The Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR4.0) has provided immense benefits for the sustainability of businesses, with many businessesutilising websites to sell their products and services internationally. Cybersecurity has nonetheless emerged as one of the most significant global challenges posed by this new digitization trend. Currently, more than sixty percent of commercial transactions are conducted online or via digital wallets, necessitating exceptional security for transparent and secure transactions. Individuals are unable to maintain the security of their private data because of these evolving technologies, and cybercrime is on the rise. Information security is one of the most complex issues currently. Cybercrimes, which are increasing at an alarming rate, are the first thing that comes to mind when we think about cyber security. Consequently, numerous governments and corporations are enhancing their cybersecurity tools to combat cybercrime. Despite numerous precautions, cyber threats remain a major concern not only for government and large businesses, but also for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses (SMEs) companies. This paper examines the challenges and solutions faced by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in relation to cyber security issues. In addition, it also examines the Malaysian context that may hinder the cybersecurity adoption gap for risk mitigation and high security in operational and development business environments.
The present study examined the impact of organizational factors on deviant workplacebehavior and the moderating role of transformational leadership in managing theimpact of organizational factors on deviant workplace behavior (DWB) and, drawingon the theoretical supports of social exchange theory, social learning theory and thepsychological contract theory. A total of 380 individuals from 20 public organizationssituated in Lahore, the Punjabi provincial capital of Pakistan, participated in the presentstudy. The results from Structural Equation Modeling are presented using SPSS andAMOS. The results revealed significant relationship and supported the hypothesizeddirect impact of organizational factors on deviant workplace behavior in Pakistanipublic organizations. However, moderating effect of transformational leadershipamong organizational factors and deviant workplace is not supported as hypothesed.
Prioritizing and making decisions on what student activities to be selected and conducted to fulfill the aspiration of a university requires some understanding on the mission of the university as translated in its strategic plan and the basic theory on student development. For government funded universities in Malaysia, the recent budget cut imposed by the Malaysian government has made the task more difficult. In this paper, we illustrated how 0-1 integer programming (0-1 IP) model was implemented to select which activities among the forty activities proposed by the student body of Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) to be implemented for the 2017/2018 academic year. Two different models were constructed. The 0-1 IP model was developed to determine which activities to be selected based on RM50,000 total budget allocated by the UUM management towards fulfilling the SETARA-rating requirements as well as the Chickering’s student development theory. The selection of activities was also based on maximizing the preference of the members of the student body whereby the preference value for each activity was determined using Compromised-Analytic Hierarchy Process. The optimal result obtained using LINGO version 11 revealed that the budget allocated was more than enough to fulfill all the needed requirements. The technique used in this study will be useful and suitable to be implemented by organizations with key performance indicator-oriented programs and having limited budget allocation issues.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
