“…Further, a structured interview can be easily repeated to check the reliability of the data, and a trained interviewer is present to answer any questions the interviewee has. Structured interviews offer a richer, more comprehensive view of an issue than a questionnaire survey does, and respondents can give more detailed responses [33]. The respondents were from major oil and gas companies operating in Malaysia.…”

Poor performance measurement practices in the oil and gas industry can cause project cost overruns, schedule delays, and scope increases. Earned value management, as an integrated project planning and control method measuring cost and schedule performance, enables the early detection of performance issues, and allows corrective actions to be implemented in a timely manner. Through a structured interview survey, this study aimed to identify the current maturity level of earned value management practice in Malaysian oil and gas firms to determine the barriers hindering the use of this practice, and to identify critical success factors for enhancing earned value management implementation in the oil and gas industry. The findings revealed the m a j o r barriers to earned value management implementation, and potential strategies to improve the effectiveness of earned value management practice in this industry.

Eco-fashion clothes offer considerable promise to reduce clothing waste associated with improving consumer profits and the health of the community. The aim of this paper is to explore the consumer purchase behaviour toward Eco-fashion clothes made of recycled materials. The clothing waste is increasing each year and there is a lack of landfill sites for disposing of them. This resulted in governments encourage industries markets to recycle more. However, it is necessary to support the clothing recycling technology program, and the achievement of those markets depends on consumer demand for these products. Hence, understanding consumer behaviour toward Eco-fashion clothes made of recycled materials can provide a basis to develop effective guidelines for disposal and purchase recycled clothes. This study applied the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) as the foundation of the consumer’s behaviour. A two-stage mixed-method approach was explored. Statistical analysis was commenced through direct logistic regression. The model was tested via structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Overall, findings reveal that the most significant factor on purchase intention of Eco-fashion clothes is the positive attitude which was followed by the perceived behavioural control and then subjective norms on the construct intention. Furthermore, there is a strong connection to sustainable disposal clothing behaviour and purchase behaviour toward Eco-fashion clothes. Hence, strengthening people attitude in order to purchase Eco-fashion clothes made of recycled contents as a sustainable trend is applicable to help reduction of clothing waste. This happens when people’s need is along with these clothes. The implications of this study can be examined from an educational and managerial perspective to form an effective strategy to encourage an increased rate in the disposal of clothing toward recycling and development policies to improve recycling technology programs. Therefore, it can lead to produce clothes made of recycled materials based on the consumer's needs and distribute them in the fashion market

“…Authors have addressed a number of topics, such as the impact of survey responses on measure interpretation (Brooks, 2004), issues with data collection (Brudney and Gazley, 2006;Rooney, Steinberg, and Schervich, 2004), and alternative methods of data collection (Markham and Couldry, 2007;Hager, Wilson, Pollak, and Rooney, 2003;Kennedy and Vargus, 2001). Since survey research plays such an important role in nonprofit data collection efforts, it is incumbent on authors to ensure that their instruments are valid proxies for the phenomena they intend to measure.…”
