It is seen as a moral obligation and includes supporting the consistency of the law and showing ethical guidance. Corporate governance is seen as an important tool for the financial performance of companies, and investor investment decisions have become a more serious topic, so the relationship between corporate governance tools and measurement of financial performance has attracted researchers' interest in the past decade mainly in developed and developing cities. In this study, we attempted to examine the impact of corporate governance on corporate financial performance in Kuala Lumpur using a sample of 215 companies on KLSE. Like previous research, firm, age, firm size, board size, CEO duality, board composition, board committees is the independent variables and their influence is to measure the financial ROA, ROE and Tobin's q , all kinds of test is used to investigate the relationship such as descriptive analysis, Pearson moment related test and regression using first data over a period of time.

It's mostly small-scale operations that rely on local resources and conventional skills, with low upfront costs and quick returns. However, due to a lack of new technologies, infrastructure, and knowledge transfer, the industry might not be thriving right now. The aim of this research is to evaluate the current roles, challenges, and gaps in Perak's CI. This study was carried out via face-to-face interview on 10 stakeholders from different agencies. This study shows a number of factors affect a community's socioeconomic development and CI business. Internal and external factors, such as interest and self-motivation, as well as the positions of various organisations, as well as family and community support, all contribute to this.

Limited employment opportunities and smaller profit from rural specific economic activities such as agriculture caused lower incomes to the local community. It is also very often that Agri-food products is undervaluation and not able to reach out outside market. This economic gaps between regions has resulted in several cases of outward migration flows of rural populations and land abandonment, which possibly brings major risk to the future of rural growth and sustainability. As reinforced by the needs to address the gaps and demands of the local community, therefore, this study was carried out to investigate the socio-economic demands and challenges of the local population in Temerloh, Pahang to recommend relevant assistance and interventions required. Findings from this study will provide important inputs that will suffice relevant literatures for the stakeholders to plan for a better socio-economic development in Malaysia. In general, the overall results of this study reveal the gaps faced by the community in the District of Temerloh in the context of social and economy. This study was carried out via a structured survey throughout the district involving 300 respondents and also complemented with a face-to-face interview carried out with key stakeholders.

The energy sector has a unique role to play in global CSR efforts because of the size of the firms within that industry, the impact on the environment, and the operational risks that come with energy production. Previous research has been conducted on the relationship between CSR engagement and financial performancein various contexts, but this research has shown mixed outcomes– in some cases there is a positive relationship between CSR and performance while in other studies the research is non-existent or marginal. Thus, the research question for this study addresses a significant gap in the understanding of this topic by exploring the relationship between CSR and firm performance in a contextualized setting of the energy sector. The dependent variable was a series of three financial metrics –returnon assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE), and EBITDA. This study looked into convenience sampling method and the population in this study was employees who were currently employed in an energy sector company in Malaysia.

Due to their size, environmental implications, and the operational risks associated with energy production, the energy sector has a unique role to play with worldwide CSR efforts. Earlier research on the relationship between CSR engagement and financial performance has been conducted in various contexts. However, the results of these investigations have been mixed, with some positive CSR-performance relationships, while in other studies, research is either non-existent or marginal. The question of research for this research thus addresses a considerable gap in understanding this topic in the contextualization of the energy sector through an analysis of the relationship between CSR and firm performance. A series of three financial parameters – asset return, equity return, and EBITDA – were the dependent variable. In this study, the population who are presently working in a company of the energy sector in Malaysia examines the sampling methodology. There is a total of 30 listed companies, which were in the "Energy" sector, based on Bursa Malaysia's official websites. For the subsection, two categories are included, namely: (1) Energy, Equipment, and Gas, and (2) Oil & Gas. The random selection will include two companies from each subcategory from the complete list. In detail, 100 respondents from each company will be selected randomly for the study.

These undertakings will more likely provide several important ideas that would suffice related and relevant literatures, which will be used for the creation of better socioeconomic growth in Malaysia. The passage from under-development to development means that several interrelated processes occur simultaneously. In an economic sense, development entails the transformation of simple subsistence economies into complex monetary economies. In the process, an increase in the proportion of products that is sold or exchanged and a decline in the proportion of consumption may take place concurrently. The study was carried out to determine the socioeconomic demands and gaps of the local population and suggest assistance and interventions required. The overall results of this study reveal the challenges faced at the community level in the District of Bentong in the context of social and economy. This study was carried out via a structured survey throughout the district involving 300 respondents and also complemented with a Focus Group Discussion carried out with key stakeholders. The study findings were also supported with secondary data compilation of journals, articles and speeches.

Yet very little literature deals specifically with how company success is affected by the procurement activities of companies. In fact, most of the papers reviewed on procurement activities are qualitative rather than empirical in nature. As a result, several businesses are starting to pursue further aspects of business-performing procurement activities. Against this backdrop, this work aims to fill this vacuum by performing empirical case studies at 28 companies operating in the worst ever chaotic climate in the world. The results of this research study attempt to determine the interconnection between the procurement practices of companies and business performance related to the seven trust attributes (commitment; openness; integrity, proximity, competence; reliability and security).

This study aims to identify the relationship between mode of working and team success in telecommunications companies. This study also aims to clarify whether the team size has a significant impact on the relationship between working mode with the team success. One hundred and twenty Cyberjaya based support professionals have completed web-based surveys, offering data on support operations in virtual and face-to-face settings, and the team success in all settings. The results showed a correlation between working mode and three factors of support team success (rpb = 0,358 and 0,248; 0,395, respectively for achievement objectives, customer satisfaction and team health.
