Proposed Model

The objective of the study is to empirically examine the various components of subjective well-being (SWB) and its role in the association between personality and contextual performance (CP). To validate the proposed model, Indian executives from various organizations were surveyed with a survey method. The sample response from 809 respondents has been analysed with the assistance of the partial least squares (PLS) structural equation modelling (SEM) approach. The results from the study establish SWB as a mediator between personality and CP. A positive association is observed with specific components of personality factors and SWB and CP. Organizations can also learn from the study that increasing the SWB of employees is one of the important parameters for their CP.

This study aims to investigate the influence of curiosity on subjective well-being (SWB). More specifically, we examine the mediating role that the Big Five personality traits play in the relationships between these two variables. To this purpose, we used questionnaires in order to measure curiosity (Curiosity and Exploration Inventory-II), SWB (Satisfaction with Life Scale and Scale of Positive and Negative Experiences) and the Big Five personality factors (Big Five Inventory-10) in a case of a sample of 330 undergraduates (Mean age = 18.93). The analysis carried out is based on correlations, regressions and structural equation modelling. The model obtained using structural equation modelling revealed a significant relationship between curiosity and SWB via personality characteristics (χ²/df =1.74; comparative fit index = 0.95; root mean square error of approximation = 0.051; standardised root mean square residual = 0.032). Therefore, curiosity correlates significantly with SWB, but individuals characterised by a high degree of curiosity tend to have well-developed well-being since they tend to be extroverted, perseverant and emotionally stable. Future studies should also focus on other types of personality traits.   Keywords: Arterial Five personality traits, curiosity, mediation, subjective well-being.

Appropriate discipline style should be used by the teachers to discipline the students.Teacher are unsured and confused when handling student discipline and show the absence of a strong teacher efficacy.Thus, the objective of this study was to examine the influence of the teacher efficacy towards the Teacher Discipline Style, i.e: Supporter, Abdicator, Enforcer, Negotiator and Compromiser (Tomal,1999). Appropriate discipline style is determined by the highest rate of the teachers’ efficacy. The survey method used a cross sectional design that was carried out among 320 teachers who are the Disciplinary Committee members in national primary schools in Kedah and Perlis. Two instruments are used, Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES) and The Teacher Discipline Five Style Inventory. Descriptive data are analyzed using SPSS version 19. Inferential statistics are analyzed by using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling 3(PLS-SEM 3). The findings show that the teacher efficacy has a great influence on Negotiator discipline style but has no influence on the Abdicator discipline style. The findings of this study can contribute to the Ministry Of Education (MOE) as a guide to the selection of a discipline teacher in school and also identify teachers that use the disciplinary style that has lower influence of teacher efficacy to take preventive action. Abstrak Stail disiplin yang sesuai perlu digunakan oleh guru untuk mendisiplinkan pelajar. Guru tidak pasti pasti dan keliru semasa mengendalikan disiplin pelajar dan menunjukkan ketiadaan efikasi guru yang mantap. Justeru, objektif kajian ini adalah mengkaji Pengaruh Efikasi Guru Terhadap lima Stail Disiplin Guru iaitu Penyokong, Penyerahan, Penguatkuasaan, Kompromi dan Penguatkuasaan (Tomal, 1999). Stail disiplin yang sesuai ditentukan melalui kadar efikasi guru yang paling tinggi. Kajian tinjauan menggunakan reka bentuk keratan rentas telah dijalankan terhadap 320 orang guru jawatankuasa disiplin daripada sekolah kebangsaan di Kedah dan Perlis. Dua instrumen digunakan iaitu Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale – TSES), dan The Teacher Discipline Five-Style Inventory. Penganalisisan data deskriptif menggunakan SPSS versi 19. Statistik inferensi menggunakan Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM 3). Dapatan kajian menunjukkan efikasi guru mempunyai pengaruh yang tinggi terhadap stail disiplin Perundingan Namun tidak mempunyai pengaruh terhadap stail disiplin Penyerahan. Dapatan kajian ini dapat memberikan sumbangan kepada Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia (KPM) sebagai panduan pemilihan guru disiplin di sekolah serta mengenalpasti guru yang menggunakan stail disiplin yang mempunyai pengaruh efikasi yang rendah untuk dilakukan tindakan pencegahan.

This study aims to develop a model that explains the Islamic finance adoption by small and medium enterprises (SMEs). We extend the Theory of Planned Behavior by uniting it with the Theory of Diffusion of Innovation. The proposed model examines the effect of innovativeness along with the attitude formation and intention factors towards Islamic finance by focusing on the small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This model was tested by analyzing data from 505 SMEs owners using Structural Equation Modelling. The results show that it is not only the attitude towards Islamic finance and other behavioral factors that determine the intention to use Islamic finance, the innovativeness also matters Keywords: Momentum, Portfolio, Winner Stocks, Loser Stocks
