The positive impacts that volunteerism carries are undeniable, as it does not only mould quality human capital for the nation, but through it, we are also preparing future generation to lead the country. Malaysia currently has 1.2 million university students, however, unfortunately there is a lack of recent study of the involvement of the university students in volunteerism. Realizing the importance of the involvement of the undergraduate student in volunteerism as it acts as a tool to inculcate the sense of morality in self and social responsibility towards the country, this study seeks to highlight the importance of volunteerism as a tool for educating the youth. It also analyzes a global overview of youths volunteerism with a comparison being made to the local scenario. Most importantly, factors that motivated them in volunteering are also discussed so as to provide a guideline in empowering youth volunteerism.
The increase of Online Food Delivery Services (OFDS) is a result of rising consumer demand. Halal food's integrity has been questioned by customers particularly on issues of hygiene and quality. There are a few OFDS literature reviews that have examined halal supply chains in-depth. The use of Halal Supply Chain Management Systems (HSCMS) by food delivery services is examined in this study. Traceability mechanisms and barriers to halal supply chain implementation will be identified. Qualitative methods are used to collect data and semi-structured questions are used to quantify information. Interviews are conducted to assess halal supply chain management practices. The Informants were the upper management of two halal food delivery companies in Klang Valley, Selangor, Peninsular Malaysia. The companies were L and B. HSCMS are crucial for addressing halal integrity concerns. This study provides valuable insights into how halal supply chains are currently managed. Through a traceability system for OFDS, multidimensional parties and academia will discover how to ensure halal integrity, safety and quality.
This paper empirically analyzes the validity and reliability of philanthropic behaviour measurement items using Rasch Model. The survey is grounded on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) but extends to include other relevant factors, thus the items’ validity and reliability need to be confirmed. The instrument consists of 40 items vested under seven dimensions; attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, altruism, financial stability, religiosity and trust. Based on the analysis, item polarity indicates that the point measure correlation for the 40 items measuring determinants of philanthropic behavior is between 0.26 to 0.60. Overall item reliability and item separation is 0.97 and 6.05 respectively, while for person reliability and person separation is 0.85 and 2.34 respectively, considered good and productive for the intended measurement. In terms of items fit, results show that only five items are found misfit and need further scrutinization prior to removal of the items.
