Abstract:
Academic freedom is probably one of the most misunderstood concepts in academia, but is a fundamental pre-requisite to achieve the purpose of a university in becoming a knowledge and truth-seeking institution in our society. This article specifically examines academic freedom in Malaysian public universities, by first, unpacking the concept of academic freedom as well as the complementary concept of institutional autonomy. Having made clear the definition and concept of academic freedom, the article highlights three major impediments of academic freedom in Malaysian public universities resulting from legislation, lack of institutional autonomy and influence of external agencies. The understanding of these impediments is vital for the future development of public universities to fulfil their purpose as public authorities for knowledge and truth in Malaysia.

Abstract:
Knowledge management is the functions involved in the management of data, information, and knowledge in the form of expertise and experience gained from information created, transferred, or stored in the heads of individuals or documented in written form in organisational standards, procedures, or systems. Knowledge management is a difficult but vital job for educational institutions. In contrast, thorough research in public universities is severely circumscribed. This study evaluated the essence of knowledge management through the lenses of leadership, organisational culture, and information management. This article will analyse how top administrators at Malaysian public institutions manage knowledge and identify the regulatory framework for knowledge management at Malaysia's public universities. In addition, the future of senior administrators in Malaysian public institutions is contingent upon leadership, culture, and technology to control knowledge management. Face-to-face interviews with top management leaders and university senate members from around Malaysia were used to collect qualitative data, which was then analyzed using ATLAS.Ti. Leadership, organizational culture, and information technology were found to play a key role in knowledge management. Thus, the finding underscored the significance of knowledge management for improved quality and efficiency in university practise

Abstract:
Academics employed in either public or private university in Malaysia may be subject to different contract of service and scheme of employment. Due to this variance, academics receive different employment benefits. Such variation can also create differences and imbalance between universities in the context of workloads assigned to academics in both types of universities. Thus, objective of this article is to analyze employment benefits (pecuniary and non-pecuniary) of academics in Malaysian universities and their satisfaction with the employment benefits that they receive. This article employs a mixed method approach i.e. qualitative and quantitative. For quantitative approach, a survey was conducted among academic staffs in Malaysian public and private universities. Qualitative approach by way of interviews were conducted among management of selected universities. The results show that all academic staff in public and private universities in Malaysia received pecuniary and non-pecuniary benefits. For public universities these benefits are mostly standardized. However, pecuniary and non-pecuniary benefits for academics in private universities are different from public universities and between themselves. The job specification which involves teaching, supervision, research, consultation and administrative works as found in the KPIs of all academics are not similar. It is recommended that to strike a balance between benefits (pecuniary and non-pecuniary) and workloads received by academics, the workloads of academics should be designed to have a particular focus on specification of work such as research and supervision, teaching and administration tracks. Therefore, this article suggests that the relevant authorities consider a new remuneration scheme and benefits based on tracks and yearly staff performance achievement for academics in Malaysia.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the extent of fraud prevention disclosure on the Malaysian public universities’ websites. Design/methodology/approach The level of fraud prevention information disclosure was examined using content analysis of all 20 public universities in Malaysia based on the university fraud prevention disclosure index (UFPDi) previously developed by the authors’ research team. Findings The disclosures of eight aspects of fraud prevention policies, responses, initiatives and mechanisms were not satisfactory. Possible reasons could be because of lack of awareness and appreciation on the institutional mechanisms and lack of formal pressure from the relevant authority. Research limitations/implications Data collection for analysis was conducted during a period of one month only due to rapid changes of the information on the websites. Social implications The low level of disclosure using UFPDi will prompt the Malaysian public universities to take proactive actions in promoting transparent and good governance among the university staff hence assisting the government in addressing the fraud problem that is plaguing the nation. Originality/value This paper is an extension to the authors’ previous work on UFPDi. It further explains and highlights the extent of fraud prevention disclosures among academic institutions who are receiving financial resources from the government.

