    Technopreneurship in Small Businesses for Sustainability, 2024
    This study investigates the mediating Role of entrepreneurial intention on the relationship between entrepreneurship education and self-employment in north-eastern Nigeria. The survey was disseminated using an online data collection app, KoBotoolbox, and the sample was derived using a judgmental sampling technique. The authors invited 876 graduates who enrolled in the entrepreneurship program at ten universities in the North-eastern and north-western regions of Nigeria to participate in the study. Valid responses were analyzed using PLS-SEM version 4 software to determine the measurement and structural model. The study findings provide empirical evidence that there is a significant influence of entrepreneurship course contents on entrepreneurial intentions and self-employment. However, no relationship was found between the program delivery method and the intention and self-employment. The study is confined to the two regions mentioned above in Nigeria. It is recommended that the feature study cover more regions to generalize the research findings.

  • Individual Differences as Determinants of Graduate Employability in Brunei Darussalam
    Hartini Mashod, Kabiru Maitama Kura
    Insights into International Higher Education Leadership and the Skills Gap, 2024
    Increasing interests on the notion of graduate employability has led to various predictors that would increase chances of employment for job seeking graduates. However, very little is known about the influence of individual determinants that may play a crucial role in enhancing their employability. Therefore, the present study aimed to explore the influence of gender, age and education on graduate employability. A cross-sectional, quantitative methodological approach was undertaken to examine the relationship between demographic factors and graduate employability. Data were collected from a sample of 324 graduates in Brunei that are registered in JobCentre Brunei. This study used parametric technique (i.e., ANOVA) to analyse the data collected. The findings indicated that there was a significant positive relationship between education and graduate employability. Meanwhile, no significant link was found for the effect of gender and age on employability among graduates. These data support existing studies that found significant role of education on graduate employability; the higher educational background obtained, the stronger employability belief one has, which would have a possible ripple effect on their job search behaviour. Furthermore, the contradicting findings found for effect of gender and age also provide a novel contribution to existing literature. Specifically, this result might be due to the contextual settings of which this study is conducted. The findings reflect a labour market in which job searchers believe their employability is determined by their competences and capabilities, rather than their gender or age.
  • Residents' Attitudes, Behaviour, and Willingness to Recycle E-waste in Brunei Darussalam
    Rusydina Idris, Shahriar Shams, Kabiru Maitama Kura, Ismawi Yusof
    Iop Conference Series Earth and Environmental Science, 2024
    Today, the electronics industry is the largest and fastest-growing manufacturing sector in the world. The rapid expansion of this industry coupled with the brief product lifespan generates an enormous amount of e-waste. Increasing amounts of waste from the electronics industry pose a significant problem for many lower-middle income nations today. For proper disposal and routing of e-waste, consumer cognizance plays a crucial role in directing e-waste to its authorised collection centres and authorised recyclers. Financial constraints, inadequate storage facilities and information on e-waste, lack of awareness on the impacts of e-waste, the absence of rules and regulations, and the lack of an appropriate description of roles and responsibilities pertaining to e-waste management, among other factors, may be impeding e-waste management. In this research, a primary survey is conducted to determine consumers’ awareness and preferences regarding the disposal of electronic waste. The survey was conducted in Brunei Darussalam with 351 consumers using a structured questionnaire. This survey questionnaire’s demographic profile includes gender, age group, employment status, household size, and income range. Knowledge of e-waste, awareness of e-waste, willingness to recycle, and consumer preference regarding the appropriate disposal and management of e-waste were identified using exploratory factor analysis. The study reveals that 57.3% of respondents comprehend the definition of e-waste, with 89.9% of respondents using a mobile phone daily and 86.6% using a computer daily. 58.1% of respondents do not know what to do with their e-waste, so the majority retain it at home. The primary concern regarding e-waste disposal is a lack of knowledge about recycling facilities. Approximately 66% of respondents are willing to pay between BND $ 1 - 10 for the disposal or recycling of e-waste, and 38% are willing to travel between 1 and 5 kilometers for disposal or recycling. 76% of respondents concurred that the government should subsidise e-waste disposal. By comprehending attitudes, behaviour, and willingness to recycle e-waste, a comprehensive e-waste management policy can be formulated.

  • Mediating effect of organisational innovation in the prediction of change-oriented leadership on organisational performance
    Amer Ahmad AlAnazi, Kabiru Maitama Kura, Ebi Shahrin Suleiman, Ramatu Abdulkareem Abubakar
    International Journal of Innovation Science, 2022
    Purpose To address this question, this study aims to drew from resource-based view to examine the mediating role organisational innovation in the relationship between change-oriented leadership and organisational performance. Design/methodology/approach Given that the unit of analysis is an organisation, 219 principal officers, including Presidents/Rectors, Vice Presidents/Vice-Rectors, Registrars and Deans, were invited to complete the survey on behalf of their universities. Findings Results of the partial least squares structural equation modelling confirmed the positive relationship between change-oriented leadership and university performance. The results provide evidence that organisational innovation directly facilitates university performance. As expected, the relationship between change-oriented leadership and university performance was found to be mediated by organisational innovation. Practical implications Overall, this study successfully modelled organisational innovation as an underlying mechanism behind the change-oriented leadership – university performance relationship, thereby by testing resource-based theory in Saudi Arabian context. From a practical perspective, results suggest that to improve their performance is imperative for executive leaders in Saudi universities to focus on several specific work design strategies, obtaining feedback about their change-oriented leadership style from followers. Originality/value Whilst there has been a considerable amount of research emphasising the importance of change-oriented leadership, there has been little research linking this fundamental aspect of leadership to organisational performance. Yet an understanding of the possible mechanisms behind this linkage has not received attention.
  • Exploratory study on user satisfaction of E-HRM: Evidence from Brunei government employee management system (GEMS)
    Fahmi Ibrahim, Hazimah Suhip, Kabiru Maitama Kura, Liana H. M. Noor
    Handbook of Research on Developing Circular Digital and Green Economies in Asia, 2022
    With the high demands to provide service quality, growing workforce, and globalization of economy, HR has transformed into an inevitable power of technology that transforms HRM into electronic human resource management (E-HRM) systems. Brunei Darussalam without exception is also practicing E-HRM in the government sector called government employee management system (GEMS). This chapter investigates the user satisfaction of E-HRM by examining the current status of GEMS in Brunei Darussalam. The user satisfaction was studied through seven elements: the implementation of E-HRM, training, user-friendliness, infrastructure, data security, technical support, and user support. Qualitative interview and descriptive quantitative method were conducted on HR officers from the public organization. Findings revealed that the GEMS are not able to provide satisfactory system. This chapter has developed a theoretical framework as a recommendation to integrate relevant elements, together with the influence of age, gender, and years of service that impact user satisfaction.
