Abstract

Internal Marketing Practices and Employees’ Job Satisfaction: Moderating the Effects of Gender, Age, and Income

Internal marketing necessitates organization to deliver continuous positive customer experiences in alignment with the organizational goal by aligning, motivating and empowering employees’ at all functional levels. Internal marketing involves the task of successful recruitment, training and motivating capable employees to serve the customers. The employees should be considered as internal customers and needed to be kept as relevant as the external customers. Demographic features of the employees such as gender, age, tenure, income have prominent roles in satisfying the job. The present research investigates the moderating effect of gender, age and income on the impact of internal marketing practices and employees' job satisfaction in the oil and gas industry. Internal marketing factors like the extrinsic reward, internal communication, and training and development were highly emphasized by male employees while females are more prone to be concerned about leadership. Next, age differences between younger and older employees revealed a significant result. The first group stressed on the extrinsic reward to satisfy themselves about the job they hold, while, the latter was concerned with leadership, training and development, and internal communication as a return for their willingness to continue their employment with the organization. With regards to the monthly income differences, the low-income group showed that their job satisfaction was driven by training and development, while the high-income group was profoundly dependant on leadership.

1 001-bki ASSOCIATION BETWEEN VEHICLE SEAT DYNAMICS AND RIDE COMFORT CRITERIA Amzar Azizan1 and Husna Padil1 Universiti Kuala Lumpur-Malaysian Institute of Aviation Technology Email: [email protected]

Abstract: The upfront prediction of subjective ride comfort involves the investigation ofvehicle seat structural dynamics coupled with the human body. Previous studies have indicatedfundamental seat resonance in the range of human sensitivity to external vibration which isbelow 100Hz. In our investigation, seat possesses three (lateral, fore/aft, twisting) mode shapes below 80Hz. Although many human vibration standards have created the subjective ride comfort criteria, however, they have been developed with dynamically rigid seats. It is therefore important to see if current standard test procedure is sufficient. Seventeen healthy volunteers have participated in the experiment. The experiment was carried out in the form of paired comparison tests. Volunteers were asked to compare different resonating ride segments with non-resonating ride segments in which measured frequency weighted R.M.S vibration intensity was kept constant. From this subjective survey, the results showed that the twisting mode has a higher level of discomfort perceived by volunteers even when the measured vibration magnitude was kept constant. It indicated that the method for ride comfort measurement according to the standard may need some improvements and must take into consideration the structural dynamics of the seat. This is due to current measurement systems' accelerometer locations and designs. This study aims to provide important quantitative data to improve current test standards in the field of whole-body vibration and ride comfort.

Abstract: Oxidized poly(acrylonitrile) fibers (OPF) upon thermal treatment of poly(acrylonitrile) has been achieved and has been used as raw material to produce carbon fibers. The influence of fibers on the mechanical properties of the composite of polymer matrix reinforced by fabric were analyzed in this study by using three types of advanced fibers. For this purpose, 13 composites of epoxy matrix reinforced by fabrics of carbon fiber, Kevlar and Glass fiber with OPF were prepared by manual padding of 4 layers with different arrangements. For the preparation of composite epoxy resin Bisphenol F and polyamine as a hardener were used with resin to fiber ratio of 60:40. The tensile properties and the fractured surface of the composite samples were studied. Results of the study showed that by increasing the ratio of OPF to carbon, to Kevlar and to Glass fabric, the tensile strength decreases but for the samples in which OPF is more than 50% the fracture strain is increased. The results of cross-sectional fracture showed that composite made with a carbon fiber fabric, Kevlar and Glass fabric with OPF have lateral, explosive and edge delamination failure mode occurs on the other hand by increasing the OPF content to composite transverse failure mode happens.

Abstract: Biopolyols have been synthesized from oil palm mesocarp fibre (PM) filler and used to produce polyurethane (PU) foams. This study determined the effects of PM filler on the performance of PU foam. A ‘one-step method’ technique is used to disperse the PM filler into component A of the PU foam precursor followed by mechanical mixing into component B and then the whole mixture is cast into an open cylindrical mould. Meanwhile, increasing filler percentage (1%-9%) on oil palm mesocarp fibre filled rigid foams (PMF1 – PMF9) have shown dramatic enhancements in physical, thermal and mechanical properties over the neat PMF without compromising foaming kinetic, density, porosity, and processibility. The compressive strength of PU foams slightly increase when increasing the filler content. TGA result indicated that oil palm mesocarp fibre filled rigid foams displayed



19

roughly the almost same thermal stabilities and thermal degradation temperature were increased at three different decomposition stages as neat PMF. In addition, fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis revealed that the incorporation with PM filler did not disrupt the polyurethane chemistry.

