To strengthen social connections within the Ashwa community, it is crucial to implement interventions that address their specific needs. This study aims to develop an intervention plan tailored to the Ashwa community's requirements, with the objective of enhancing social connections among its members. Data collection involves conducting interviews with community members who actively participate in discussions or casual conversations on the community's Discord group, enabling identification of their specific needs. These needs are then transcribed, coded, and translated into intervention plans. The plans undergo a rigorous process of confirmation, validation, and review by mental health professionals as part of a triangulation process. The outcomes of this process lead to the development of three intervention plans: peer support groups, bonding and connection activities, and routine reminders as mental health support for the Ashwa community. Further research is highly recommended to evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions, which could be assessed through pre- and post-implementation measurements.","PeriodicalId":488489,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Behavioural Sciences","volume":"46 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136018247","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}

However, Malaysia has experienced high turnover rates in the hotel industry. Therefore, it is essential to conduct research to address this issue. This study aims to examine the impact of job stress on turnover intention among hotel employees and explore whether organizational commitment acts as a mediating factor in this relationship. This quantitative cross-sectional study collected primary data from 107 employees working in hotels in Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh using convenience sampling. The collected data was analysed using various statistical techniques in the SPSS statistical package. The results indicated that job stress was a significant predictor of turnover intention, but organizational commitment did not have a mediating effect in this relationship. The study raises awareness among employers in the hotel industry regarding the impact of job stress on their employees. Consequently, the discussion and implications section offer several suggestions to address this problem.","PeriodicalId":488489,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Behavioural Sciences","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135991024","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}

This growth has brought significant opportunities for domestic tourism destinations as student travelers often prefer short-haul journeys due to poor budget. Understanding their destination choices is crucial for policy-makers of those destinations. The purpose of this article is to propose a conceptual model for predicting the intention of domestic tourism destination choice among student travelers and test measurement scales preliminarily. Building upon literature review, the paper integrates destination emotion into the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) model. Consequently, in the extended TPB model, intention to visit a domestic destinationin of a student is assumed to be influenced directly and positively not only by the original factors (attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control) but also by emotions towards the destination such as joy, love, and positive surprise. Moreover, preliminary test revealed that measurement scales are suitable for further research.","PeriodicalId":488489,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Behavioural Sciences","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135991030","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}