Abstract:
The Islamic world and the significance of careers to Muslim expatriate academics have a correlation with the individual’s living beliefs to contribute to society and the religion itself. As a country that recognises Islam as the official religion, Malaysia has its own uniqueness when it places emphasis by offering study programmes based on the concept of Islam according to Quran and Sunnah. The element of reviving the concept of Islamic learning succeeded in attracting a community of Muslim expatriate academics to come and work in Malaysia. Therefore, this study is designed to identify the motives considered by Muslim expatriate groups when choosing a career destination in Malaysian Public Universities. A qualitative approach that utilises in-depth interviews was conducted on 30 Muslim expatriates working in four selected public universities in the country. By applying thematic analysis, the results of the study found that the three main motives that catalyses the arrival of Muslim expatriate academics to Malaysian Public Universities are 1) The principle of life based on Islam as a religion of faith; 2) The tendency of the family is in the life of the majority of the Muslim community and 3) Career in the context of the privilege of offering the concept of Islamic studies programmes in Malaysian Public Universities. The findings of this study are useful for formulating an internationalisation policy with a religious background as a principle of career development. The direction of this study can be extended to focus on university governance and policy based on Islamic higher education. The interconnectedness of the majority Malaysians who are Muslim justifies the country’s public universities to plan strategically and be competitive in ensuring Islamic studies as one of the components enshrined in the national higher education agenda.

Abstract:
Stress can lead to poor health and loss of productivity among employees across occupations. Stress does not only affect individuals but also organizations by causing work absence and staff turnover. Academics in Malaysian public universities are no exception. Due to the rapid developments in tertiary education, academics in Malaysian public universities are believed to be experiencing increased job demands that potentially lead to increased stress. This study was carried out to examine: i) the direct effect of role stressors (i.e. role overload, role ambiguity and role conflict) on strain; ii) the direct effect of strain on the outcomes of strain (i.e. cynicism, professional efficacy, and organizational commitment); iii) the moderation effects of organizational support, peer support, and self-efficacy on the relationships between role stressors and strain; iv) the mediation effect of strain on the relationship between role stressors and strain; and v) the mediation effect of outcomes of strain (i.e. cynicism, professional efficacy, and organizational commitment) on the relationship between strain and intention to leave among those academics. This study used a non-experimental two-wave panel design. Eleven of the 12 study variables were measured using pre-existing scales except for self-efficacy, iii which was measured by items specially developed for this study. A longitudinal survey with a six-month time interval yielded 357 respondents (academics) at time 1 and 210 respondents at time 2. Data were analyzed using multiple regression, hierarchical regression, and structural equation modeling (SEM) to test for direct effects, moderation effects and mediation effects respectively. The findings of this study indicate that academics who experienced increased levels of role stressors were more likely to have increased levels of strain. Subsequently, the strained academics were more likely to show higher levels of cynicism and lower levels of professional efficacy and organizational commitment. The predicted moderators (i.e organizational support, peer support, and self-efficacy) had no significant influence on the relationships between role stressors and strain. Mediation analyses consisted of two parts. In the first part, I found that strain strongly mediated the relationship between role ambiguity and outcomes of strain (i.e. cynicism, professional efficacy, and organizational commitment). In the subsequent mediation analysis, I found that cynicism and organizational commitment fully mediated the relationship between strain and intention to leave, but not professional efficacy.