4 007-bki PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF INJECTION MOLDING FOR WASTE POLYPROPYLENE RICE HUSK COMPOSITE (WPC) UPON WATER ABSORPTION AND UV IRRADIATION EXPOSSURE Ahmad Shahrizan Syah,a, Anika Zafiah M.

Abstract: Wood Polymer Composites (WPCs) are combination of wood fiber and polymer matrix. Rice husk and Waste polypropylene were used in the fabrication of WPC samples. The fabrication of WPC samples from different composition ratio of rice husk and waste polypropylene was used by using injection molding machine. The predetermined parameters of injection molding process with temperatures setting are between 220°C to 50°C according to section part. The physical properties test was conducted on WPC samples. In this study, physical properties test conducted were water absorption, thickness swelling, and density and hardness tests. WPC samples undergo water absorption test with UV irradiation exposures in weatherometer at 32°C for 100,200,300,400 and 500 hours. Then, morphological test of WPC samples F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6 and F7 were done by using optical microscope to measure the different particle size of rice husk after treatment. The result shows the highest percentage of water absorption was F1 with 2.82% in which increased of rice husk content lead to increasing of water absorption rate. It directly affects the thickness of WPC sample with swelling value 1.94%. For density test, immersion time with UV irradiation exposures does not affect the density of WPCs samples where shows constant density value. As compared the composition ratio, F1 has highest density that revealed composition with high rice husk content in WPC samples lead to higher density values. Hardness value was decreasing respectively for all WPC samples due to increase of immersion hours. The highest hardness was F1 with 14.5kN and it shows the increased of rice husk content gives highest value of hardness.

Abstract: Virgin cooking oil is used as the main substances in producing biopolymer thin films with the reaction of methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) as the cross-linking agent with the ratio of 2:1 and addition of graphite with an increment of 2% through a slip casting method. The physical properties of the samples are observed using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). It is shown that the graphite particle is well mixed homogenously in the biopolymer matrix. Density tests were conducted on the specimens of graphite thin film. A material were float in water if the graphite higher and if the density of graphite is high, the material will be on the surface of the water and vice versa. The mechanical properties of graphite thin film are evaluated using Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) test.

Abstract: The main objective of this study was to investigate the sound absorption properties of rigid polyurethane foam (PU) produced from waste cooking oil derived polyol (WCOs) incorporated with Red Meranti fiber. The morphological structure of the foams is observed by using the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) while the measurement of sound absorption coefficient is achieved by using the Impedance Tube test. From the results, it proves that the presence of the Red Meranti filler has a major influence on the structure and acoustical properties of the foams. The Red Meranti percentage loading decreased the pore size of the foams which subsequently influenced the sound absorption coefficients (smallest pore diameter is PU-20 with 653.8 μm). The PU-20 foam has higher sound absorption coefficient values at lower frequencies with 0.2485 and 0.9888 at higher frequencies. The results obtained seem to suggest that the mechanisms involved in sound wave absorption depend on the formulation (percentage loading of filler) used to prepare the foams. Additionally higher percentage loading of filler improved the acoustic properties of PU. From this work the suitability WCOs derived polyol incorporated with Red Meranti as sound absorbing materials have been proven.

Abstract: A unique conformal H-shaped metal strip has been used to excite a rectangular dielectric resonator antenna (DRA). By using this proposed single feeding technique, a broadband circular polarization has been produced. A circular polarization bandwidth of ~17.6% and an impedance-matching bandwidth of ~21.6% with a useful overlap of ~14.4% has been achieved. The Computer simulation technology (CST), a 3D simulation tool has been used to design and simulate the antenna prototype. The design has been successfully built and simulated using Finite Integration Technique (FIT). The results of FIT has been validated by Finite Element Method (FEM) i.e. another simulation technique available in CST. A great resemblance between the results from FIT and FEM has been observed.

