Thus, by conducting a path analysis on quantitative survey data of randomly sampled 439 respondents, this study examines the influence of materialistic behavior and the Big-Five personality traits on the compulsive online-buying behavior of university students from low-income families (the B40 income group). Among the five personality traits, an increase in neuroticism scores, openness to experiences, and conscientiousness was observed to raise the level of materialism significantly. Similarly, materialism, neuroticism, and extraversion exhibited a direct positive influence on the compulsive online-buying behavior of the students. These findings reiterate that individuals with higher neuroticism tend to display less self-regulation or emotion control. In contrast, more extroverted individuals tend to be engrossed with the interactive on-screen platform, which cultivates their obsession with online shopping. Importantly, the mediation test showed that materialistic behavior significantly mediates the effects of neuroticism, openness to experience, and conscientiousness on compulsive buying. Overall, our findings projected neuroticism as dominating due to its direct and indirect influence on compulsive online-buying behavior in the path model.","PeriodicalId":125431,"journal":{"name":"Pertanika Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125870570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, limited research has documented how vocational self-efficacy can significantly impact the relationship between perceived social support and students’ interest in Pakistani TVET programmes. Thus, this study utilised quantitative research to examine the role of vocational self-efficacy as a moderator in the relationship between perceived social support and students’ interest in TVET programmes. A total of 386 secondary school students filled out three questionnaires: vocational self-efficacy, perceived social support, and interest in the TVET programmes scale using Social Cognitive Career theory as a theoretical framework. The data were analysed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) and statistical analysis using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The correlation analysis revealed that perceived social support and students’ interest in the TVET programmes were negatively correlated, and vocational self-efficacy was not a moderator. This study benefits the authorities, policymakers, and researchers in supporting TVET programmes in Pakistan.","PeriodicalId":125431,"journal":{"name":"Pertanika Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125846389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Children are expected to be the primary source of support for the elderly and provide them with physical, social, and financial support to show that they are indebted to their parents. This concept is called “kenang budi.” The concept is prevalent in the Malay Muslim culture in Malaysia. This study examines the types of support given by the children in the practice of the “kenang budi” concept by analyzing the data gathered from 327 elderly in Pahang, Malaysia, using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. The results demonstrate that the concept is practiced by several acts of service, such as providing health support and care, aiding them financially, preparing daily necessities, maintaining good contact, and taking them to places such as mosques and festival shows. Since children’s support is pertinent for the well-being of the elderly, the concept of “kenang budi” is appropriate in ensuring the children’s continuous support and providing a chance for the children to care for and be responsible for the elderly. This article highlights the element of “kenang budi” (literally, in English, grateful) in the Malay community, especially in the context of doing a good or responsible attitude towards elderly parents, similar to the concept of filial piety practiced in Chinese society in Southeast Asia.","PeriodicalId":125431,"journal":{"name":"Pertanika Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126962436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So, it is also when merchants attempt to expand their product distribution and boost sales to increase profit margins. Unfortunately, merchants may also resort to disingenuous and fraudulent methods, such as announcing a fake or unreal discount sale. Since consumers require adequate legal protection from such harmful practices, Emirati and French legislators have criminalised fake and unreal discounts. This paper compares penal protection from fake or unreal discounts in Emirati and French legislation to balance the interests of merchants and consumers. This study adopts a qualitative methodology through a comparative and analytical approach and concludes that Emirati and French legislation adopts different criteria to achieve the desired goal of discounts. It was recommended that the Emirati legislator reconsider penalties for natural and legal persons committing commercial fraud by specifying up to three years imprisonment and a fine proportional to the value of the profits obtained from the crime of offering fake or unreal discounts. Furthermore, legislation should address the crime of announcing such discounts.","PeriodicalId":125431,"journal":{"name":"Pertanika Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134373255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Golongan raja tidak lagi menjadi idea dalam penulisan setelah kehadiran kuasa Barat yang membawa corak kepengarangan yang pelbagai bentuk dan genre. Syair tidak lagi menjadi pilihan sebagai wadah penulisan. Corak kepengarangan sedemikian mula menjadi lemah apabila sastera moden berkembang. Sedangkan, pada abad ke-16 hingga ke penghujung abad ke-19, syair ialah satu daripada wadah pengkaryaan penulis-penulis istana. Corak kepengarangan pada era ini ialah pujian dan penceritaan mengenai sultan pada zamannya. Walau bagaimanapun, pada era kontemporari ini muncul dua karya sedemikian iaitu Syair Sultan Azlan Shah Berjiwa Rakyat (2009) karya Mohd Ibrahim Said dan Syair Duli Yang Maha Mulia Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar (2018) oleh Maskiah Masrom. Kedua-dua teks syair diraja ini dijadikan sampel kajian. Hasil penekunan menemukan kedua-dua penulis menjadikan raja sebagai objek penulisan.

The current research recruited 312 Chinese university students as participants. It used the Structure Equation Model (SEM) to assess the relative effectiveness of the four aspects of L2 lexical knowledge and the predictive power of the overall L2 lexical knowledge in L2 speaking. It also ascertained the moderation effect of L2 vocabulary fluency by using Ping’s Single Product Indication Method. Results showed that of the four aspects of L2 vocabulary knowledge, productive vocabulary depth contributed the most to speaking skills. The productive vocabulary breadth ranked second, with receptive vocabulary breadth and depth showing less contribution to speaking proficiency. Regression analyses indicated that overall L2 lexical knowledge explained 47% of the variance in speaking.

However, the biggest challenge to the success of MOOCs is their low completion rate. During the lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic, MOOCs were in high demand by many higher education institutions to replace their face-to-face lessons. MOOCs have great potential to grow and reinvent the way of learning in the 21st century. This study uses the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) effectiveness model to understand how the five key factors (learner, instructor, course, technology system, and interactivity) influence student learning satisfaction from a holistic approach and determine the best predictor of student learning satisfaction in the MOOC learning environment. A set of online data based on a 5-point Likert scale was collected from 333 undergraduate students from the top five public universities in Malaysia whose students are actively using MOOCs in their learning. The Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) technique was used to analyse the data. The empirical results revealed that all factors significantly influence student learning satisfaction positively. Learner and interactivity factors were the strongest predictors in determining student learning satisfaction in MOOCs. These findings provide an empirically justified framework for developing successful online courses such as MOOCs in higher education.","PeriodicalId":125431,"journal":{"name":"Pertanika Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities","volume":"478 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116092713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
