This study examines whether the undergraduate accounting students in a Malaysian public university are experiencing stress and if yes, seeks to understand the reasons as to why the students experience stress during their course of study. Using a case study qualitative approach, this study found two main themes that relate to high stress level among the accounting students namely, academic related and non-academic related. Most of the students agreed that the main cause to their high stress level is attributed by their academic study. They agreed that overload of subjects and deadlines of submitting assignments and projects are the main causes for stress. In addition, irrelevant subjects and time spent to attend to academic events and activities have caused them to study last minute and consequently, put them under stress. The way they have to study for their degree is also very much different from the way they studied during their diploma. The students noted that much of their study during their diploma was based on memorizing compared to the degree level that requires application and critical thinking. Surprisingly, the students noted that accounting is not their preferred course. In relation to non-academic, the students experience stress as they have consistent thoughts of what their future may be, whether they would be able to obtain a job upon graduation and also on the current economy and political situation. The findings in this study sheds some lights to the university and the academics on the reasons to the students‟ high stress level and subsequently, provide some strategies to assist the students in overcoming their stress level and improve their performance.

In the new global economy, workplace safety has become a central issue among companies all over the world. It is becoming difficult to ignore that this trend has also been happening in Malaysia especially the manufacturing sector. The worrying trend can be seen from the increasing number of workplace accident reported by Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH), Malaysia in manufacturing companies. In recent years, researchers have shown an interest in studying the role of safety leadership to reduce workplace accidents. It is found that safety leadership plays a significant role in ensuring a safe and sound workplace. Due to this concern, this paper attempts to provide a conceptualization of safety leadership from the perspective of Malaysia’s manufacturing sector. It is proposed that positive safety leadership leads to reduction of workplace accidents. In response to this matter, it is hypothesized that the higher level of safety leadership will affect the lower level of workplace accidents. A questionnaire from Wu et al. (2008) will be adopted to explain the conceptualization of safety leadership, it is expected that the concept of safety leadership practiced in Malaysia’s manufacturing sector has a similar meaning from the perspective of western researchers.

The behavioural aspect of budgeting has been on the front burners of academic discourse over the years. Recent shift in argument between budget participation and various elements of performance using indirect models which accommodate different moderators and mediators clearly stalled the growth of direct causality studies whose contents are not empirically exhausted. This study examines the direct link between budget participation on one hand and budget goals commitment on the other against financial performance. Both survey and ex post facto designs were used to draw both primary and secondary data for the study. Pearson Correlation and Regression were used to analyse the data obtained from 15 Nigerian listed banks. The results of the analysis reveal a strong and statistically significant link between both budget participation and goal commitment and performance. The former commands more robust positivity which is in consistent with extant studies. Top policy makers in the banking industry are encouraged by the outcome of this study to accommodate the input of tactical and operational personnel in budget designing and implementation process. Such action would further reduce policy resistance and drive up the key corporate bottom-line as this study found.
