Kajian ini mengkaji hubungan gaya kepimpinan dan ciri kerja di Unit/Bahagian Perkhidmatan Maklumat sektor awam Malaysia. Seramai 31 orang pengurus Teknologi Maklumat sektor awam telah bekerjasama memberikan maklumat untuk kajian ini. Kepimpinan transaksi menunjukkan lebih banyak memberi pengiktirafan dan pujian kepada kakitangan profesional tetapi rendah dalam pemberian ganjaran. Kepimpinan transformasi menunjukkan gaya karismatik tinggi berbanding komponen lain dalam gaya kepimpinan transformasi. Ciri kerja menunjukkan tahap tinggi dalam kepentingan tugas dan keperluan bekerjasama dalam menjalankan tugas tetapi dengan tahap rendah dalam autonomi tugas. Kajian ini mendapati tiada hubungan bererti antara gaya kepimpinan dengan ciri kerja, tetapi wujud hubungan bererti antara kepimpinan transaksi dengan ciri kerja identiti tugas, maklum balas dari kerja, dan ciri kerja keseluruhan manakala kepimpinan transformasi pula hanya menunjukkan hubungan bererti dengan ciri kerja kepelbagaian kemahiran, dan tidak bererti kepada ciri kerja keseluruhan. Kata kunci: gaya kepimpinan; ciri kerja; teknologi maklumat; sektor awam This research investigates the relationship of leadership and job characteristics in the Information Technology centers of the Malaysian public sector departments. 31 Information Technology managers of the public sector departments participated in the study. Transactional leadership emphasizes recognition and recommendations to their professionals but was low in giving rewards. Transformational leadership showed a high charismatic leadership compared to the other components of transformational leadership. Job characteristics showed high job significant and dealing with others but were low in job autonomy. The study found that there is no significant relationship between leadership style and job characteristics, but there exists a significant relationship between transactional leadership and job identity, feedback from job, and with job characteristics itself; whilst transformational leadership showed a significant relatinship with task variety but not significant with job characteristics. Key words: leadership style; job characteristics; information technology; public sector departments

Business Security

This chapter provides an overview of digital business security. It is informed by a contemporary analysis of perceived threats through the eyes of information technology managers both from a representative public institution (a University) and from a private company (a retail sales company). A brief overview of malicious software leads into more general consideration of the risks and threats of security breaches, which are analysed from both a company and a customer perspective. Common to both sectors is the requirement to secure corporate records and other digital information and management and policy guidance is provided here. Cybercrime remains rife, but is both under-reported and under-prosecuted. As managers may become involved in legal issues associated with information technology security breaches, this chapter also overviews the special nature of digital evidence.

Despite the proliferation of e-commerce adoption by SMEs and the world-wide growth of e-commerce, in general there is a paucity of empirical studies that examine the adoption of e-commerce by SMEs in the Middle East. In this paper, the authors provide insights into the salient e-commerce adoption issues by focusing on Saudi Arabian SMEs. This research was designed using a qualitative approach through in-depth case studies selected from firms in Saudi Arabia. The findings contribute toward a better conceptual and practical understanding of the main factors driving SMEs to adopt e-commerce. The authors find that the level of e-commerce implementation has yet to mature and customer readiness for Internet shopping must improve before e-commerce reaches the levels of maturity seen in other regions of the world. This study highlights directions for future inquiry and implications for information and technology managers and policymakers in developing Arab nations.

Manufacturing Readiness

This chapter aims to provide a new readiness matrix called ‘innovative manufacturing readiness levels (IMRLs)’ to evaluate and assess the areas of micro and nanotechnology maturity including their performance. The study employs a case study approach through which the practicability and applicability of the IMRLs conceptual matrix were verified and confirmed. A case study with laser-based manufacturing technologies explores the stages of micro and nano technologies (MNTs)’ maturity, including the key issues and performances that contributed to the development of a new assessment tool. Concerning intense global R&D competition in MNTs, this study exhibits a forward-looking approach in assessing MNTs maturity and performance. A generic conclusion is reached by which product designers and technology managers position themselves and take into account risk reduction exercises related to MNTs. The novelty of the research could be that organizations, which develop and use MNTs, have an opportunity in applying such a specific assessment matrix to quantify the technology readiness of unreleased MNTs.

Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are beneficial in improving patient care, promoting safe practice, as well as enhancing patients and multiple providers’ communication and risk error reduction. However, it seems that the adoption of EHR system is happening very slowly to become fully integrated in both primary care and within hospital settings. In Malaysia, the implemented system still has limited integration and interoperability for supporting clinical operations among other Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOHM) hospitals, health centres, and clinics. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to discuss about this scenario and strain the need for solution through the consideration towards metadata standard establishment in health records system integration. Method used in this study is literature review analysis and face-to-face interview. The paper begins with discussions from various literatures highlighting the need of metadata standard for recordkeeping system integration. Subsequently, the face-to-face interview is done to explore the real situation in Malaysia to encounter the scenario discuss in the literatures. The finding of this study reveals that there is significant need for further research on record keeping metadata standard development for realization of electronic health records system integration. This study is significant for records managers, information technology managers, system developers and record keeping audit.
