One of the most challenging issues faced by organizations in managing the workforce is job satisfaction. This study explores job satisfaction among the administrative staff in the Public Health Division of the Johor State Health Department, Malaysia. The researchers utilized self-made questionnaires to extract information from the 108 respondents across several departments. Accordingly, the data obtained were subjected to a t-test and a one-way ANOVA analysis. Seven factors were identified and tested to determine their influence on job satisfaction. The data indicate no significant difference in organizational job satisfaction among administrative staff in government health departments. Furthermore, the Bivariate correlation conducted on job satisfaction and the seven factors revealed that all mean factors were statistically significant (p-value < 0.01), except for operating conditions. Findings from this study provide insights for future research involving a larger group of administrative staff from different sectors and a comprehensive understanding of job satisfaction and related factors that motivate positive organizational behavior among employees in Malaysia.
When it comes to managing their workforce, one of the most difficult difficulties that organizations encounter is burnout among employees. This study sought to examine the level and factors contributing to burnout among employees in Johor state health department, Malaysia and to determine the association between burnout and sociodemographic. This was a cross-sectional study of 282 employees from Johor State health department. 22-item Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) was developed to measure emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment. The questionnaire elicited information regarding socio-demographic and work characteristics. Descriptive analysis was undertaken and parametric test was conducted to establish the relationship of burnout and sociodemographic. The data indicated on the MBI, majority of the respondents have moderate degree of emotional exhaustion (55.8%), High degree of depersonalization (55.8%) and low degree of personal accomplishment (62.2%). One way- ANOVA demonstrates there is association in emotional exhaustion between type of profession, depersonalization between type of profession and service period, and personal accomplishment between service period. (p value <0.01). The findings show that research design and techniques are sufficient for the upcoming prospective analyses of aetiology and effects of burnout and of the influence of workplace intervention.
Monkeypox is spreading rapidly in countries around the world, thus requiring the global community to be well prepared in order to prevent the infection from becoming the next global pandemic. The purpose of this study was to assess the knowledge of southern Malaysian community regarding their readiness towards a human monkeypox outbreak in 2022.A cross-sectional study was conducted from 15th August to 30th August 2022 by distributing an online survey link to the entire community in southern Malaysia, which was in Johor. The study measured the knowledge of respondents on 18-item scale and gathered explanatory variables. Two-step logistic regression analysis was utilised to determine the participants’ knowledge of monkeypox. A total of 484 participants were included. With the application of 80% criteria for knowledge domain, 25.8% of them had adequate knowledge. According to the conducted logistic regression, knowledge score is a significant predictor of occupation, education level, and salary (p value <0.01). Knowledge about monkeypox is relatively poor across all categories among communities in Johor. Improving the ability of the communities to respond towards human monkeypox cases and report them to a disease monitoring system will depend on a greater understanding of monkeypox.
Non communicable disease (NCD) has recently emerged as a major public-health concern, with prevalence rising over the world. As a submerged portion of the iceberg, the hidden burden of NCD is escalating and devouring the world. NCD affects HCW in the same way it affects other types of workers. Healthcare worker (HCW) should serve as role models in the community, raising NCD prevention knowledge and encouraging patients to adopt a healthier lifestyle. The Objective to the study to access the prevalence of non-communicable disease among healthcare workers. A cross sectional study was conducted in Johor state public health division with secondary data source from health screening of HCW from 2021. A total of 123 subjects participated in the study. Based on BMI calculation 26% were categorized normal, 42% were overweight and 30% were obese. Correlation and univariate analysis were conducted on BMI and blood screening. The results show a significant relationship between BMI towards Total Cholesterol and Fasting blood sugar level among HCW (P value <0.01). The high prevalence of NCD risk factors and their significant association necessitate an appropriate risk-reduction strategy to reduce the possibility of chronic illness among them.

Six patients were identified as positive. During audits of multiple evacuation centres, few concerns were found. There was no sufficient ventilation, there was no distribution of face masks to victims, and there were no daily health checks. COVID-19 preventive measures in all evacuation centres need to be practiced and given attention by all occupants and agencies.</p>