Abstract: Microgrid power system is becoming popular for utilizing renewable energy. This energy should invert to supply AC for microgrid, but inversion of the renewable energy has suffered some issues; inferior quality of waveform, large phase difference, high switching loss and poor power quality. A new scheme of phase synchronous inverter (PSI) has outline in the microgrid system which improve the quality of the power supply. A pulse width modulation (PWM) signal is generated for PSI to precisely synchronize with the grid line frequency. A lowpass LC filter is utilized to reduce the higher harmonics frequency in the inverter. In this research a resistive load of 40 Ω and input DC voltage ± 35 V has been considered. A PWM of 1600 Hz carrier frequency and 95% modulation index with 50 Hz fundamental frequency has been examined in this project. The simulated results show that the proposed PSI overall efficiency is 96%, total harmonic distortion (THD) is 3.9% and phase distortion is about 4 degrees. Therefore, it is highly appreciated that proposed design will improve the microgrid power supply system.

13 024-bki Comparison of VAT systems in Russia and China Olga Karpova1, Igor Mayburov2 1Ural Federal University; [email protected] 2Ural Federal University, Far Eastern Federal University; [email protected]

Abstract: This article analyzes the tax system in Russia and China, with the focus on the valueadded tax (VAT). Since Russian-Chinese integration processes are fast growing, the subject has gained currency. The trend towards closer cooperation is due on the one hand to the reorientation of Russia from Europe to Asia, and on the other hand, the economic rise of China and the development of the large-scale New Silk Road project (NSR). Such changes require better aligned legislations of the neighboring states.Besides, China can boast considerable experience in providing preferences toexporting companies, while in Russia this direction is still insufficiently developed. In addition, the mechanism of indirect taxation in the two countries has little in common. The applied method of comparative analysis has identified the strongest and the most vulnerable elements of Russian and Chinese VAT systems. The evaluation embraced the governance structure of the tax authorities, legislative basis, tax rates, categories of VAT payers, and export VAT refund scheme. The results have pointed to a twofold nature of the Chinese VAT system, which stimulates the activity of the residents across the country, while the foreign investors are encouraged only in certain areas. The Russian VAT system, on the contrary, is quite standardized, although export promotion tools are underutilized. The final part of the article describes the key findings of the comparative analysis.

Abstract: This study examines the influence of Denison’s organisational culture on use of email among academician in Malaysian private universities. For the research, a scale of measurement was used based upon the concepts that are found in values as well as practices in regards to organisational culture developed by Denison and Mishra (1995) model namely Involvement- Capability Development (ICD), Consistency-Agreement (CA), Adaptability-Organizational Learning (AOL) and Mission- Goals & Objectives (MGO). In this study, Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) developed by Davis (1989) was used as part of the perspective theory on technology adoption, using the constructs; perceived ease of use (PEOU) and perceived usefulness (PU) as mediator for organisational culture and email usage. Data used in the study were based on questionnaires of 128 academician from two Malaysian private universities. The study found that all constructs of organisational culture were having significant in the relationship to the perceived ease of use (PEOU) and perceived usefulness (PU) with ICD, AOL and MGO having significant positive relationship with PEOU and PU while CA has significant negative relationship with PEOU and PU on email usage. Finally, PU and PEOU had significant positive relationship with email usage while PEOU had significant positive relationship with PU on email usage. This means that the usage of email among academician in Malaysian private universities depend on both the user’s perception of email usefulness and the perception of ease of use.

20 001-bki-ricbfm Capital Structure Determinants: The Malaysian Manufacturing Industry’s Evidence M. Hafiz Ali, A. K. M. Nordin, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Malaysia

Abstract: This study examined the relationship and impact of firms’ factors in determining capital structure of Malaysian manufacturing firms. Malaysia’s manufacturing production experienced a huge decline between the years 2008 to 2009 due to global financial crisis, with a production averaged only 5.20 percent from 1991 until 2016. Hence it is important to study the determinants of capital structure as it would help these firms to strategically balance between equity and debt as their source of capital for day-to-day operations and future growth. The developed model indicates that measures of firms’ profitability, size, holding of tangible assets, volatility in earnings and liquidity are enough to determine 72 percent of firms’ capital structure. The result shows that larger firms would favour debt over equity, while firms with higher profit, asset’s tangibility, earnings volatility and liquidity prefer equity as their source of capital. The findings agree with classical theories such as pecking order theory and trade-off theory.
