- Authors: Abdullah Ibrahim; Anuar Safian, Nur Fazliza Zulkafli, Ahmad Aizuddin Md Rami, Wan Khairul Aiman Wan Mokhtar
  Abstract: Students play an important role as potential leaders of the country and need to have a high level of understanding and appreciation of their obligations as citizens of Malaysia. This study examines the influence of student leadership on nationalism and identity education among those active youth leaders who are still studying on the East Coast of Malaysia. The cross-sectional survey method was applied in the data collection process involving the Visionary Youth Leadership Survey questionnaire established by Joseph in 2007, an Identity Model questionnaire developed by Corner in 1993, and a Nationalist Value Model questionnaire from the National Policy Publishing Division in 2009. A total of 326 youth leaders were still studying and leading youth associations in their respective regions by the time of the study. Findings show visionary leadership of youth leaders has proven to have a 47% influence on identity. In addition, Visionary Youth Leadership also influenced 76% of nationalism. In conclusion, the findings demonstrate that Nationalism plays a mediator in the relationship between the Visionary Leadership of Youth Leaders and Identity Education where Nationalism acts as a partial mediator. This study can be used by national leaders, university management, and education departments as a guide in assessing the leadership aspects of national leaders. In addition, this study can serve as a basic reference for enhancing the various disciplines of leadership management based on nationalism and identity education as the foundation for the development of a leader's identity.

Analysis of Human Capital Effects: A Systematic Review of the Literature
- Authors: KAFANDO Benoit; THIOMBIANO Noël, PELENGUEI Essohanam, BAZIE Porto
  Abstract: Economic theory presents human capital as playing a driving role in the process of economic and social development in the countries. Indeed, human capital is presented in several research works as a factor that promotes accelerated growth and sustainable development. Microeconomic analyzes also suggest that investments that improve the level of human capital contribute to improving the distribution of income, but also reduce poverty. However, these conclusions seem not to be shared by all researchers. This article aims to enlighten researchers and especially young researchers on the results of the analyzes of human capital’s effects on economic growth, income inequality, poverty and welfare. In order to achieve this objective, we collected information through search engines. This strategy required the definition of four equations with Boolean operators linking the key words of the study, i.e., ‘education’ with ‘economic growth’, ‘income inequality’, ‘poverty’ and ‘welfare’. Based on the results obtained, we note the existence of a consensus around the effects of human capital on poverty and welfare. However, the results obtained for agricultural productivity, economic growth and income inequality remain mixed. One observation made in the literature is the use of education quantity as a proxy of human capital. As the definition of human capital is broader, education quantity cannot be a good proxy. We suggest some avenues for new research based on a more global human capital index, because this one takes into account other dimensions such as stunting, mortality, average number of years of education and education quality,

Conscientiousness, Person Supervisor Fit and Organisational Citizenship
Behaviour
- Authors: Gait Heng; Judy Chang, Pei Sung Toh, Debbra Toria Nipo
  Abstract: Organisational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB) has become an on-going important aspect in Human Resource Management. OCB is essential in improving organisations in terms of performance and productivity. The objectives of this study are two-fold: (1) to investigate the relationship among conscientiousness and organisational citizenship behaviour, and (2) to investigate the relationship among person supervisor fit and organisational citizenship behaviour. With this study, the negative outcomes of OCB can be reduced while enhancing the better outcomes of OCB. This study was applied among the employees in the finance and insurance industry in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia with a sample of 185. The participants were chosen in a purposive sampling method to ensure they are working in the relevant industry. A mono design that is a quantitative method was applied through google form questionnaires. This study is being formulated at a theoretical level and tested at an empirical level with SPSS 27 and SmartPLS 3.0. This study revealed that both conscientiousness and person-supervisor fit have positive effects on organisational citizenship behaviour. This study recommended that the Ministry of Finance should focus on the enhancement of organisational citizenship behaviour with the relation of personality and the fit between an employee and a supervisor.
