Thus, this study is being conducted to examine what is the main factor of the Glass Ceiling which could give an impact on women's career development. There are four factors that impact career women's development which include individual factors, family factors, organizational factors, and cultural factors. This study adopted quantitative research by distributing a set of questionnaires to collect data from 100 respondents in Malaysia. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Version 25 Software.

Students’ misconceptions of heat and temperature concepts was determined through relevant studies and tested through the understanding of heat and temperature concept test. This research involved 70 students from four fields of study. 35 respondents were used as control groups, and the remaining 35 were employed as experimental groups. Both groups received theoretical lessons. Only experimental group conducted experiments on the heat and temperature concepts and been exposed to the conceptual change-based teaching during the experiment. Students in both groups were tested through the understanding of heat and temperature concept test after conventional science teaching and subsequently after conceptual change-based teaching. The study was based on differences in factors of gender, areas of study, socioeconomic status and student age.

These types of behaviors are categorized into workplace incivility and deviant behavior. Personality traits are one of the characteristics that tend to influence a person's behavior at work. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the relationship between personality traits and workplace incivility and deviant behavior. This study is a quantitative study, where data is collected using a three-part questionnaire which are demographics, personality inventory and workplace behavior. The study sample consisted of 97 employees of private organizations around the state of Selangor and the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur. Data were then analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software. Pearson's correlation test and multiple regression tests were carried out to achieve the research's objectives. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between personality traits and workplace deviant behavior and incivility. The results also showed that personality traits significantly predict workplace deviant behavior and incivility. The insights gained can help organizations in hiring new employees or identifying possible causes for unwanted issues within the organization. Keyword: Personality, Deviant Behavior, Incivility, Psychology, Workplace Introduction Most employees in an organization have the experience of being treated rudely or disrespected by their colleagues whether consciously or not. Such behavior is called workplace incivility. According to Miner and Cortina (2016), specific examples of rudeness in the workplace include neglecting someone, making derogatory comments, insulting or shouting at an individual, refusing to communicate orally and speaking in an unprofessional manner to an individual. As many as 98 percent of employees have been estimated to be impolite in the workplace with 50 percent experiencing it on a weekly basis (Porath & Pearson, 2013). This should not be the norm in an organization and should be curbed so as not to get worse, for example, the victim may behave deviant in the workplace if experiencing the matter continuously. Meanwhile, deviant behavior in the workplace refers to the voluntary behavior of individuals International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences Vol. 1 1 , No. 3, 2021, E-ISSN: 2222-6990 © 2021 HRMARS 171 who violate organizational norms and threaten the well-being of the organization, members of the organization, or both (Robinson & Bennett, 1995). Examples of such behaviors include theft, sabotage, vandalism, embezzlement, harassment, and drug use (Bennett & Robinson, 2000; Gruys & Sackett, 2003; Robinson & Bennett, 1995; Sackett & DeVore, 2001; Spector et al., 2006).

In a more in-depth review, this study examines the reliability and validity of a new measure of project success based on the Malaysian Small Public Construction Projects (SPCPs) context. This study uses a measuring tool called Project Success Achieved Instrument (PSAI) that consists of five dimensions with factor loadings ranging from 0.555 to 0.830. Although several researchers have recognized the PSAI as adequate to explain the project success framework, it has not been studied in developing countries with different perspectives such as Malaysia. The questionnaire was distributed to two major federal organizations, Implementation Coordination Unit, Prime Minister Department (ICU JPM), and Ministry of Rural Development (KPLB), which involved 137 active project managers.

Islamic law can play an important role in foreign policy formulation as Maqasid Al-Shariah (Objectives of Islamic Law) are universal. Maqasid Al-Shariah is divided into three categories: general Maqasid, specific Maqasid, and partial Maqasid. Despite this universality, there is an inadequate explanation of the application of Maqasid Al-Shariah in foreign policy. Therefore, this study aims to explore the application of Maqasid Al-Shariah in the foreign policy of Islamic states. The study employed a qualitative approach in which document analysis was used to gather information from the United Nations Human Rights report of 2015. The study found that Maqasid AlShariah can play a significant role in the foreign policy of Islamic states through the protection of people’s life, property, health, religion, and dignity. Further analysis revealed that Maqasid Al-Shariah can be successfully incorporated in the foreign policy-making process of Islamic states, particularly where international treaties neglect or contradict the principles of Islamic law. Hence, Maqasid Al-Shariah should be fully implemented in the foreign policy process of governments of Islamic countries at both the national and international levels.","PeriodicalId":333260,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123992079","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}

Abstract The Malaysian government has developed significant disability provision, policies and legislations since the period of colonialism, but disabled people still encounter major barriers in education and training. Although disability is argued to have some relation to gender and culture, significant research involving Malaysian disabled women in terms of education and training is very limited. This paper therefore sets to explore the lived experiences of Malaysian disabled women in education and training. This study used a full qualitative research approach in which the data was collected from in-depth interviews with 33 Malaysian women with physical (mobility) impairment. 17 Malays, 8 Chinese and 8 Indian women were interviewed twice in Peninsular Malaysia within the period of six months. The majority of women came from low-income and rural families. Findings suggested that structural and attitudinal barriers were found to be the main barriers for many women to access education and training.
