Title : Do China labor Laws favor its rural employees? A Review on China’s Employment Relations
Author(s): Prashant Singh; Ranjana Sharma; Jayasri Indiran
Abstract: Due to the fast development in economic systems in China, the change has resulted in the effects on labour relations in the Chinese economy. These economic reforms have posed a significant threat to state-owned enterprises (SOEs), forcing the government to take charge of the economy. Further, employees' interests, coastal regions, and rural areas are areas that the government has taken control of. Besides, China's entry into World Trade Organization (WTO) in the year 2001 has also had a substantial impact on the Chinese employment system. The optimum minimum wage present in the larger area differs from that of smaller regions. In addition, the lower districts have worse social protection and working conditions for workers. Despite this, the labour cost has increased in China, pushing foreign enterprises to de-localize the production unit to other neighbouring countries such as Bangladesh, Vietnam, Indonesia, or Malaysia. The Chinese communist party (CCP) is not interested in losing command over the economy and is concerned with maintaining the surplus export-oriented industry. Therefore, this research will look at how China government is taking a more decentralized and experimental approach towards solving the labour relation issues due to the changes that economic reforms have caused. Lastly, industrial relations in China have experienced a substantial alteration to the passage of time. With the absence of significant representation of unions in the enterprise, the IR in China is generally between the employer and the workers. Hence, the role of the state becomes crucial to handle the difference. Consequently, the state has adopted the experimentation and decentralized approach to address the issues, but still, the problem continues. SOEs and enterprises that have good government ties are far better with their older counterparts. This shows that significant exploitation is happening in those firms which are independent of the IR problems. Further, the article will look at the major causes of labour disputes in China and questions if the true level of labour disputes has been captured by official statistics.

Title : The Sufficiency of Current Training Curriculum for Safety and Health Officer in Malaysia
Author(s): Sabri bin Zainuddin
Abstract: Reducing the incidence of industrial accidents is important because the question of workplace safety will be able to attract more foreign investment to the country. To achieve this goal, all parties need to play their respective roles, including employees and employers. Any negligence should be avoided in addition to the employer should also provide all security access in the workplace. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 (OSHA), a competent Safety and Health Officer (SHO) is required to address safety and health issues in the workplace. However, having such qualifications to help manage workplace safety programs in a variety of industries with very different, challenging, and high-risk environments, seems inadequate. Therefore, a study was conducted to find answers to the question of eligibility and adequacy of an SHO training content to meet the needs of a very different and high-risk workplace and also the question of the adequacy of minimum academic qualifications to perform SHO tasks as specified in OSHA. Analysis of respondents' perceptions will show that the qualifications and content of current SHO training is sufficient to train safety and health officers to serve in various industries in the field of occupational safety and health to perform SHO duties as stipulated in the Occupational Safety and Health Officers Regulations and so on be a key factor in addressing the issue of fatal accidents and permanent disability in the workplace.

Title : The Dynamics of Corruption, Human Capital Development and Economic Performance in Nigeria
Author(s): Ibrahim Adeolu Bakare; Azuka Elvis Ozegbe
Abstract: This study examined the relationship among corruption, human capital development and Nigeria’s economic performance with the motivation to answer questions linked to empirical data reported in recent literature. The study deployed the Auto Regressive Distributed lag (ARDL) to test the short-run and long-run relationship among dependent and independent variables using annual time series data from the World Bank’s Development Indicators and the Central Bank of Nigeria over the period 1982 to 2020. Stemming from the empirical results, the short-run estimates revealed that human capital development, gross fixed capital formation, and government expenditure exert a positive and statistically significant impact on Nigeria’s economic performance. However, the long-run estimation results indicate that corruption, government expenditure and trade openness exert a negative impact on economic performance. In the nutshell, economic performance responds negatively to changes in the country’s level of corruption overtime. Nevertheless, it reacts positively to the changes in human capital development in the long-run. This implies that, with the availability of appropriate policies and resources, human capital development has the potential to massively enhance Nigeria’s economic performance in the long-run. The nature of linkage between corruption and economic performance through human capital development remains less defended in the economic and social literature.

Title : Determining Change Agent using Social Network Analysis
Author(s): Mohamad Tarmizi Taib; Nur Ili Mohamad Tarmizi; Nur Sulaim Ashikin Mohamad Tarmizi
Abstract: The studies on organizational change had been one of the prominent studies in history. For an organization to stay relevant, they had to “change” to fit with the demands and supply in the market. However, despite knowing that change is compulsory for an organization to evolve, the successful rate of organizational change does not improve significantly. Organizations do not really understand what major factors contribute to their change failure and repetitive mistakes were done continuously. Finding a change agent can be a major help to focus on executing change. However, the classical method of selecting change agent is based on hierarchical level, seniority, and random selection. Therefore, this paper suggests an empirical method to select change agent through the method of Social Network Analysis (SNA). This paper proposes the concept of centrality as an important value to determine the right change agent to drive a successful change.
