“…Effective time management techniques have been proven to help students cope with anxiety and stress (Akintayo, Adetunji, Ayantunji, & Olaniyan, 2020). Students who utilize time management techniques will have better control of their ODL (Khairuddin, Arif, & Khairuddin, 2020). Another important element in the internal factor domain is the attitude of the students.…”

The year 2020 has changed the world of education intensely with the distinctive rise of online distance learning (ODL), whereby teaching and learning are undertaken remotely and on digital platforms. Driven by both the pandemic and advancements in digital technologies, the new norm of online learning continues to persist post-pandemic. Therefore, this paper explored the extent of ODL challenges faced by semester 5 business students in one of the public universities in Malaysia. Their perception of internal and external challenges namely time management, attitude, self-esteem, internet connection, socioeconomic and non-conducive environment will be examined. By using non-probability sampling, data were gathered from a total of 110 semesters 5 business students from 9 courses in the Faculty of Business and Management. The findings of this study revealed that internal challenges domain (time management, attitude, self-esteem) affect students the most in ODL. Consequently, the result of this study is hoped to help the education community prepare for a hybrid and flexible learning system as recently announced by the Malaysia Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE).

“…In the context of ODL, online learning is by far the most common approach in many higher education institutes (HEIs). Although online learning being an emerging trend to access quality education or a platform that provides educational aids and opportunities amidst the pandemic, the issues of 'digital divide' among the students are seen as a barrier to their online learning experience (Khairuddin et al, 2020). Even though most HEIs have taken the initiative to enhance students' learning experience, Khan and Jawaid (2020) have raised their concerns on its limitation since the cost is much higher to ensure a feasible and fair access to education.…”

The term 'online learning' has been widely discussed as the pandemic COVID-19 pushed all institutes of higher education to opt for the new norm in teaching and learning delivery. In this testing time, much has yet to be uncovered about how students respond towards the new norm in teaching and learning during the pandemic and one of the student factors is their readiness. Against such a backdrop, this study sought to investigate a group of postgraduates' learning readiness towards online learning. Three readiness constructs namely a) learning preference towards online learning, b) self-directedness towards online learning and c) technology skills and computer equipment capabilities were explored in determining the respondents' level of readiness. Employing a quantitative research design, a set of questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale was adapted from previous research for data collection. The questionnaire was distributed via online to postgraduate students (n = 140) at one faculty in a selected higher education institution in Malaysia. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and the mean scores for each construct were determined. The findings reveal the respondents' level of learning readiness in each of the construct. Despite high levels were determined on the first two constructs of readiness, the level identified for the respondents' computer equipment capabilities highlights varying degree of online learning readiness amongst the postgraduates. These findings and their implications could assist educational stakeholders and policymakers in ensuring online learning could be leveraged effectively among postgraduates as there are evidences pointing towards the need for technical skills and support.

Given the significance of social relations in the workplace and drawing from social exchange theory, the present study seeks to examine the association between personal interaction with concern for team members by identifying preference for teamwork and co-worker support (CWS) mediating the relationship.Design/methodology/approachThe data of 261 collected from employees working in varying public and private sector Indian enterprises were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis, Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) and Hayes PROCESS macro to investigate the multiple mediation analysis.FindingsThe findings showed a positive relationship between personal interaction and concern for the team member, which elaborates that increasing personal interaction among employees tends to display concern for their team members. Moreover, teamwork preference and CWS mediated the relationship, demonstrating that preferring teamwork and receiving support from co-workers, the propensity to concern for team members is influenced by personal interaction.Practical implicationsThis research pinpoints how personal interaction among members may develop a feeling of belongingness, leading to concern for their team members. With the inclusion of employees in teamwork and creating a cordial work environment, employees prefer working in groups and teams; they may feel responsible for their group and its members, ultimately helping improve the organization's human capital.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the employee and organizational development by unveiling how employees may develop cordial social relationships through personal interaction, preferring teamwork and CWS.
