Thus, this study determined the influential role of emotional quotient (EQ) and spiritual quotient (SQ) on the lecturers’ excellence service quality (ESQ), which eventually led to effective classroom teaching. The data of 127 respondents were analyzed using the structural equation model with partial least square. The results confirmed that both types of quotients positively influence the lecturers’ teaching progression at the university. EQ and SQ have the encouraging power to motivate the academicians for the best service to the university through a quality learning experience. It can be concise that institutions that practice EQ and SQ values can perform better and blend a harmonious working spirit and tandem with the university’s growth. Support for sustainable development goal (SDG-4) via EQ and SQ is ...

It recorded that there is a significant drop in rank, from rank 35th in 2018. Meanwhile, the Malaysian psychological well-being index in 2020 recorded a moderate score of 7.2. Studies related to happiness based on the Islamic perspective are still limited and minimal. However, aspects of psychological stress, personal well-being and the practice of Islamic values are important elements in determining the functionality of a Muslim. Thus, this study aims to look at the concept of happiness from the Islamic point of view and the methods or strategies based on Islam to increase happiness in facing the current challenges and stress in life. This is a library research where content analysis method was applied. The PERMA model by Martin Seligman has been intertwined with the views of Al-Ghazali Theory, hadith and the Qur'an in unraveling these existing problems. The find...

This community is one of the 18 tribes of indigenous peoples and belongs to Senoi subgroup. These people are experiencing shrinking number of members of its community. Up to 2014, the number of members of the society CW estimated only about 650 people (JAKOA). This will affect the process of their cultural inheritance to the next generation which leads to obsolescence, dying and cultural extinction. For CW community who lived in Kuala Gandah, Temerloh, there are skills that are inherited from previous generations which still practiced until now can be categorized as local wisdom (local wisdom). This term refers to the explicit knowledge that already exists for a long time ago and it evolved with society as well as their identification.

However, a few only consistently measure their innovation capabilities to ensure sustainability in competitiveness. Through a single case study, an innovation fitness assessment was used to evaluate the innovation capabilities, and interviews has been conducted to determine how they further manage their innovation. The themes that emerged were quality assurance, culture and climate, structures and systems, organizational intelligence, harnessing the competence base, and research and development. In general, all scores of the innovation assessment are over average, except for processes. Areas of improvement should be more focused on the innovation process. It is recommended for companies that are engaged in the innovation management process, and the importance of conducting their innovation fitness. Focusing on these 6 dimensions of innovation capability will in...

A product with Universal Design approach should provide wide range of solution for people with different purposes including those with diverse disabilities. However, designers often based on a subjective understanding of Universal Design Principles (UDP) to formulate design solutions. This result in the inaccurate conversion of design needs. A systematic approach is needed in order to develop a concept to meet the customer need. Previous studies shown potential integration of the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) proposed to create a systematic approach for problem-solving requires creativity abilities. The purpose of this study is to explore the construction of the integration model of UDP and TRIZ 40 inventive principles. To construct the integration model of UDP and TRIZ 40 inventive principles, this study will use focus group discussion of certified TRIZ experts in the exploration of establishing an integration model of...

However, the main focus in creativity and innovation development process is on cognitive, affective, imagination and practises (psychomotor) that allow total freedom for individual to present their product. In fact, unfortunately this will make them losing their own direction. Therefore, this article tries to integrate between the development of creativity and innovation with spiritual element, which the vital component and the main guidance for decision making in any innovation process. Indeed, this spiritual element is closely related with one of the basic concepts in Theory of Inventive Problem Solving, (TRIZ) which is ideality. TRIZ has been introduced in Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) since 2017 where this theory proposed four basic concepts in inventive problem solving. The concept of ideality opens up an opportunity for researcher to integrate and prov...

Indeed, knowledge and technology are seen as a major source of long-term economic growth and technology transfer to the firm is critical and significant for firm performance. The purpose of this paper is to improve understanding on the importance of UIC concept and how it can create value to the firm especially in improving firm performance. The UIC will consider knowledge transfer and technology transfer activities from university to firm. This paper also seeks to engage how Stakeholder Theory can answer the question; what is the relationship between UIC concept and value creation, and what responsibility does firm have to university. This paper presents literature analysis concerning this research topic and explores mean of UIC, knowledge transfer, technology transfer, firm performance and stakeholder theory. There is evidence to support that knowledge transfer and technology transfer activities have an impact on firm performance. Theoretically, Stakeholder Theory can explain the relationship between UIC and value creation concept, and the responsibilities a firm has to a university. This finding may pave the way for firms to collaborate with university in order to achieve high performance.

Questionnaires were developed and distributed to staff at the selected Government Hospitals which involved 506 female respondents in the age of 20-45 years old. The data collected was analysed using confirmatory factor analytic (CFA) approach and fullfledged structural equation modeling (SEM) in order to test the hypothesized model of the impact of Spiritual Intelligence on Work Performance. In addition, invariance analysis was also conducted on the demographic moderator such as age and tenure. The revised hypothesized SEM model yielded a p-value = 0.000, normed chi-square=3.999, CFI=0.972, TLI=0.963, GFI=0.939 and RMSEA=0.077. From the result, it can be found that work performance is influenced by Spiritual Intelligence. Also, the moderating factor of age and tenure is not significant that the model is applicable to all hospitals involved. This finding may pave the way forward for empowering spiritual intelligence in nursing school and training to enhance nurse's work performance.

Kedua-dua unsur ini dapat dikesan wujud dalam sebuah sistem dan saling berkaitan antara satu dengan yang lain. Percanggahan atau kontradiksi yang wujud antara kedua unsur tersebut menyebabkan berlaku pula dua keadaan yang bertentangan. Satu pihak akan mendapat kebaikan atau kelebihan dan satu pihak lagi akan mendapat keburukan atau kekurangan. Jika keadaan ini tidak diselesaikan, maka potensi sebenar unsur-unsur tersebut tidak dapat dimanfaatkan oleh manusia. Bagi menyelesaikan masalah tersebut, TRIZ telah diperkenalkan sebagai salah satu kaedah yang sangat efektif dalam pemecahan dan penyelsaian masalah. Melalui pendekatan TRIZ ini, terdapat 40 prinsip yang boleh digunapakai sebagai rujukan dan uji-cuba dalam pemecahan dan penyelesaian masalah. Strategi ini boleh diaplikasikan dalam semua bidang kehidupan, pekerjaan, pembelajaran dan dapat memperluas peluang dan pemanfaatan sumber. Kertas ini membincang...
