Similar to commercial entities, NPOs need to show that they are efficiently managed and performing in a desired manner in order to fulfil their responsibility to diverse stakeholders. This study aims to develop a novel performance management framework (PMF) that would enable improved oversight and governance of NPOs in Malaysia, as well as other non-profit organisations, such as waqf institutions. This study used a systematic literature review (SLR) methodology, and 20 peer-reviewed papers that were recently published in reputable journals were used. The results of this study confirm that the proposed PMF can efficiently manage and monitor the performance of NPOs, which can be crucial for ensuring the sustainability of the existing non-profit institutions in Malaysia. The findings of this study will provide important dimensions regarding the significance of an efficient performance management framework for NPOs generally, and particularly for Islamic social institutions like waqf/endowment institutions.

This paper attempts to analyse the investment behaviour in the retail green sukuk (RGS) issued by the Indonesian government. The research framework is based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), while the Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS) was employed as a research method. Online questionnaires were distributed to potential retail investors. A total of 113 respondents met the requirements and were used as the sample in this research. The findings show that decision to invest in RGS is influenced by intention and perceived behavioural control (PBC). Meanwhile, attitude and subjective norms have significant influence on the intention to invest in the RGS. Attitude is found as the strongest predictor of intention and is influenced by knowledge about RGS, environmental awareness and religiosity. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the government should intensify campaigns about sukuk and green issues. The promotion of RGS should be targeted to the religious individual/community with sufficient literacy of sukuk and awareness of the green issues.

The operation of non-profit organisations (NPOs) in the era of digitalisation has changed their traditional ways in acquiring funds. The NPOs are much related to behaving like charitable and social organisations. In the era of digitalisation, many NPOs in Malaysia adopt Islamic social finance instruments and Islamic crowdfunding platform to fund their projects and operations. Despite their noble act to help the underprivileged community and their humanitarian efforts, issues may arise regarding their transparency, reporting and governance of the organisation. Hence, the objective of this study is to examine the current issues and challenges of NPOs in Malaysia. This study also highlights the importance of effective governance on organization’s performance, transparency and accountability in the NPOs. This study offers significant insights to highlight the importance of establishing a specific Shariah governance framework for the NPOs especially those organisations adopting Islamic crowdfunding platform and Islamic social finance initiatives. Policy implication such as the Shariah governance arrangement for these NPOs is crucially important since the fund contributors may require transparent disclosure on the utilisation of funds specifically those adopting Islamic instruments.

This article serves as an introduction to a special issue on theorizing macro-level instability and the experience of workers. Job stability is threatened by turbulence, which includes factors such as the economy, politics, society, technology, and the environment. Human resource management, in our opinion, aids businesses and their staffs in weathering economic and political storms. We suggest a new role, the Proactive Career, to situate and expand the HR function in contemporary businesses based on the contributions to this Special Issue. The debates around human resources (HR) and HR professionals have been too narrow and focused on the domestic scene. It's time to make this role more outside focused, with responsibilities including keeping an eye on the big picture for key events, forecasting staffing changes, and coming up with solutions to blunt their impact. We conclude with several suggestions for further study.

This research examines how the Jungian concept of the return of the ego to the unconscious in the form of selfless devotion to the beloved “anima” and “animus”, reflects itself in the life of two literary muses of the twentieth century modern literature; namely, Olga Ivinskaya, the poet, translator and beloved who inspired the character Lara in Boris Pasternak’s Doctor Zhivago (1957), and Milena Jesenská, a journalist, writer, translator and Franz Kafka’s confidante in his Letters to Milena (1952). This paper reads these two literary muses through the lens of Archetypal Psychological Criticism, and argues that the path of the divine feminine archetype, the two muses chose to embark on, necessitated a form of self-sacrifice that would bring about the sacred marriage of the “anima” and “animus” on a soul level.

