The traditional costumes of the Mojiang Hani people stand as integral bearers of their national culture, adorned with intricately handwoven elements. However, the advent of modern technology and shifts in the social environment have precipitated a marked decline in the prevalence of handwoven techniques within the decorative aspects of traditional costumes. This jeopardizes the continuity of a craft that is deeply woven into the fabric of their cultural identity. This research employs a methodical combination of observation and interviews to purposefully collect data on Mojiang Hani hand weaving techniques. The findings illuminate that the gradual disappearance of these techniques is intricately linked to their inherent complexity, manifesting across five dimensions: classification, materials, process, patterns, and forms. In response to these complexities, the research proposes judicious recommendations aimed at the effective preservation and transmission of Mojiang Hani hand weaving techniques and, by extension, their traditional culture. Beyond immediate preservation efforts, these suggestions form a solid foundation for future research endeavors and the sustainable development of Mojiang Hani hand weaving techniques, fostering a continuum of cultural heritage in the face of contemporary challenges.","PeriodicalId":502806,"journal":{"name":"paperASIA","volume":"53 16","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141806826","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}

Its main objective is to examine the relationship between psychological empowerment and tax transparency on tax compliance behaviour. Malaysia continues to struggle with issues of under-reporting. Due to limited resources, the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (IRB) cannot fully ascertain the underlying causes of non-compliance. This study is novel in that it proposes a different model for measuring tax compliance behaviour, including the variable of psychological empowerment, which has been limited in previous taxation studies. The study employed SPSS and AMOS for data analysis. Responses from 230 SMEs in the manufacturing sector were collected using stratified random sampling. The results indicate that both psychological empowerment and tax transparency have a positive and significant relationship with tax compliance behaviour.