Abstract:
Retirement systems are generally classified into two categories, namely, defined benefit (DB) and defined contribution (DC) plans. These plans differ in the method used to determine the benefits, or in the distribution of risk. While reducing the provision of the DB plan and replacing the DB plan with the DC plan are the contemporary trends world-wide, DB and DC plans still constitute the two major types of retirement schemes. Consequently, to choose between the two options is among the decisions faced by individuals and organisations. Alternatively, an individual may also voluntarily set up his or her own supplementary retirement plans through savings. Malaysia, like many other developing countries, continues to face the problem of an ageing population which has become increasingly important to tackle. Consequently, employers, the government and employees need to make tough decisions to formulate the best retirement plan that can satisfy and meet the needs of the Malaysian workforce. Since there has been no study that has focused on the choice between the DB and DC retirement plans and the satisfaction of the workforce with the existing retirement plans in Malaysia, this is a gap that this research attempts to fill. Moreover, individual employees’ retirement decisions and choice patterns have not been extensively investigated despite the fact that their inputs are vital due to the greater responsibility of employees to set up their own retirement plans in the future. This research aims to study the factors predictors) that influence the type of retirement plans chosen by Malaysian public universities’ employees guided by the Bounded-Rationality-Theory. The factors that influence and help predict the choice of retirement plans include demographic-features, knowledge level, voluntary savings perceptions, extension of working years beyond retirement, health status, peer effects, retirement income sources, preferences for certain plan features, mobility, job aspects and risk-benefit considerations. The research output from this study will provide intelligence and advice on retirement behaviour of Malaysian civil servants who are expected to decide on: (1) choice between DB (PENSION) versus DC (Employee Provident Fund/EPF) schemes; and (2) choice between owning versus not-owning any voluntary retirement scheme. Employing the multidimensional positivist paradigm, the researcher has conducted a questionnaire survey involving 348 Malaysian public university employees with a stratified random sampling method to collect primary data. Questionnaire feedback and responses were analysed applying two main binary models of logistic-regression. Eleven semi-structured interviews were analysed using the content analysis technique to complement the questionnaire results. The results were illuminating. First, they revealed an above-average level of satisfaction perceived by employees. Second, a statistically significant difference in satisfaction between the EPF and PENSION schemes has been found with higher satisfaction being recorded within the PENSION group. As for the voluntary scheme choice, the OWN group were significantly more satisfied compared to the NOT-OWN group. Knowledge, demographics, retirement income sources and plan features were variables found to influence the choice of compulsory schemes. The same variables, together with perceptions on voluntary savings, job related aspects, extension of working years beyond retirement, health status as well as preferences on risk and benefits were found to influence the decision to buy a voluntary scheme. There were no major contradictions between the qualitative findings and the quantitative results. The findings will be beneficial not only to the government in improving the national retirement system, but also to the industrial players in targeting potential customers for their retirement products.

Abstract:
Numerous statements and declarations have been made over recent decades in support of open access to research data. The growing recognition of the importance of open access to research data has been accompanied by calls on public research funding agencies and universities to facilitate better access to publicly funded research data so that it can be re-used and redistributed as public goods. International and inter-governmental bodies such as the ICSU/CODATA, the OECD and the European Union are strong supporters of open access to and re-use of publicly funded research data. This thesis focuses on the research data created by university researchers in Malaysian public universities whose research activities are funded by the Federal Government of Malaysia. Malaysia, like many countries, has not yet formulated a policy on open access to and re-use of publicly funded research data. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to develop a policy to support the objective of enabling open access to and re-use of publicly funded research data in Malaysian public universities. Policy development is very important if the objective of enabling open access to and re-use of publicly funded research data is to be successfully achieved. In developing the policy, this thesis identifies a myriad of legal impediments arising from intellectual property rights, confidentiality, privacy and national security laws, novelty requirements in patent law and lack of a legal duty to ensure data quality. Legal impediments such as these have the effect of restricting, obstructing, hindering or slowing down the objective of enabling open access to and re-use of publicly funded research data. A key focus in the formulation of the policy was the need to resolve the various legal impediments that have been identified. This thesis analyses the existing policies and guidelines of Malaysian public universities to ascertain to what extent the legal impediments have been resolved. An international perspective is adopted by making a comparative analysis of the policies of public research funding agencies and universities in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia to understand how they have dealt with the identified legal impediments. These countries have led the way in introducing policies which support open access to and re-use of publicly funded research data. As well as proposing a policy supporting open access to and re-use of publicly funded research data in Malaysian public universities, this thesis provides procedures for the implementation of the policy and guidelines for addressing the legal impediments to open access and re-use.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to determine how strategic planning is implemented in Malaysian Islamic public universities and how it can further improve the management and administration of those institutions. The study was done on a comparative method between two largest Malaysian public universities, namely, the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) and the National University of Malaysia (UKM). The researcher considered in particular the similarities and differences between the two universities’ strategic planning and the potential benefits and limitations of the same. The researcher employed a survey instrument consisting of a triangulation of interviews, document analysis and direct observation. Analysis of the survey responses indicated the following findings: (a) Both universities share similarities in certain elements of their strategic planning, and differ in certain other elements of their strategic planning; and, (b) Respondents agreed that strategic planning has a considerable number of potential benefits as well as limitations.

