Sample for the study comprises of one hundred and forty five academicians from public universities in Malaysia. Hypotheses were tested using Structural Equation Modeling. The findings show that psychological contract fulfilment was not directly related to knowledge sharing, but indirectly related through trust, reciprocity, and collaborative climate.

Based on a sample of 300 non-financial firms listed on Bursa Malaysia for 2013, this study found that RPTs in general, have a positive effect on firm performance and this effect varies according to the parties involved in RPTs. Specifically, this study found that firm performance is higher for RPTs involving subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures. The findings support the efficient transactions hypothesis that RPTs can create value to the firm. INEDs’ presence and INEDs’ functional and firm-specific knowledge are found not to have any moderating effects on the RPTs-firm performance relationship. Therefore, the agency, resource dependence and human capital theories that stress on the importance of INEDs as corporate monitor and advisor are not supported. This study, perhaps the first, explains the interaction effects of INEDs’ functional and firm-specific knowledge on RPTs-firm performance relationship.

Penemuan kajian ini menyokong hipotesis urusniaga efisyen bahawa UPB dapat mencipta nilai kepada firma. Kehadiran PB serta pengetahuan fungsian dan khusus berkaitan firma yang dimiliki oleh PB didapati tidak memberi kesan pemoderat ke atas hubungan UPB-prestasi firma. Oleh yang demikian, teori agensi, pergantungan sumber dan modal insan yang menekankan kepentingan PB sebagai pemantau korporat dan penasihat tidak disokong.

Furthermore, the paper intended to explore the influence of sustainable logistics practices on logistics transport performance. The variables are linked with triple bottom line (TBL) model and variables are clustered based on environmental, economic and social dimension. Further, the variables of sustainable logistics practices were tested on logistics transport performance. In total, five hypotheses are postulated. The model testing was executed by applying PLS-SEM application. The data collection was based on transport users, which cover manufacturers, third party logistics service provider and freight forwarders. The model testing utilized 194 transport users in Malaysia to prove the formulated hypotheses on sustainable logistics practices on logistics transport performance. The results of the analysis show logistics service execution, pricing practice, labor practices have a significant positive relationship with logistics transport performance. The finding of the research shows sustainable logistics practices have a strong effect on logistics transport performance of transporters. A proper adoption of sustainable logistics practices among transport service provider will help them to further enhance their logistics transport performance. Validation of scale measurement for sustainable logistics practices of transports is the first of its kind in the literature on sustainability.

Diakui masih terdapat masalah bersifat konseptual dan amalan dalam penerimaan pakai konsep ini. Terdapat dua kaedah utama liabiliti boleh disabitkan kepada syarikat; melalui liabiliti vikarius dan prinsip identifikasi. Selain itu, statut juga boleh mengenakan liabiliti secara terus ke atas syarikat tanpa bersandarkan prinsip-prinsip common law ini. Liabiliti jenayah korporat akan menjadikan syarikat lebih berhati-hati dalam menjalankan urusan seharian mereka untuk mengelakkan risiko pendakwaan. Malahan, terdapat liabiliti tertentu yang hanya boleh dikenakan kepada syarikat sebagai sebuah organisasi tanpa mengaitkan dengan mana-mana pengarahnya.

It is acknowledged that there are still conceptual and practical issues in adopting this concept. There are two main methods of liability where company may be convicted ; through vicarious liability and identification principles. In addition, statutes may also impose liability directly to a company without applying the common law principles. Corporate criminal liability will make the company more cautious in conducting their daily business to avoid the risk of prosecution. In fact, there are certain liabilities that can only be imposed on the company as an organisation without associating with any of its directors. Based on the case study and practice in Malaysia, and comparisons with the position in the United Kingdom and Australia; it is recommended that the concept of corporate liability be taken seriously to be developed in enhancing its role to increase good corporate governance in Malaysia.

The equity fund flows are of (1) local institutional and retail investors and (2) foreign institutional and retail investors. Using a daily aggregate data, the findings of this study reveal that foreign institutional equity fund flows have an impact on both local institutional and retail equities’ fund flows. However, local institutional equity fund flows do not have relationships with either foreign institutional or retail equity fund flows. This research also shows that there is a bi-directional causality between local retail and foreign institutional equities’ fund flows. However, there is a uni-directional causality running from local retail to foreign retail equity fund flows. The finding also discloses that there is no lead-lag relationship between foreign institutional and retail equities’ fund flows. Even though both local institutional and retail equities’ fund flows influence each other, the impact of local institutional on local retail equity fund flows is stronger. Fund flows own innovations explain more on the variability in both foreign institutional and retail equities’ fund flows, as well as local retail equity fund flows. However, innovations in other types of equity fund flows on aggregate basis explain more on the variability in local institutional equity fund flows as opposed to its own innovations.

A survey design using cross-sectional primary data from 212 Malaysian consumers that were aware and/or had experienced the violation of a Halal certification was collected. Hypotheses related to determinants and outcomes of anti-consumption behavior were tested by means of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Findings show that trust recovery and anti-consumption behaviors are negatively related; the severity of Halal violation is positively related to anti-consumption behaviors.

Pihak-pihak berkontrak adalah terikat pada apa yang dipersetujui dan tertera dalam kontrak untuk mendapatkan tebus rugi walaupun undang-undang kontrak telah memperuntukkan remedi untuk perlanggaran kontrak.

Parties to the contract merely relied on the contents of the contract to fulfil their obligations as agreed. The problem arises when there is a breach of contract. The contracting parties are bound by what they have agreed in order to claim damages although contract law does provide remedies for breach of contract. However, the aggrieved party will not often get the remedies as desired. Consequently, remedies have therefore fail to function in protecting the interest of the aggrieved party. The empirical analysis in this article shows that contract law is not a champion for consumers’ choice of remedies. Hence, this article adopts the pure doctrinal method, using historical, jurisprudential and analytical and critical approaches in analysing the management of contract through theories of remedy to ensure protection of remedial rights among the contracting parties.

Few studies had been conducted to test the applicability of the above framework in the Malaysian context. A self-administered questionnaire was given to 452 PHEIs in Malaysia, and the data collected was analyzed using SmartPLS software. Findings revealed that top management support, government support, faculty support, and stake holder pressure played an important and significant role in influencing the competitiveness of PHEIs and the adoption of green initiative did mediate the above relationship. Regulatory compliance was not significant in influencing the green initiatives. Additionally, green initiative was found to mediate the relationship between the influencing factors and competitiveness.

This study utilizes content analysis method to collect VRMD data, while FP is measured based on investors’ perspective, represented by Tobin’s Q. Multivariate statistical tests show that the existence of Risk Management Committee (RMC) augmented the association between VRMD and FP. However, the appointment of audit committee (AC) and the quality of AC which are represented by size, independence, education and number of AC meetings, do not have any moderating effect on the relationship between VRMD and FP. The findings suggest that risk governance mechanisms do matter to investors in evaluating risk management information.
