A leader is not necessarily effective in carrying out his role as a leader in a community and its environment. An effective leader is if it can bring change to his followers in a community. The change in question is a change in the quality of life of the community. To obtain information on the influence of sustainable leadership on the quality of life, a study was conducted by selecting the coastal fishing community of Teluk Bintan as the object of study. The study was conducted quantitatively by disseminating questionnaires to 318 respondents and strengthened by qualitative information collected through interviews with figures who are considered influential in the community. The findings show that there is a relationship between sustainable leadership and quality of life, and sustainable leadership has an impact on the quality of life of coastal fishing communities in Bintan Bay. The main characteristic of sustainable leadership that the majority expect from the coastal fishing community in Bintan Bay, namely trust, is caring and modest. The sustainable leadership characteristics desired by the community are believed to bring prosperity to the coastal fishing community in Bintan Bay.","PeriodicalId":333260,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124409021","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}

The green practice involves 3R process that focus on effort to reduce, recycle, and reuse. The recycle issue always became on top in the list, indirectly other effort reduce and reuse also important toward environmental concerns. Thus, the researchers found it vital to conduct a study on the green practice process related to 3R (reduce, recycle, and reuse) based on affective and cognitive environmental, also interested to assess the role of students’ attitude as a mediator in the relationship between the variables of interest. For that reason, 112 respondents were selected to participate and all of them completed set of questionnaires. The findings show that, only affective environmental and students’ attitude have a significant and positive influence towards 3R processes. In addition, students’ attitude does not mediate the relationship between affective environmental and 3R since the indirect effect is smaller than direct effect. This finding determine Universiti Teknologi MARA students are putting their efforts and support toward environmental concern. Thus, business industry and tertiary institutional may need to collaborate to start encouraging their customers move effort toward 3R process to support green practice. Introduction Going green is not just recycling all the products that we used, it involves more effort than this. Each person playing the important roles to maintain, sustain and protecting the environment. A study from Chua et al (2011) said the prospect of a green future in Malaysia is very bright, meanwhile pursuing green technology in economic and social developments not only helps to sustain the non-renewable fuels, safeguards and minimises the environmental degradation due to carbon emissions, it also creates a strong green economy and industry, in line with the country's vision as well as the rest of the world economies.

Previous studies in entrepreneurship education also mentioned that emotions have received much less attention from researchers (Kurczewska et al., 2017) compared to cognition. According to Wolski (2009) several universities around the world have made commitments to promote strategies for creating more sustainable universities, through their teaching, their campuses and their management. Activities of going green held in 3R program that comprising activities of reduce, recycle and reuse. Even though the trend of sustainable development has not yet fully permeated to all disciplines, academics, and university leaders, many universities have become engaged in it (Lozano et al., 2013).

There is a lack of exploration in learning experiences that engage students in realistic, thought-provoking problems, working with others, and applying their knowledge, skills, and creativity to find solutions to real-world problems. One of the biggest challenges for Malaysian secondary chemistry education is that few guidelines or models exist regarding teaching chemistry creatively in the classroom. Therefore, this paper provided a systematic and analytical strategy in mapping out and offering a critical review on design thinking in education. Overall, this study recognized the gains that can be made from utilizing Design Thinking in education, especially in the global quest of teaching 21st-century skills, and had recommended using Design Thinking in the Lesson plan and Project-Based Learning. This paper also suggested a need to pursue further studies on developing a Design Thinking framework for creative teaching and how these could motivate and excite students and themselves in the creative teaching of chemistry in the classroom.","PeriodicalId":333260,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences","volume":"110 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115760237","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}

Therefore it is paramount to makesure that the working environment the employers prepare for the workforce has to be of their preferences and expectation. Understanding the humanistic requirements of the future workforce who are technological incline is very important to help retain them in the organization. The development of improved technology has pushed the boundaries of human expectation to another level that place the employers to be well prepared for the newer generation which is starting to take their places in the working world. This genenration is non other than Ge n Z. Labelled as “ the always connected generation’’, this generation will definitely have their expectation of the future work environment in order to maintain them in the office. The purpose of this analysis is to examine the response of 347 students from a group of private colleges who are Gen-Z born in 1995 to 2000 in an effort to conceptualize the preferred future working environment that will suit and retain them. The Smart Partial Least Square (Smart PLS) study shows a close relationship between characteristics, preferred communication, preferred leadership, expectation towards the working environment, towards their expected working environment. This study introduces significant results with implications for both practical methods and analytical analysis. by the four predictors. Although there was no large effect size for the four predictors, the expectation has a nearly medium effect size ( f 2 = 0.148) compared to the other three predictors. The lowest effect size was for preferred leadership ( f 2 = 0.017), which means that this construct does not affect the endogenous construct using the current sample. Next, the out-of-sample predictive relevance was assessed using two procedures: blindfolding procedure and PLS predict procedure. Results show Q 2 values were 0.273 and 0.495, respectively, which indicates that the model has good predictive relevance. The Mann Whitney U tests results indicate that two hypotheses are significant, i.e., work expectation and work environment are different based on gender, whereby females have lower levels of agreement to the measures of both constructs as compared to males. The first finding of the Mann Whitney U tests is consistent with a study by Miller and (2018) where female participants from the medical sector perceived more gender-based discrimination at work, i.e., perceptions of workplace discrimination may contribute to the persistence of the gender gap. However, the second finding contrasts with the results of a study by Jaworek and Dyląg (2015) that shows statistically significantly higher levels of all three examined job engagement (i.e., absorption, dedication, vigor) in women compared to men.","PeriodicalId":333260,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127347074","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}
