiatives implemented, an increasing number of Chinese enterprises are investing and establishing operations in Thailand. Among these companies in Thailand, Thai employees constitute the primary human resources. Many Chinese enterprises still rely on management practices based on Chinese experience; however, this approach does not entirely align with the actual situation of Thai employees. This misalignment between management practices and employee realities has a direct impact on Thai employees' work enthusiasm, thereby influencing market competitiveness and sustainable development of Chinese enterprises in Thailand. Taking Z Rubber Thailand Company as an example, this paper aims to explore methods to enhance the work enthusiasm of Thai employees by drawing on previous research on employee work enthusiasm. This study conducted a questionnaire survey of Thai employees at Z Rubber Thailand Company, resulting in 312 valid responses. The analysis revealed that six factors primarily influence the job enthusiasm of Thai employees in Sino-Thai companies: job characteristics, promotion opportunities, work relationships, working conditions and environment, salary policies, and welfare policies.

Self-initiated protection behavior based on Magna Carta of women: Women health workers, teachers, and minimum-wage earners in the workplace

The problem of violence in the workplace continues to expand and it casts a shadow on organizational environments all around the world. This phenomenon extends to different fields or sectors and is pervasive throughout a wide range of job environments, such as those in the healthcare industry, educational institutions, local and informal economies, and service industries. The purpose of this study was to analyze the actions of working women when their rights had been/will be violated. This quantitative study was conducted in Zamboanga Peninsula, Philippines among women in academe (n=121) and health institutions (n=39), and women of minimum-wage earners (n=42). Findings indicated that working women in the region tend to seek information outside their organizations when violence will happen; they also seek information when their rights once were violated. In some instances, they would only file a complaint when they feel discriminated against and when equal rights in the workplace are not well implemented. Notably, minimum-wage earners and health workers are more likely to file a complaint than teachers. The findings resonate with broader societal patterns wherein hesitancy to report workplace violations are deeply embedded. Such behaviors perpetuate gender-based violence and hinder the development of gender-sensitive and conducive workplaces. To deconstruct the gender and development (GAD) limitations, interventions need to extend beyond the present organizational policies to instill a culture of empowerment and safety for all individuals, fostering an environment conducive to open discussions, proactive conflict resolution mechanisms, and reliable report systems.

The implementation of quarantine measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic presented challenges linked to adverse psychological effects, notably affecting individuals' eating patterns. This study aimed to investigate the eating patterns of individuals during lockdowns compared across sex, age, and income levels, and examine the influence of positive and negative emotions, as well as loneliness, on these patterns. Across-sectional online studywas conducted with 450 participants (aged 18-74 years old). One questionnaire about demographics, the Demographic Questionnaire, and three validated self-report scales (Eating Attitudes Test, comprising the Dieting, Bulimia, and Food Preoccupation, and Oral Control subscales, the Modified Differential Emotions Scale, and the UCLA Loneliness Scale) were employed. Convenience and snowball sampling were used. The data were collected between April and May 2021, primarily through social media platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. The survey questionnaire was shared via these platforms and users could answer if they wanted. Also, they were asked to send the questionnaire to their closecontacts. Additionally, the survey questionnairewas distributedface-to-face to 80 participants. The statistical analyses included linear regression and mediation analyses. Abnormal eating patterns (e.g. eating behaviors that tend to have signs of diet such as constant avoidance of fattening foods, the individual's involvement with becoming leaner, extreme control or preoccupation with food, overeating and purging methods)were identified in 25% of the 450 participants participated in this survey, aged 18-74 years. Moderate levels of negative/positive emotions and loneliness were predominantly reported.Female sexwas significantly associated withabnormal eating patterns (p=0.010), particularly dietary behaviors (p=0.029).Negative emotions (p=0.032) and loneliness (p=0.001) emerged as predictive factors for overall eating patterns and bulimic behaviors. Negative emotions exhibited a direct correlation with eating patterns, while loneliness played a significant mediating role (p=0.032). Furthermore, the association between negative emotions and bulimia was partially mediated by loneliness (p=0.018). This study underscores the pivotal roles of negative emotions and loneliness in shaping eating patterns during quarantine.Multilevel public health interventionsare needed to address the negative effects of quarantine and pandemics in general. Screening tests for mental health in the school and job environments could highlight the need for shaping interventions, such as counseling, group empowerment, and family support in order to mitigate the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on eating behaviors and mental health in general.

Challenges and impact of the gig economy

The dynamic landscape of global business, fueled by technological innovations, intense competition, and evolving consumer expectations, has prompted businesses to undergo significant restructuring. In response to these challenges, innovative business structures, particularly the gig economy, have emerged as a transformative force. The gig economy, facilitated by digital platforms, has redefined traditional work models, allowing individuals to engage in temporary and flexible jobs across various industries. While providing flexibility for workers and cost-effectiveness for businesses, the gig economy has an uncertainty of jobs for workers, their rights, and the need for regulatory frameworks. This paper explores the evolution of the gig economy and its effect on the job environment, labour policies, and regulations. It highlights the advantages of gig work, such as flexibility and job expansion, while also addressing the challenges, including job insecurity and the potential for social and ethical dumping. The role of gig platforms in reshaping labour markets, particularly in empowering women in certain regions, is discussed. The paper emphasizes the necessity of adapting employment laws to accommodate the unique nature of gig work, considering factors like control exertion and triangular relationships. Moreover, the paper delves into issues of discrimination faced by gig workers based on gender or race, both domestically and internationally. It recognizes the potential benefits of outsourcing gig work in developing countries but underscores the ethical concerns of “ethics dumping” and the need for safeguards. The impact on workers’ well-being, social integration, and the lack of protection under employment laws are discussed as challenges arising from the detachment of gig workers from conventional work environments. In response to these challenges, the paper examines existing policy initiatives, such as the European Union’s efforts to regulate gig work, emphasizing the importance of building a skilled workforce and addressing concerns related to platform work. However, it identifies gaps in addressing ethical challenges, particularly in the realm of algorithmic systems and the need for comprehensive measures to protect the rights of gig workers’ rights thus focusing on their welfare. The paper advocates for a holistic approach to address the ethical challenges posed by the expanding gig economy. It calls for a balance between flexibility and ethical considerations, envisioning a gig economy that not only meets market demands but also prioritizes fairness, equity, and the well-being of its workforce.
