Malaysian workers lack performance culture, say experts

 

According to them ...

A check by The Star with several human resource

 practitioners revealed that Malaysian workers in general only spend four hours in a regular nine-to-five work period being productive.

Another two hours are spent on social networking sites

 or browsing through the Internet, 

whilst

 long lunches, cigarette breaks, tea breaks and office chatter make up for the other two hours.

 `'

hmmm ... betul ke ... ? "experts" yang cakap ni ...

'`'`'

a research issue for those who are still searching for a research problem ... :)

`'`'`'`'

 

Energyyyy ...

meh pi ngocar ...

in the deep sea ...

and get some energy ...

`'

and ... here

 endures the worst to bring you the best ... hehehe

kate nye ...

`'`'


ambik oghang punye ...

claim usaha sendiri ... 

alahai ...

`'`'`'

Yang mana nak buang ...

yes

expanding a piece of work is normally easier ...

it is another challenge altogether when we are over "words" ...

`'

... reducing the words ...

everything seems to be important ...

... everything appears to support each other ...

so sangatlah tercabar nye nak men DELETE apa yang sudah dikarang ...

`'`'

okay ... we can pass it on to a second pair of eyes ...

and dia kata ...

 ni tak perlu ... 

ni tak perlu ... 

ni tak perlu ...

and we will start rationalising that ...

that is important to explain this ...

this is important to clarify that ...

or i have given a lot of thoughts to that and you want me to delete ...

`'`'`'

oh la ...

fikir lah balik ... kita menulis untuk apa dan siapa ...

kalau untuk berblog ... suka hati lah kan ... :)

but when we want others to spend their time listening to us and reading our work ... kena berhemah lah jumlah perkataan tu kan :)

`'`'`'`'

... marah kat diri lah ni ...

Terlupalah pula ...

yang bulan Februari ni 28 hari je ... 

bukan nye bulan 30 hari atau 31 hari ...

so march is arriving faster ...

ingatkan ada seminggu lagi ...

rupanya tak sampai pun ...

tulah letak kalendar tu depan mata ...

harapkan kalendar dalam handphone je ...

alahai ...

`;

Sungguh tak best ...

anyone still bercengkerama dengan nota-nota dan buku? he he ...

`'`'

anyway sungguh tak best kan ...

bila kita dah tulis komen di blog kengkawan ...

click Publish ... internet connection tetiba  out ... tu lah broadband kan ...

sangat tak suka ...

nak ngulang balik ... hilang semangat ...

`'`'`'

Templates ...

one of the easiest way to get the thing done in standardised manner is to use template ...

template ...

template ...

template ...

tak susah buat template ...

kalau susah sikit pun ... first time je ...

then kita tak susah susah kemudian nak standardise kan format yang bercelaru ...

lagi banyak kerja kan ...

`'

tak susah langsung ...

belajar buat template okay ... bila kita nak quality submission from others ...

`'`'

thank you thank you :)

`'
and one more thing ... gunalah metric system for dimension ...
dah lama dah kita migrate ke metric ... kenapa masih suka di british system ni ...

"Though Fellmer’s parents are supportive of his lifestyle and “pretty open,” he admitted to having plenty of critics. “People are very creative with their negative comments. They say I’m lazy, abusing other people,” he said. “But when they talk to me, they learn I’m working 40 to 50 hours a week on projects for the good of society.”

teringat ... dulu dulu ngaji Qur'an dengan tok imam dan tok imam's wife kat kampung ... free je ...

Pandai dan kreatif, suka kelembutan dan jika dikongkong, mereka akan berontak. Senang dijadikan sahabat, kerana mereka tidak berkira. Kelemahannya, boros dan keras kepala.

but there's always a method to moderate it ...

such as what happened when you are called Hajjah 

H
Mudah simpati, bahasanya lemah-lembut. Tidak pernah melukai perasaan orang lain. Selalu tergesa-gesa dalam melakukan pekerjaan, suka berkhayal dan bercita-cita terlalu tinggi.

or

Real ...

R
Pendiam dan bercakap hanya bila perlu. Tekun dengan kerja yang disukai dan bersungguh-sungguh dalam mengejar cita-cita. Suka mengkritik. Dan sukar mengawal bicara ketika marah.