Che, Mat Che Rosmawati Binti. "The effect of innovation and dynamics capabilities on the relationship between Malaysian SMEs' business network and firm performance." Thesis, Brunel University, 2017. http://bura.brunel.ac.uk/handle/2438/15964.

Full text
Abstract:
The business network that is linked to flexibility, aggressiveness and strategy has become increasingly important in recent years. Several studies suggest that such networks potentially have a profound impact on firm performance, including Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). The role of SMEs in enhancing global and local economic growth is undeniable, particularly in the context of developing countries such as Malaysia. Although numerous researches have been conducted in this field, the majority of them limit their focus to the relationship between firm capabilities (i.e. innovation and dynamic capabilities) and firm performance in specific industries. Research on the synergy impact of business networks, innovation and dynamic capabilities on SME performance remains scarce. This has become a significant gap, which this research seeks to address. This research investigates the roles of dynamic capabilities and innovation capabilities as a moderator and mediator in the relationship between business networks and firm performance, based on the model developed from the concepts of the Resource Base View (RBV) and Dynamic Capability (DC) theories. The model was justified through the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) technique using AMOS version 23. Taking Malaysia as a research context, the model was tested against a total of 463 SMEs across different industries and categories (i.e. micro, small, and medium SMEs) through face-to-face surveys with 130 owners, 41 CEOs, 79 managers and 213 executives. This study presents five important findings: (1) there exists no direct relationship between business network and firm performance; (2) there exists a direct relationship between innovation, dynamic capabilities and firm performance; (3) the existence of the relationship between business network and firm performance is conditioned by innovation capabilities; (4) dynamic capabilities do not moderate the relationship between business network and firm performance; however (5) dynamic capabilities moderate the relationship between business networks and innovation capabilities. To conclude, the synergy of business networks, innovation capabilities and dynamic capabilities will significantly affect SME performance. This implies that SME performance will not be affected by the business network, as a single variable. The research offers three key contributions. Firstly, it enhances our understanding of the important synergies between business networks, innovation capabilities and dynamic capabilities in elevating SME firm performance. Second, the findings provide a new perspective on how the application of RBV and DC theories can be used as a conceptual lens to analyse the factors affecting SME performance. Lastly, the result signposts practical approaches for SME decision-makers by providing assistance to boost firm performance.

Full text
Abstract:
The research was triggered by widespread criticisms from its constituencies about the relevance of MBAs, allegedly instigated by its dual academic and utilitarian purposes in developing functionally and ethically competent managers. Using Malaysia as the research focus, the perceptions of three MBA stakeholders (i.e. business schools/management educators, industries and students) were explored on the adequacy of MBA provisions by its public universities in preparing professionally and ethically competent managers. Their opinions were gauged on several subjective terms, each carrying the dual academic-utilitarian connotations, i.e. the roles of MBAs, the roles of its providers, the definitions of relevance, the definitions of managers and the necessary competencies, and their concerns over the social responsibility of managers and their education. The research employed mainly qualitative approaches. Primary data was gathered through semi-structured interviews, a focus group discussion and e-mails from the three stakeholders. The management educators and students were derived from three selected business schools. The secondary data involved analysis of the MBA websites and prospectuses provided by all the 10 public universities in Malaysia. In total, the research derived data consisting of 28 interviews, 1 focus group, 81 surveys, 3 email questionnaires, and 10 document analyses. The findings suggested that the perceptions of all three stakeholders reflected an imbalanced MBA that was biased towards utilitarian objectives as opposed to social objectives. The findings showed that religion / spirituality and the development of ME in Malaysia had a considerable impact in influencing the perspectives of the respondents. The research contributes to the discipline by demonstrating how a non-western, religious, developing country viewed the research issues dominated by Western literature.

