This article examined citizens' trust and demographic factors such as age, gender, and education as predictors of readiness to use e-government services. This article also sought to explore the moderating role of these demographic factors on the positive relationship between citizens' trust and readiness to use e-government services. The data gathered was captured and analyzed with SPSS. The results indicated that citizens' trust is a significant predictor of readiness to adopt e-government services. However, the demographic factors such as age, gender, and education were all not statistically significant in determining the readiness to use e-government services. The article also found that these demographic factors do not moderate significantly the impact of citizen trust on the readiness to use e-government services. The implications of these findings are further discussed.

Moral Efficacy

Different from the previous studies that mainly focused on the mindfulness at the individual level, this research explores the effect of team mindfulness on employee moral efficacy, and considers the influence of the interaction between team bottom-line mentality (BLM) and team mindfulness on employees’ moral efficacy. Results from three-wave surveys of 275 employees indicated that: the team BLM will weaken the positive relationship between team mindfulness and employees’ moral effectiveness. This research advances the current understandings of the influencing process between team mindfulness and employees’ moral efficacy by identifying the moderating role of team BLM, and casts the spotlight on the impact mechanism among team mindfulness, team BLM, and employees’ moral efficacy at the team level. Theoretical and practical implications are also discussed.

This study examines the impact of zakat on the life sustainability of individuals. The data were collected from 427 returned questionnaires from zakat recipients in eleven districts of Kedah. Using PLS-SEM, it was found that asnafs’ receiving offers a very low level of assistance that provides little empowerment. The results support the notion that institutional contributory performance has a positive effect and that the level of sustainability does increase after receiving zakat, but there are issues that need to be addressed carefully. The study further examines the moderating role of demographic factors, such as earnings, age, marital status and gender. It initiated a newer dimension through incorporating before-zakat and after-zakat scenarios in examining their comparative impact on sustainability.

Namun begitu, amalan whistleblowing juga turut tidak dapat mengelak daripada mengundang pelbagai respon khususnya dalam kalangan ahli organisasi itu sendiri.
