The unit of analysis in this study were made up of 133 employees in selected industries in Malaysia which are from manufacturing, education, public administration and also hospitality sector. The respondents are four states in Peninsular Malaysia which are Terengganu, Johor, Pulau Pinang and Selangor.The data was gathered using self-administered questionnaires by using a seven point likert-scale. The data collected then will be analysed using SPSS 20 for two analysis statistic, including inferential statistics and descriptive analysis.

However, to date little has been reported in the literature on how the OSM is holding on in the strategy implementation phase in the public sector setting, thus, this study intends to understand the perceived roles undertaken by OSM and the meanings of its existence in strategy implementation process in the public sector environment. Hence, it is hopeful that, this research could shed light on the roles performed by the OSM and find ways of strengthening the Office further in the public sector. A qualitative case study approach on the OSM of a government ministry in Brunei is selected for this research project. The studied ministry is purposely chosen because it is one of the earliest adopters of Performance Management System via Balanced Scorecard (BSC) approach. The primary instrument used in this research is face-to-face interviews. The interviewees comprise of departmental officers across the ministry including officers from the OSM. Documentation analysis was also deployed that complement main research instrument deployed. The main findings captured are cross-validated among interviewees and research instruments so as to verify their exact meanings.

Data were gathered from 256 respondents from seven colleges and universities using Google form link. Smart PLS was used in the statistical treatment of data. Findings revealed the following: Lack of employers’ support has a negative impact on job satisfaction; working space affects job satisfaction; Job satisfaction is negatively influenced by work-life balance (WLB); Work-life balance is positively influenced by working space; there is a negative link between students’ attitudes and work-life balance; Working space has a positive impact on teaching online; there is a negative link between students’ attitudes and teaching online; and there is a link between teaching online and employers’ support towards job satisfaction. Therefore, despite students’ negative attitude, teachers are still satisfied with their online teaching job if supported by their employers; given conducive space for working; and are able to balance their job with their family life.

The analysis of the Grade 12 National Senior Certificate Results from 2016 to 2019 of the high schools in the Phambela Circuit, revealed that learners' performances in Mathematics have had a negative impact on the overall pass rate of Grade 12 learners, within each high school, in the Phambela Circuit.
