...questionnaires that were distributed among a sample population of 30 IIUM students consisted of 15 male and 15 females students were used as the instrument. The questionnaire was used to examine the level of awareness among IIUM students on community services, the differences between male and female students’ awareness and the impact of the involvement of students in community services on their academic performances. The results have shown that most of IIUM students were aware of community services and more female students were involved in community services compared to male students. However, most of the students disagreed that the involvement in community services caused bad impacts on their academic performances. Keywords: awareness, community services, IIUM students Participation in community services or volunteering in this day and age is very crucial to help the society.

...Corporate Reputation Review Volume 12 Number 4 A Systematic Review of the Corporate Reputation Literature: Definition, Measurement, and Theory Kent Walker Asper School of Business, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada ABSTRACT A systematic review of the corporate reputation literature is conducted. The final sample of 54 articles (and one book) consists of well-cited papers, and papers in journals that have published high quality work in corporate reputation. The sample is then analyzed and the three fundamental problems in the reputation literature are addressed – the need for a comprehensive and well-accepted definition, the difficulty in operationalizing corporate reputation, and the ongoing need for more developed theory. Two main findings evolve from this analysis: (1) reputation may have different dimensions and is issue specific, and (2) different stakeholder groups may have different perceptions of corporate reputations. The implications for future research are discussed. Corporate Reputation Review (2010) 12, 357–387. doi:10.1057/crr.2009.26 KEYWORDS: corporate reputation; definition; operationalization; organizational identity; organizational image; systematic review INTRODUCTION There are many reasons why organizations and researchers should care about corporate reputation. The relationship between reputation and a sustained competitive advantage is widely acknowledged in the literature (eg, Fombrun and Shanley, 1990; Fombrun, 1996;...

...intelligence is defined as a person’s self-awareness, self-confidence, self-control, commitment and integrity, and a person’s ability to communicate, influence, initiate change and accept change (Goleman, 1998). Studies have shown that emotional intelligence impacts a leader’s ability to be effective (Goleman, 1998). Three of the most important aspects of emotional intelligence for a leader’s ability to make effective decisions are self-awareness, communication and influence, and commitment and integrity. Managers who do not develop their emotional intelligence have difficulty in building good relationships with peers, subordinates, superiors and clients (Goleman, 1998). Thus, this paper is an examination of how emotional intelligence affects a leader’s ability to make effective decisions. (Google-YouTube) Emotional Intelligence in Leadership Emotional Intelligence has become a vital part of how today's leaders meet the significant challenges they face. Emotional Intelligence can help leaders in a challenging leadership role, one that fewer and fewer people seem to have difficulty fulfilling. As the jobs market become significantly scarce, the individuals who continue to complete applications with employers and that are told they are “over qualified” especially at the mid-high entry level organizations, emotional intelligence can give developing leaders a competitive edge. There is growing evidence that range of abilities that constitutes what is now commonly known as...

...the field; The emphasis was on sales incentives; Sales were made solely on the basis of relationships; Incentive companies had gross margins approaching 50 percent. Today, hundreds of smaller players offer a wide variety of incentive solutions. The focus is on much more than just the sales programs due to the number of studies that show the power of incentives to drive employee engagement and customer loyalty. The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility has emerged as a significant element for many programs. Competition and the economy have narrowed the once generous margins for incentive companies. Recent research by the Incentive Research Foundation (IRF) and others, pulse studies and Delphi panels offer some pragmatic insights about where the reward for performance industry has been and where it is heading. As the IRF looked toward 2011 and beyond, it analyzed existing research, scanned incentive industry and business publications, and sought input from industry leaders. This effort yielded the following “11 trends for 2011”. Upon closer examination, the eleven trends can be grouped into four major categories: Economy (1, 2, 3) Government (4) Motivation (5, 6, 7, 8) Technology (9, 10, 11) As you review these trends, the IRF hopes you will analyze how they reflect your own views and experience, and then think about how these factors might affect you and your work as we head into a new year and changed economy. 1.

...their cups back up, because they are being significantly drained. Whenever you have people being pushed at absolute top levels performing on all 100 cylinders all of the time, they run out of gas. And when they run out of emotional gas, negative behaviors start springing up.” Smart Business spoke with Victorio about how one-on-one coaching with employees can improve morale and help them work better together as a team. What is the value of executive coaching? It can improve morale and provide an internal vision for employees as they ask: What is my value? Why am I here? What am I doing? How can I do it better? Improved morale increases productivity and, in some cases, employers see a change in the first week, with people taking responsibility for their communication with one another, approaching their differences of opinion with less of an edge, having conversations happening in a different way and struggling less. Why should employers be concerned about stressed, overworked employees? It can impact their...

...Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) also being known as corporate conscience is a continuing commitment by a business to the society. A business behaves ethically and contributes to the economic development as well as improves the standard of living of the employees and their families in the local community and society. Corporate Social Responsibility also can be defined as areas of concern and initiatives to improve the relations of people and environment (Simply, 2008). Example of company that had put a lot of effort in CSR activities are The Body Shop, Starbucks, Walt Disney and so on. CSR activities can be categorized into a few types of groups such as environment, philanthropy and ethical labor practices. Each type of the group focuses on different matter. However, no matter what type of CSR activity is being launched, all these companies had the same ultimate goal which is to bring the benefits to the society. In this 21st century, the society is very concerned about the condition of the earth because it is where we live. We can often hear from people about global warming, melting ice berg in the North and South Pole, the broken hole at the atmosphere and earth hour which often follow by the slogans such as “Love Your Mother Earth”, “Say No to Pollution”, “Be Kind to Your Mother Earth” etc. All these propagandas show that people today care a lot about the environment and these make up the primary concern of corporate social responsibility in every business which is the...
