Digital transformation (DT) entails the strategic transformation of all aspects of the business that leading to the creation of a new ecosystem in which technology creates and delivers value to the stakeholders, and the ability of the business to adapt more quickly to the changing environment through the use of new and updated digital technologies. Although DT is a hot topic in the twenty-first century due to the constant changes in society and business, however, the current state of the literature lacks comprehensive conceptual and empirical studies, particularly on organisational members’ readiness of digital transformation at the micro-level and the associated facilitating factors. Therefore, this research aims to study the influences of digital organisational culture, digital literacy, attitudes towards digital transformation, self-efficacy, and autocratic leadership towards the readiness of digital transformation among Malaysian digital talents. Quantitative research approach with the online questionnaire survey was adopted. A sample of 450 respondents (digital talents) were collected as the source of primary data from the various industries in Malaysia. The data was then analysed by using SPSSv28 and SmartPLSv3.2.8. The findings conclude that all the direct and indirect relationships between the digital organisational culture, digital literacy, attitudes towards digital transformation, and self-efficacy towards readiness of digital transformation are significantly supported. Besides, the result also proved that the relationship between digital organisational culture and attitudes towards digital transformation would be weaken when there is present of a strong autocratic leadership.
The advancement of technology has facilitated sustainable and significant development in supporting digitalisation of business operations, including but not limited to electronic commerce, but also resulting in a significant increase in digital crimes, particularly online piracy. Many consumers seek out pirated content and the majority of them do not perceive it as something that could eventually harm the creative industry or perceive it as a wrong practice. Therefore, the problem of online piracy becomes rampant. This research investigates the direct and indirect relationships between deviant peer associations, perceived benefits, attitude towards digital piracy, subjective norms, self-efficacy, digital piracy intention and actual digital piracy behaviour. A total of 450 samples were gathered via an online self-administered questionnaire survey. The data was evaluated by structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). According to the statistical findings, all of the direct and indirect relationships among the seven variables are significantly supported. This study provides theoretical and managerial implications by demonstrating that digital piracy intention has a significant relationship on actual digital piracy behaviour as well as deviant peer associations have a significant relationship on an individual’s attitude towards digital piracy. This study concludes with some limitations and recommendations for the future digital piracy research.
Corporate sustainability is a key concern for corporation. This research intends to evaluate: (1) the influences of training and development and the components of human governance (i.e., transformational leadership, integrity and collectivism) on the corporate sustainability; (2) the impact of the components of human governance on training and development; and (3) the role of training and development in mediating the relationship between the components of human governance and corporate sustainability. Through an online questionnaire survey, 283 responses were collected from the Malaysia construction industry by using non-probability sampling technique. Statistical inferential analyses were carried out by utilising both SPSS Version 25.0 and SmartPLS 3.0. The results represented a significant positive relationship between the components of human governance, training and development, and corporate sustainability. This research also found that only transformational leadership and integrity (but not collectivism) have positive relationship on training and development. The research findings likewise evinced that training and development partially mediates the relationship between the components of human governance (i.e., transformational leadership and integrity but not collectivism) and corporate sustainability. This research contributes an unabridged theoretical perspective on corporate sustainability by providing a deeper understanding of how training and development and the components of human governance determine corporate sustainability as well as the relationships between transformational leadership, integrity and collectivism with corporate sustainability through the mediating role of training and development. Lastly, this research also promotes a better system and policies for organisations to achieve their goals of corporate sustainability.
