The construction industry has an important role in the economy of the country. This paper aims to investigate the relationships between MCS and CS in the construction industry. The study focused on the central and southern region of Peninsular Malaysia which comprises 726 companies listed in Real Estate Housing Development Association (REHDA) and 77 companies listed on Bursa Malaysia. Management Control System (MCS) is defined as the process by which managers assure that resources are obtained and used effectively and efficiently in the accomplishment of the organisation’s objectives and organisation success. In this study, simple random sampling was used in the data collection. The sample size was determined by using G-power s...

Previous researches work from various reputable journals were collected on Organizational Efficacy and Corporate Sustainability available at different online databases. The unit of analysis was a full paper published in one of the relevant journals. The reviews revealed that most of the research in the field of organizational efficacy and corporate sustainability relationship were been done in developed countries. The result or findings differs in various economic context, sectors and industries. There were no universally or commonly accepted direction of this relationship. The reviews also revealed a growing pattern in investigating this relationship in developing countries in recent years. It further suggested that further empirical research to study on the relationship between corporate sustainability and organizational efficacy be conducted in developing countries. The findings of these papers can be generalized only to the specific population of online databases selected for this research and not for the entire universe of the sustainability literature. There may be various unexploited areas for future research using different variables.

Management control system has obtained growing attention within both academia and industry as part of OE. As works of literature grow, finding new directions by critically evaluating the research and identifying future trends has become central in advancing knowledge for the field. This paper will review some of the work done in this area of study. Applying management control system as a theoretical lens, we develop a research plan from current OE and management control system literature by offering propositions for future research where management control system may permeate contemporary OE topics. In doing so, we provide an initial foundation for organisational efficacy scholars to both incorporate the role of management control system effects into research and launch new re...

Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study. The study instrument was developed by extensive literature search and was subjected to face validity and content validity to medical and pharmacy academics. A pilot study was conducted to ascertain the reliability coefficient. Data was entered to SPSS version 17 and descriptive and inferential statistics were applied. Results: A total of 123 questionnaires were included in the study. Out of 123 respondents, 58.5% (n = 72) were final-year medical students, while 41.5% (n = 51) were final-year pharmacy students. The majority of the respondents showed adequate knowledge regarding the course contents related to antibiotics (n = 116; 94.3%). Almost all the respondents correctly reported the difference between...

Ratings of student satisfaction are getting clearer. Higher learning institution are dealing with young adults. This gives some changes toward the higher learning environment and this is important to ensure the survivability of the college. Due to the changes in higher learning industry satisfaction factors' that used to satisfy students are no longer the same especially in this post pandemic of covid-19. In order for this college to sustain and maintain successful, the college really need to look into the new factors. To address this issue, the present study seeks to explore the relationship between students’ satisfaction and service quality of higher education institution services.

However, there is limited evidence on the relationships between organisational efficacy and corporate sustainability. A central question for researchers and practitioners are whether organisational efficacy can build corporate sustainability in construction industry. To address this question, the present study seeks to empirically explore the relationship between organisational efficacy and corporate sustainability. By drawing upon recent thinking in the strategy and sustainability management literature, this paper argues on the impact of organisational efficacy on corporate sustainability. Using survey data from 62 housing development organizations, respondents included executives in charge of sustainability management, such as owners or sustainability development managers. Questionnaires (and an accompanying letter with survey details and contact information on the researchers) were sent through email by linking an online survey to the targeted respondents, and by applying structural equation modelling (SEM). Outcomes suggest that organisational efficacy enhances corporate sustainability. Respondents responded to 64 items that were adapted and adopted from previous researchers listed in the questionnaire. The study proposes that a corporate sustainability framework, which were developed and tested, are valid and reliable. The findings show that organisational efficacy and corporate sustainability are positively significant and all variables are reflective constructs. The corporate sustainability framework may be used by organisations to assess and monitor the practices. A principal contribution of this study is empirically developed and has tested the corporate sustainability framework based on the elements of triple bottom line approach. As it stands, the investigation provides a foundation for further research, offering opportunities for updates, amendments and refinements.