Memoing ...

the concept of Memoing is intrinsic in Grounded Theory methods ...

and thinking on line is another method of memoing for me ...

the on line process makes me more sensitive to my own thoughts and words, because i am aware that they are being read by others ...

although many may claim intellectual property rights and worry that our thoughts may be plagiarised by others, the advantage of openly thinking about an issue and concepts actually far outweigh the risk of being plagiarised ...

~

in simpler terms ... one of the rewards of  this online thinking is we can voice out our thoughts, unlimited by time and context ... it is an interaction that clarifies points to oneself whilst feeling that one is discussing the matters with others ... 

~

 i hope the Grounded Theorists agree with me ... :) ... I can't say ... AAK (Ada Aku Kesah ... what do i care ... :) because i have to defend the thoughts ... :)

i have to invite others to accept my approach and use the same approach ... then and only then i may claim the Reliability of this approach ...

...

Validity and Reliability in Qualitative Research

 

Validity ... and reliability

thinking on line again ...

Creswell says ...

Validity does not carry the same connotations in qualitative research as it it does in quantitative research, nor is it a companion of reliability (examining stability or consistency of responses) or generalizability ( the external validity of  applying results to new settings, people, or samples ...).

Whilst Gibbs (2007) says ( as cited by Creswell) ...

Qualitative validity  means that the researcher checks for the accuracy of the findings by employing certain procedures, while qualitative reliability indicates that the reseacher's approach is consistent across different researchers and different projects.

 (Creswell, 2009, p. 190)

~

  meaning ... Creswell accepts Gibb's perspective that in qualitative research the concept of validity (kesahan) is about accuracy of findings ... and reliability (kebolehpercayaan) is about consistency of approach ...

next step: we will need to elaborate on how to ensure accuracy of findings and consistency of approach ...

sorry kengkawan, this is a real life comprising routines, research pursuit, papers and sleepless nights ... :)

Sungai mengalir lesu ...

kadang-kadang hati ingin berbicara ...

but the brain is just too dense ...

so it has always been my habit to just google ...

the keywords that best expressed what that feeling is ...

and today i ended up with this ...

http://ulasbuku.blogspot.com/2007/02/sungai-mengalir-lesu-samad-said-1997.html

tak pernah pun baca buku ni ...

but pernah dengar title ...

~

Jewel in the Stream

will be a forthcoming title ... hehe

~

Adoi ... kenapa sampai jadi begini ...

tak terbicara ...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=lblV_difvTQ

...

dan tak terucap oleh hati yang sangat perasan ini

...

Perasaan ... dan perasan ...

have a whole day to myself today ...

so sambil kerja ... sambil getting sidetracked ...

tetiba teringat ...

as i entered the computer room where most students worked back then in the UK ... an omputih classmate from the graduate class commented ...

... it's like the sun shining when you smile ... ahhhh perasan nye saye ... :)

... 

balik, i narrated this to centa hati oghang besar dighumah ...

response nye?  ... he was trying his luck ... he said sour faced ...

ahhhhh ... menyampahnye saye ...

...

actually the classmate was a very decent fellow ...

and definitely he was not trying his luck ...

~

but come to think of it ... if he comes home and narrates a similar incidence about himself ... moncong seharian mungkin agaknye diri ini ... hehe

Allah SWT blesses us all 

~

and so it is for school ...

... thinking online again ...and one thing led to another ...

~

if a school has similar vision as a conductor

we would find that everyone ... all the children ... would fit in ...

each contributing to the creation of that one sound ... the learning harmony and joy ...

creating the sound of Learning Engagement ...

...

... please check ...1.44 from the video here ...

isn't that amazing ...

and he is important ... in that final sound ...

~

 

The conductor ...

hmmm ... guess who is in my mind as i watched this conductor ...

~

i have always been fascinated by how conductors put everybody to work together to create a piece of harmony ... and joy ...

... any nation, any organisation, any household, any flight :) ... who has a conductor for a leader is blessed ... 

it is not about the music ... it is about the oneness, the joy and harmony ...

... it is as if a single person is producing the sounds emanating from the various instruments ...

~

Victim ...

ahhh ... tengah-tengah malam masih tak habis berblog ...

 sorry thinking online again ... actually i am looking at an interview with Corbin (Juliet Corbin) ... those who are interested in Qualitative Research will find her work most illuminating ...

this is what she has to say about a certain philosophical approach to life ...

"How can you even get ahead if you think of yourself as a victim? You don't have to take responsibility for things because there is always someone else to blame."
