Authors:Marhana Mohamed Anuar, Maznah Wan Omar, Jumadil Saputra Pages: 590 - 611 Abstract: The objective of this study is to examine the effects of psychological factors on green behaviour engagement among students in Malaysia. This study has integrated the theory of planned behaviour and value-attitude-behaviour model to develop a framework in order to predict green behaviour engagement among students. A self-administered survey was conducted among students from two top green campuses in Malaysia. The results indicate that green values have positive influences on students' attitude towards the environment. Subjective norms and perceived consumer effectiveness have significant impacts on green behaviour engagement, whereas attitude towards the environment has no significant influence on green behaviour engagement. The model developed in this study is helpful in predicting the factors that influence green behaviour engagement. The results of this study provide useful information and guidance for green campus administrators to plan for green campus initiatives in the future.

Authors:Md. Mahmudul Alam, Norazlina Abd Wahab, M. Ashraf Al Haq, Siti Aznor Ahmad Pages: 612 - 639 Abstract: Zakat is compulsory charity in Islam to fight poverty and inequality, but there is a gap in literature concerning the performance of zakat in terms of achieving sustainable development for its recipients. Therefore, this study intends to assess the role of zakat in achieving the sustainable development status for recipients. This study collected primary data through a questionnaire survey among 440 zakat recipients from the Kedah State in Malaysia. The data were analysed using structural equation modelling. The findings reveal that zakat helps to improve the overall sustainable development status of its recipients, but the economic aspect improves more than the social and environmental aspects. Therefore, to ensure the success of zakat in line with the goals of achieving sustainable development for recipients as advocated by the United Nations, the policymakers and zakat administrators around the world and particularly in Malaysia need to focus on redesigning the zakat management program.

Authors:Basheer Al-haimi, Daing Nasir Ibrahim, Mohd Rashid Ab Hamid Pages: 640 - 661 Abstract: National leadership has a great impact on organisations' performance and success. The aims of this study are: (1) to examine the factors that have facilitated the emergence of Malaysian universities on the global stage; (2) to make inquiries into the Malaysian leadership's impact on factors (talent, governance, and resources. Recent studies that have been conducted on world-class universities' status did not include the effect of national leadership as a moderating variable. To carry out this study, a total sample of 126 was achieved from the respondents. The results showed a significant effect of talent, governance, and resources in achieving world-class university status in Malaysia. Second, it indicated that national leadership moderated the connection that existed between the three variables. The implication is that the basis for the successful establishment of any university in developing countries that aspire to attain world-class status is the leadership's role.

Authors:Mohammad Falahat, Tan Jie Ling, Ramayah Thurasamy Pages: 662 - 683 Abstract: This study examines the psychological characteristics of individuals and the COVID-19 pandemic that influence entrepreneurial intention. Psychological characteristics involve individuals' innovativeness, risk-taking, proactiveness, vision and self-efficacy. A total of 583 valid samples was collected from final year students at local and international universities in Malaysia. The partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) technique is applied, and the results show that innovativeness, risk-taking, entrepreneurial vision, self-efficacy as well as COVID-19 have a strong effect on entrepreneurial intention. Conversely, the entrepreneurial intention is not significantly being influenced by proactiveness. Nationality, age, and education level serve as control variables in this study whereas most of them do not show a significant impact on entrepreneurial intention, except age.

Authors:Zalinawati Abdullah, Marhana Mohamed Anuar, Mohd Rafi Yaacob Pages: 684 - 704 Abstract: This study examines the effects of religiosity and attitude on cause-related marketing (CRM) purchase decision. The authors also assess the mediating effect of attitude in the relationship between religiosity and CRM product purchase. The value-attitude-behaviour model serves as the underlying theory in this study. The data were collected using an online survey on 319 Malaysian consumers and were analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling. The findings indicate that religiosity and attitude positively impact CRM product purchase. Furthermore, for the mediating analysis, the results confirm that there is a mediating role of attitude on the relationship between religiosity and CRM product purchase. The findings provide significant contributions to theory and practice. This study is among the few studies that examines the effect of religiosity on CRM product purchase. Additionally, the findings of this study suggest a number of practical implications for both academics and practitioners.

Authors:Haim Hilman Abdullah, Shahmir Sivaraj Abdullah, Rajoo Ramanchandram, Maharazu Ibrahim Pages: 705 - 728 Abstract: This study is a cross-national comparative study conducted on small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Kedah, Malaysia, and Kaduna, Nigeria, as entrepreneurial behaviour and culture differ among nations. It investigated the moderating influence of perceived usefulness (PU) on the relationship between entrepreneurial behaviour (EB) and culture (EC) and technology adoption (IntAdo) among SMEs in both countries with entrepreneurs as samples. Using SPSS 26 and SPSS Process Macro Version 3.5.3 by Andrew Hayes, the study found that the moderating effect of perceived usefulness on the combined relationship of entrepreneurial behaviour and culture on technology adoption among entrepreneurs managing SMEs in Kedah, Malaysia, was statistically insignificant at p = 0.0973 (above p = 0.05), whereas it was statistically significant at p = 0.0264 (below p = 0.05) in Kaduna, Nigeria. This study contributes to knowledge on differing dynamics when adopting technology in different countries. The study does not imply that its exhaustive as other factors may need to be identified by further research.