Wan, Husain W. R. "Comparative evaluation of public universities in Malaysia using data envelopment analysis." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2012. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/55309/.

Full text
Abstract:
Applications of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) for the assessment of performance of universities have been widely reported in the literature. Often the number of universities under the assessment is relatively small compared to the number of performance measures (inputs and outputs) used in the analysis, which leads to a low discriminating power of DEA models on efficiency scores. The main objective of this thesis is the development of improved DEA models that overcome the above difficulty, using a sample of public universities in Malaysia as an illustrative application. The proposed new approach combines the recently introduced Hybrid returns to scale (HRS) model with the use of additional information about the functioning of universities stated in the form of production trade-offs. The new model developed in this thesis, called Hybrid returns to scale model with trade-offs (HRSTO), is applied to a sample of eighteen universities, which is considered to be a very small sample for the DEA methodology. Our results show that, in contrast with standard DEA models, the new model is perfectly suitable for such samples and discriminates well between good and bad performers. The proposed combined use of HRS model with production trade-offs is a novel methodology that can be used in other applications of DEA. Overall, the thesis makes several contributions of the theory and practice of DEA. First, for the first time, it is shown that the higher education sector satisfies the assumptions and can be modelled using the proposed HRSTO model. Second, also for the first time, it is shown that production trade-offs can be assessed for such applications and the methodology of their assessment has been developed and used in the thesis. Third, it is demonstrated that the HRSTO model significantly improves the discriminating power of analysis compared to standard DEA models, which is particularly important for small data sets. Fourth, it is concluded that the HRS model is further improved if production trade-offs are used. Fifth, by experimenting with different specific values of production trade-offs, it is shown that even the most conservative estimates of trade-offs notably improve the model. Finally, our results contribute to the more general discussion of the performance of universities in Malaysia and identification of the best performers among them.

Abstract:
Until now, the bulk of the studies conducted on the relationships between efficiency wages, public service motivation (PSM), and effort focused exclusively on developed and advanced countries. Very little has been written about these relationships on developing countries. Finding additional knowledge on the experiences of the developing countries would not only be helpful in improving the efficiency of public employees in developing countries, but would also help to enrich and expand this field of knowledge. Perhaps of more importance is that this study were provides some rare glimpses into the dynamics of the relationship between public sector employers and employees in achieving their prescribed outcomes from a developing world perspective. Malaysia is taken as a case study to explore and highlight some common problems shared by many developing countries in improving the efficiency of their public employees. As far as the author could judge (after an extensive review of the literature), this is the first attempt to analyse the relationships between efficiency wages, PSM, and effort on Malaysia. The relationships between efficiency wage, PSM, and effort were analysed and tested on the Malaysian public sector using Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) as a case study. This study found employees’ effort levels in USM during the survey period were driven more so by PSM rather than by efficiency wages. This study also highlighted a few policy recommendations based on findings of this study.

Abstract:
Malaysia is a transition economic country that aims to be a developed country by 2020. In realising this mission (Vision 2020), the cluster concept has been an interest and adopted by the central authorities. There are few years ahead to reach the targeted year and it interest of this study to investigate the relevant development on its own engineered cluster of the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) that was put forward on the success of Silicon Valley in the US. This thesis focuses on the development of the MSC cluster in the Malaysia context. It examines and measures the state of the cluster, the role played by its core actors (from Triple Helix perspective) and their relationship in the MSC. The role of collaboration has been used to measure the relationship among actors with the key determinants of cluster formation. A mixed data collection method was used to answer the research question and objectives involved. A conceptual model for analysing the MSC cluster is proposed, bringing together insights from the literature on clusters, role of actors, collaborative relationship and the complex systems of innovation approach. This conceptual model uncover the weaknesses of social dimension (social infrastructure) in Porter’s diamond model and the general approach of Triple Helix model in the cluster development. The cluster lifecycle model is used to add the depth to the analysis on the condition of cluster development.

