Additionally, the traits of a successful PMS and the challenges faced when implementing the system. The article came to the conclusion that the performance system has a significant moral impact on how well workers perform in firms. These studies provided conclusive evidence that, in addition to the PMS, working conditions, compensation, and promotion are organizational elements that influence employees' performance. Performance monitoring is carried out with performance assessment by management since, according to the research; performance planning has a limited impact on workers' performance while performance appraisal has been the most precise of employee performance.","PeriodicalId":277639,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Journal of Business and Management Studies","volume":"161 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127416881","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}

Entrepreneurship program/education was introduced to various higher educational institutions across all programs and disciplines to encourage and equipped the students to engage in a business that can also address increasing unemployment through job creation. However, most of the students preferred to be wage employees. A focus group was created and identified student priorities which are categorized according to Opportunities, Motivation, and Incentives. 243 out of 658 Advanced Diploma and Bachelor students of UTAS-Shinas were selected through a combination of purposive sampling and simple random sampling. A survey questionnaire was used to gather data on student priorities or factors using a 5-point Likert scale and the data were analyzed using sample mean and two-tailed independent sample t-test. Results showed 62.14% of the respondents preferred to be wage employees. Respondents also agree that opportunities and incentives contribute to entrepreneurship success however, respondents do somewhat agree that motivations could contribute to entrepreneurship success with a mean of 2.69. Results suggest that there is a statistically significant difference in the response based on academic level, after graduation preference, and existing (family-owned) business with a p-value of p=0.013, p=0.002, and p=0.005 respectively except gender p = 0.064. The result signifies that while students’ priority leads to entrepreneurship program success, respondents greatly rely on the sustainability and the intensity of future monetary benefits and economic incentives. Though the academic and government/private finance and technical support elements of the model may be assumed to work perfectly, the success of the entrepreneurship program warrants collaborative effort to initiate a paradigm shift on students’ priorities/factors.","PeriodicalId":277639,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Journal of Business and Management Studies","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124941082","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}

A nation like Saudi Arabia cannot afford to revert to the old ways of educating its citizens given the rapid technological advancements occurring around the world. Even more so now since Saudi Arabia is the country with the biggest number of young people in the entire globe. But if one is not properly trained to meet the challenges of the world and make a significant contribution to sustainable development, physical strength is pointless. By implementing new and engaging teaching and learning strategies for pupils, education today needs to undergo a transition. Without proactive measures, it would be challenging to keep up with the rate and direction of world development. The purpose of this essay is to investigate how, in this age of innovation and technology, institutions, classrooms, mentors, and teachers may work together to spark a revolution. It's not necessary to use the most advanced technology in the classroom in order to employ innovative teaching techniques. Instead, innovative teaching involves proactively implementing new pedagogical approaches and techniques in the classroom. These innovative teaching techniques are being used to raise academic standards, address pressing issues, and advance equitable learning. This youthful generation needs to be kept on the correct path and properly developed, and teachers and educational institutions have a big part to play in that.","PeriodicalId":277639,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Journal of Business and Management Studies","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121184391","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}
