“…The public sector in Malaysia is characterised by hierarchy, vertical career structure and a strong emphasis on technical experience. Males dominate at the mid to senior levels in public sector organisations (Azmi et al, 2011). It is estimated that women at the decision making level in public sector organisations account for between 15 and 20 per cent of the manager population.…”

Purpose – This paper aims to examine the relationships between networking behaviours objective and subjective career success, and the moderating role of gender on these relationships among Malaysian public sector managers. Design/methodology/approach – The study utilised a cross-sectional design and surveyed 288 randomly selected public sector managers who were employed full-time. Findings – Increasing internal visibility was the only form of networking that related to both monthly gross incomes and subjective career success. Gender did not moderate the relationships between networking behaviours and the career success measures. Research limitations/implications – The public sector and cultural contexts of the study may limit the generalisability of the findings. However, the paper did find that the measures used were appropriate and valid. Practical implications – The study highlights the importance of internal networking and the value of training managers in networking skills. Originality/value – The study contributes to the emerging literature on the career success of managers in non-Western countries.

Currently, the community must make adjustments to the new conditions that are being faced. People have started adaptation by implementing new life habits called "new normal life". The urgency of saving in the face of the new normal is very important to help the recovery and growth of the Indonesian economy. In a public health emergency, people are more willing to save money than spend it, which is not conducive to economic development and recovery. Our research will provide advice on how to have a better understanding of financial behavior during a pandemic. This analysis aims to provide good knowledge of financial behavior during an emergency. Using a qualitative research approach, this study seeks to uncover what motivates women to save amid the limitations and obstacles they face. The results of the study found that there are three motivations behind women working formally to save. The first motivation is Children Education which explains that in the provision of part of the income they have is to prepare for the costs of children's education. The second is emergencies which state that something that prompts to make allowances is to prepare costs for unexpected needs that cannot be controlled or controlled by humans. The third is related to religiosity, namely the need to perform the pilgrimage.

“…In any part of the world, Muslim women are, largely, in good health and optimum education, and at an equal level with men (Offenhauer, 2005, p. 93). In the Indonesian context, studies by Qibtiyah (2009), Parvanova (2012) and Azmi, Ismail, and Basir (2014) suggest a stage of advancement in which women and men have an equal access to education and career paths, and successfully collaborate with each other in professional roles. Nurlaelawati and Salim (2013) found that the Indonesian bureaucracy has applied relevant policies and made available facilities to make sure that Muslim women justly take part in making decisions.…”

This article reports on teacher trainees’ ability in doing a critical analysis of an extract of English teaching materials from a gender perspective. The critical ability was prompted using a textbook extract that generated two gender issues, namely woman-man relationship and the position of women in occupational discourse. The participants were 38 trainees enrolled in textbook analysis subject in the English Department of a college in regional Indonesia. The research data were the trainees’ results of the mid-term test, designed with explicit instruction to ascertain the afore-mentioned critical elements, and their results of the final exam with implied instruction to discern the same critical elements. The data were analysed qualitatively by interpreting the participants’ responses based on their degree of criticality. The mid-term test results show that more than half of them were critical about woman-man relationship, while only 18% were critical about women position at work. The trainees’ results in the final test demonstrate a significant downturn of their critical thinking performances. Only 15% criticized woman-man relationship and 13% problematized women position at work. These findings raise concerns about the trainees’ level of criticality and so systematic efforts to sharpen trainees’ critical analytical ability should be further attempted.
