Despite an increase in study interest in the topic of employee resilience, little is known about how essential social support at work, such as supportive leadership and co-worker support, impacts workers' capacity to survive in difficult circumstances. Therefore, this paper aims to understand the role of support systems in enhancing educators’ resilience in private sectors. It focuses on the types of support systems that the educators received that make them stay working in private college. The study was conducted among educators in three different private colleges in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. In – depth interview was used to collect the data for this study. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. The findings revealed that educators stay in an organization even though faced many challenges due to the following factors: supportive leader, co-worker support and family members encouragement. The findings of this study can be applied into organization retention practices, especially during this pandemic.","PeriodicalId":304648,"journal":{"name":"Journal of BIMP-EAGA Regional Development","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125720976","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}

Some insights were excavated from articles in various journal related to variables of study particularly among academia which become the context of this study. Full-Range Leadership theory drove the study to further entice the relationship of the variables. In the end, the study manages to gauge explanation why academic leaders’ performance is differently affected by transformational leadership style as compared to transactional leadership style.

The impact of the pandemic has been greater for self-employed persons than for employed workers, as self-employed persons usually experience substantial obstacles in keeping their businesses alive. Studies on self-employment are thus very important for the nation since they are related to attempts to lessen the detrimental impact of covid-19 on self-employment. Entrepreneurs have overcome numerous challenges within the self–employment. This article investigates the Covid-19 impact on self-employment and small business income and sales. The paper also identify the salient beliefs that policymakers could target to reduce the problem faced by self-employed and small businesses. An online survey was conducted to see on how the self-employed are faring in the crisis covering their work patterns, earnings, concerns and expectations for the future. 185 respondents were collected. This paper suggest that policymakers can start thinking about self-employment policies for a post-COVID-19 economy now, because there is a need for more targeted measures to help disadvantaged self-employed persons stay in business.","PeriodicalId":304648,"journal":{"name":"Journal of BIMP-EAGA Regional Development","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125171226","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}

Small enterprises tend to progress relatively slower than larger enterprises during a crisis, and in fact may fail to sustain the business within three years after a crisis strike. The pandemic crisis in Malaysia has disrupted several important sectors especially agricultural due to the disruption of transportation and retails services. Small farmers experience dumping of farm produces due to the restricted delivery channels and loss of regular market. Small farmers are believed to demonstrate a viable strategy for the sustainability of their businesses during a crisis, through the use of an alternative distribution approach to deliver their perishable goods to consumers. Through structured interviews with two small farmers in Ranau, Sabah, this paper presents their perspectives on the alternative distribution strategy they had undertaken during a crisis. The results of the study provide insights into how the hub distribution approach might assist small farmers in managing the impact of the crisis on their business and can therefore be used as an effective distribution approach in the future.","PeriodicalId":304648,"journal":{"name":"Journal of BIMP-EAGA Regional Development","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116740939","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}

Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used as a theoretical model for this study since it is widely used in the study of technology acceptance. The data was collected using questionnaires that had been distributed to students who were involved in a teaching and learning session for December 2020 at Kolej Komuniti Bagan Datuk. The finding of this study stated that there is positive medium correlation between these independent variables (perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use) and the acceptance of Google Meet platform. This means, when students perceive Google Meet is useful and easy to use, they will accept it.
