State control of public sports associations: administrative and legal aspect

The article examines the administrative and legal foundations of state supervision over public associations of sports in Ukraine. Sports federations are considered key institutions that ensure the development of sports infrastructure, the organization of national and international competitions, the promotion of a healthy lifestyle among the population and the implementation of national interests in the international arena. However, modern legislation does not fully meet the needs of effective control over the activities of these associations, and the current supervision mechanisms are often superficial. They do not take into account the specific features of sports activities and limit the capabilities of federations to make operational decisions, which negatively affects their ability to respond quickly to challenges and develop the sports movement. Particular attention is paid to the experience of France, which has successfully implemented a control model that combines the autonomy of sports federations with effective state supervision. The French system provides for transparent funding procedures, regular reporting, training of highly qualified specialists for supervisory bodies and continuous monitoring of the use of state resources. This approach contributes to the rational use of funds and increases the efficiency of sports federations, which is a valuable reference point for reforming the Ukrainian system. Based on this experience, it is proposed to introduce similar control standards in Ukraine. In particular, this includes the development of criteria for assessing the efficiency of sports federations, improving the skills of state control specialists, creating a systematic monitoring of their activities and updating the legislative framework for more transparent financing. This will allow achieving better interaction between the state and sports associations, which will ensure support for sports at all levels. Thus, reforming the administrative and legal mechanisms for supervising sports federations in Ukraine is an important step towards creating favorable conditions for the effective development of sports. This will also strengthen Ukraine’s position in the international sports arena, contributing to the integration of Ukrainian sports into the global context and laying the foundation for stable and competitive development of the sports industry at the national level.

Determinants of employee turnover intentions from Malaysia’s manufacturing sector in north region of Malaysia

This study addresses the critical issue of employee turnover intention within Malaysia’s manufacturing sector, focusing on the semiconductor industry, a pivotal component of the inclusive economy growth. The research aims to unveil the determinants of employee turnover intentions through a comprehensive analysis encompassing compensation, career development, work-life balance, and leadership style. Utilizing Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory as a theoretical framework, the study hypothesizes that motivators (e.g., career development, recognition) and hygiene factors (e.g., compensation, working conditions) significantly influence employees’ intentions to leave. The quantitative research methodology employs a descriptive correlation design to investigate the relationships between the specified variables and turnover intention. Data was collected from executives and managers in northern Malaysia’s semiconductor industry, revealing that compensation, rewards, and work-life balance are significant predictors of turnover intention. At the same time, career development and transformational leadership style show no substantial impact. The findings suggest that manufacturing firms must reevaluate their compensation strategies, foster a conducive work-life balance, and consider a diverse workforce’s evolving needs and expectations to mitigate turnover rates. This study contributes to academic discourse by filling gaps in current literature and offers practical implications for industry stakeholders aiming to enhance employee retention and organizational competitiveness.