In every country, the most pressing problem is the unreliability of public transit. Every person has some kind of link to the transportation industry. They would want to reduce the negative effects of travel on their wellbeing, efficiency, and personal time management. The impact of this problem has been mitigated, in part, by technological advancements in the transportation sector. Robotic process automation RPA facilitates logistics operations by aiding with order routing, automated reporting, freight management, driver feedback, improved decision making, increased precision in inventory management, automated tracking to reduce checking transport calls, shipment scheduling, tracking, invoicing, and procurement management. Automation of routine tasks by robots and other forms of AI have made it possible to manage or at least lessen the impact of such problems. Robotic process automation could help airlines fix their transportation problems. Robotic process automation (RPA) might help the airline transportation business in a number of ways, including the development of departmental work packages, the recovery of the file from previous systems, the notification of passengers, the management of data, and the scheduling of personnel. Stages of robotic process automation may have applications in the transportation sector and contribute to the development of smart cities more generally. This research will analyze how robotic process automation RPA may be used to enhance smart city logistics, transportation, and supply chain management.

The placement of a logistics center is an important consideration for companies that conduct supply chain and shipment operations. It entails determining the best geographical location that will efficiently service the organization's transportation and storage needs. The site of a logistics center is chosen after a thorough examination of many examinations of market reach of transportation networks, labour availability, infrastructure, cost variables, and risk evaluation. Making a sound choice about the location of the logistics center can lead to increased supply chain efficiency, lower costs, and better customer service. Site selection entails weighing the benefits of various locations against the requirements of a new project. The site selection procedure involves a thorough assessment of the project's requirements, which are then compared to the advantages of alternative locations. The procedure normally entails choosing and assessing communities, analysing and buying real estate sites, and maybe negotiating tax benefits. Site selection consultants will consider the number and movement patterns of cars and pedestrians when deciding on new locations for retail stores, chain restaurants, and fast-food franchises. The greatest employees are hard to find and keep, and many are quite particular about where they work to achieve the ideal work-life balance. A company's performance over the long run can be considerably improved by wise location choices. Poor ones can cost millions in lost capital, talent, and production. The DEMATEL methodology is often used to identify the selection of logistics center locations.

The main aim of the present paper is to shed light on E. D. Hirsch’s hermeneutic theory and apply it on Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises (1926). According to Hirsch, the meaning of a literary work is absolute; it is not changeable. It is identical with whatever the author has in mind during the time of writing. He doesn’t deny, however, that the readers cannot always have access to the author’s intended meaning, but they can at least try to do so. Hirsch differentiates between meaning and consciousness of meaning; it is not possible to mean what one does not mean, but it is very possible to mean what one is not conscious of meaning. Hirsch does not deny that the meaning may change, but this is a matter of the work’s significance, rather than its meaning. The researcher argues that Hemingway’s novel can illustrate all Hirsch’s critical views about the meaning of the literary work and attempts, accordingly, to provide a textual analysis that supports the validity of such views. By the end, neither the reader, nor the critic, can usurp the author’s position because doing such a thing may eliminate the only compelling principle to achieve validity of interpretation.

Credit risk is a challenge facing the banking sector. The problem of asymmetric information causes credit markets to function inefficiently. In the short term, delinquency problems cause liquidity problems, and in the long term, in the absence of contingent credit lines, this problem can become a solvency problem, which can ultimately lead to the liquidation of the institution. The research team in Huaraz, Peru, set out to determine the impact of delinquency on the quality of the microenterprise bank’s portfolio. S/. 4,024,000,000,000 in outstanding loans (including contingent loans) of the microenterprise bank represent 3.32% of all bank loans and 27.8% of all bank loans to small and microenterprises. The performing portfolio of the Huaraz branch went from S/39 176 573 in 2020 to S/44 708 395 in 2022, an increase of 14.1 percent, while the portfolio at risk went from S/3 472 347 in 2021 to S/4 588 202 in 2022, an increase of 43.55. What is the correlation between delinquency and portfolio quality in Mibanco Peru? Is the general question that motivates this study. The study was explanatory in nature; data were collected from BANTOTAL reports (Mibanco’s nationwide reporting system) and analyzed in SPSS and Excel to reveal trends in delinquency and portfolio quality over a 24-month period. The study revealed that delinquency in the Mibanco—Huaraz Agency actually improves portfolio quality.