The prediction is that the 14th General Election (14thGE) is coming earlier than when it should be, as early as March 2017, instead of May 2018. On the one hand, with the DAP-led opposition in disarray for the last 18 months, since the departure of PAS, and on the other, the UMNO-led BN becoming more resolved and combative, the events leading to the forthcoming election promises more fireworks. The complexity of facts, fictions, perceptions and perspectives in making sense of the forthcoming 14thGE are intricate. The present book, Democracy at Work, edited by Prof. Azizuddin and Dr. Ummu Atiyah of Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), provides an essential critical backdrop to build an informed understanding of what to expect from the 14thGE based on the 13 chapters of the book on the highly confusing but sometimes entertaining 13thGE. An added bonus is that the chapters are written not by the usual crop of opinionated tired scholars but largely a fresh crop of serious and bright ones. The book is a must read for Malaysianists who enjoy talking, studying and making opinions on the ever complicated Malaysian politics, beyond the ambit of the mamak shops. Shamsul A.B., Distinguished Professor and Founding Director, Institute of Ethnic Studies, (KITA) Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia A very essential book for those concerned with whether or not democracy is at work in Malaysia. It is indeed working.This major work explores some interesting issues dominated the public sphere during the GE13. Therefore, this book should be read by anyone interested about Malaysian politics and democracy. Sivamurugan Pandian Professor at the School of Social Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia

Abstract:
Every ranking system rates Indian universities poorly against their Asian counterparts in China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea, and in some cases, even universities in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. The question then is why, given that in 1947 it could fairly be said that at least a dozen Indian universities were leaders in Asia and were of international repute, Indian universities are in an egregious condition. This chapter essays some answers. It also argues for curricular reform, in particular for the introduction of public policy studies at the major Indian universities.

Abstract:
Based on case studies of top senior leaders (vice-chancellors) of Malaysian public universities, this chapter explores the characteristics of challenging experiences they encountered that require them to embrace entrepreneurship in their leadership. The complexity of diverse stakeholders, the multiplicity of academic disciplines, the lack of familiarity leading different and broader roles, leading in new directions, and creating change in high velocity and uncertain environments are among the entrepreneurial situations that characterize institutional adversities. Learning agility, opportunity recognition, and bridging capability are among their exemplary entrepreneurial leadership competencies in the face of adversity. This chapter concludes that entrepreneurial leaders in public universities as those leaders capable of bridging the gap between diverse stakeholders to achieve a unified vision of innovative public value creation and dynamic education marketplace adaptation.

Abstract:
Japanese animation or anime is one of the most popular and well-received types of Japanese popular cultures, translated into various languages, rendering these globally renowned. A plethora of studies has shown that interest in anime has led students to start learning the Japanese language. However, to date, studies examining the influence of anime consumption on Japanese language students, particularly in Malaysian contexts, are scarce. The present study aims to identify the effect of anime consumption on Malaysian undergraduates who enrolled in beginner Japanese language courses at three public universities in Malaysia. A total of 150 undergraduate students who are interested in anime participated in this study. The data was collected using an online survey and was coded and categorized by themes. The data revealed that most students are influenced by the characters, settings, and storylines of anime. The main positive effects are; broadening their knowledge on Japan and its culture, deepening their interest on Japanese language, strengthening relationships with family members and friends, releasing stress, instilling positive moral values and enhancing imagination and creativity. However, poor time management, negative moral values, negative emotion, antisocial behavior, escapism and buying characters’ goods are mentioned as the main adverse effects. The results of this study gave insightful perspectives to those working in Japanese language and cultural pedagogies.
