    Development Of Procurement For Malaysian Housing Projects Using Industrialised Building Systems
    (2018-12)
    Abd Jalil, Ahmad
    The increasing demands for housing had led the government to enforce IBS, which should transform into better quality, economical and faster to construct. However, these were hard to achieve due to barriers such as supply chain, shortages skill labours, logistic constraint and high investment. Previous researches covered these issues but lacking on procurement aspect. Many agreed current procurements not suitable for IBS housing, thus caused design errors, disruption on components fabrication, less coordination, installation defects and disputes on payment, warranty and liability. To discover more, this research focused on procurement in IBS housing projects with the objectives to determine the procurement challenges and suggest their solutions; to investigate the stakeholders’ perceptions towards producing better procurement; and to propose new procurement that effective for IBS housing.

    The Properties Of High Performance Concrete Containing Granite Quarry Dust (Gqd) And Electric Arc Furnace Slag (Eafs) As Aggregates
    (2019-08)
    Lim, Jay Sern
    The utilization of industry by-product as the raw bulk replacement material has been emphasized to reduce the carbon footprint contributed from the concrete industry. This study was aimed to examine the optimum natural river sand-granite quarry dust (NRS-GQD) composition in ground granulated blast-furnace slag-pulverized fly ash (GGBS-PFA) ternary blended mortar. In addition, the influence of electric arc furnace slag (EAFS) as natural granite rock (NGR) replacement material towards the concrete properties and strutural responses in the manner of concrete slab panel subjected to four-points bending load in GGBS-PFA ternary blended binder system and optimum NRS-GQD composition as fine aggregate. The results showed that the inclusion of GQD as NRS replacement material at 60% in GGBS-PFA ternary blended mortar yielded the optimum mechanical strength. Moreover, the inclusion of EAFS tends to enhance the compressive strength of GGBS-PFA ternary blended concrete from 1.9% to 18.7% at 28 days onwards. The results also showed that there is a significant improvement in air, chloride and sulfate impermeability properties of the GGBS-PFA ternary blended concrete with the inclusion of EAFS as NGR replacement material. However, the inclusion of EAFS as NGR replacement material tends to impair the water absorption, capillary absorptivity and total porosity properties of the GGBS-PFA ternary blended concrete. The utilization of EAFS also reported enhanced the first and ultimate crack load also the stiffness of the concrete slab panel.

    Influence Of Organizational Factors And Demographic Variables On Job Satisfaction Among Hotel Employees In Bangladesh
    (2019-02)
    Akter, Afroza
    The present study aims to examine the relationship between organizational factors, demographic variables and employee job satisfaction of hotel employees in Bangladesh. This study followed cross-sectional research design in which questionnaire survey method was employed to collect data. Data for this study included the perceptions of hotel employees of Bangladesh on the relationship among organizational factors (salary, job security, promotion opportunity, working condition, recognition and training and development), demographic variables (Age, gender, marital status and education) and employee job satisfaction. The population of the study comprised of all the non-managerial employees working in the 3 star, 4 star and 5-star hotel in Bangladesh. The sample was taken using judgmental sampling technique, a part of the purposive sampling of non-probability sampling design, because of the lack of a complete list of employees. A total of 315 useable questionnaires were found with a response rate of 45%. Partial Least Square (PLS) second generation structural equation modeling (SEM) software was employed to test the hypothesized relationship. The result of the present study revealed that five dimensions of organizational factors have positive significant relationship with employee job satisfaction whereas, one dimension of organizational factor such as, training and development were not related with employee job satisfaction. Again, the result of the analysis showed that none of the demographic variables have significant relationship with employee job satisfaction. Finally, the present study provides several implications and recommendations to existing hotel managers, owners and leaders, aiming to improve their efforts in enhancing employee satisfaction.

    Guna Ruang Pentadbiran Pada Balai Undang Adat Perpatih Di Negeri Sembilan
    (2018)
    Ghafar, Faridzwan Abdul
    Balai Undan g adalah bangunan P embesar Memerintah bagi Negeri Sembilan dikenali sebagai Undang. Balai Undang adalah sebahagian institusi Undang mengikut Adat Melayu Negeri Sembilan. Balai Undang berperanan sebagai bangunan pentadbiran, mahkamah, tempat pertemuan dan perundingan serta dewan persidangan Pembesar Memerintah bagi Negeri Sembilan . C ampur tangan pentadbiran British dan pemodenan sejak abad ke - 19 mengubah p eranan ruang pada Balai Undang Adat Perpatih . Selepas perubahan yang berlaku, guna ruang pada Balai Undang tidak pernah didokumen, menyebabkan Balai Undang terdedah kepada kesilapan guna ruang mengikut Adat Perpatih. Kajian ini menumpukan h ubungan antara g una ruang pada Balai Undang dengan undang - undang moden mengenai Undang Yang Empat seperti yang termaktub dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan dan Undang - undang Tubuh Kerajaan Negeri Sembilan 1959. K ajia n ini mengkaji ruang pada Balai Undang Adat Perpatih di Negeri Sembilan , mengkategorikan ruang penting mengikut Adat Perpatih pada Balai Undang dan membangunkan garis panduan pembangunan ruang pentadbiran Bal ai Undang Adat Perpatih di Negeri Sembilan. Penyelidikan dilaksanakan menggunakan kaedah etnografi terhadap tiga Balai Undang Adat Perpatih yang dipilih . P enyelidikan ini menggunakan gabungan kaedah meneliti kajian literatur dan kajian kes sebagai pendekata n utama dan dibantu dengan
