BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ FINANCE AND PLANNING COMPETENCY INFLUENCE ON CO-OPERATIVE’S FINANCIAL AND NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCES
Abstract
Despite the financial and non-financial support by the federal government and
perceived significant roles played by the co-operatives in the country’s development,
previous studies show that the performance of co-operatives has not been satisfactory.
Thus, this study examines the influence of Board of Directors’ finance and planning
competency on co-operative’s financial and non-financial performances. The data
were collected via the distribution of 200 questionnaires but only 112 usable copies
were subsequently collected. The data were then analyzed using PLS-SEM. The
results reveal that co-operative’s financial and non-financial performances are indeed
influenced by Board of Directors’ finance and planning competency. Implication and
contribution of the study are discussed to justify the significance of this research

literatur menunjukkan sistem pengukuran prestasi boleh mempengaruhi ciri-ciri
dalaman pengurusan seperti kognisi dan motivasi pengurus yang seterusnya boleh
mempengaruhi prestasi pengurusan. Pemantapan sumber modal insan seperti
pengurusan koperasi boleh memberi kesan kepada kesinambungan prestasi koperasi
secara agregat.

KAMPONG COOPERATIVES DEVELOPMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY FROM MIZAN PRINCIPLES: A CASE STUDY AT NEGERI SEMBILAN
Abstract
The world’s co-operative movement shows that co-operative continue to grow across
the globe. In the Malaysian context, neo-endogenous development model has been
a focus of many studies on future rural development policies for the 21st century
wherein the supporting role of cooperatives may be acknowledged especially in
terms of enhancing local capacity and establishing internal and external network. In
Malaysia, transformative rural development embodying the characteristics of neoendogenous development model is embedded in several policies such as the Government
Transformation Plan, Economic Transformation Plan and Rural Transformation
Plan. However, the role of cooperatives in supporting neo-endogenous model through
Sustainable Rural Development (SRD) is constrained by the limited involvement of
households as cooperative members. Exploration into the potential of cooperative
entrepreneurship is not an aberration. Throughout the world, thousands of cooperatives
producing goods and services for the market and also providing social condition and
job opportunities. Realizing the advantages of cooperative for community development
especially in the village or kampong, this research seeks to understand the kampong
cooperatives development and sustainability from the mizan principles. The word
mizan in Arabic comes from the word wazana means balance and consistency, scales
or measurement of an object. On the other view, mizan is a tool that shows the value
of the scales or measurement of a thing measured or weighed. Mizan principles are
al-ubudiyyah, as-syura, al-hurriyah and al-musawah. Those principles are important
as guidelines in the process of kampong cooperative development and sustainability.
Utilizing upon a qualitative research, a case study of three kampung cooperatives in
Negeri Sembilan have been explored. Focus group interviews were conducted with the
cooperative members, kampong development and security committee members (JKKK)
and the villagers. It is found that all of four mizan principles have been utilized without
realizing the importance of those principles due to knowledge lacking. The study also
found that there are several issues that need to be addressed.

FAKTOR MEMPENGARUHI PRESTASI USAHAWAN WANITA DALAM KOPERASI
Abstract
Sehingga kini, populasi wanita yang bergelar usahawan terus meningkat di seluruh
dunia dan terbukti bahawa wanita telah menguasai lebih satu pertiga daripada
keseluruhan individu yang terlibat dalam aktiviti keusahawanan. Penglibatan wanita
dalam arena keusahawanan telah menjadi tumpuan dan perhatian utama dalam
kalangan penyelidik serta pengamal perindustrian memandangkan banyak negara
membangun kini telah membuka peluang kepada wanita untuk terlibat dalam aktiviti
keusahawanan yang sebelum ini dikuasai oleh golongan lelaki. Justeru itu, kajian
ini dijalankan adalah bertujuan untuk mengkaji faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi
prestasi usahawan wanita dalam koperasi di bahagian Kuching dan Samarahan di
negeri Sarawak. Pembolehubah bebas yang terlibat dalam penyelidikan ini adalah
orientasi keusahawanan, modal insan, matlamat dan motif usahawan, faktor sosiobudaya dan faktor perundangan dan pentadbiran. Pengantara dalam kajian ini pula
adalah pengiktirafan peluang manakala pemboleh ubah bergantung adalah prestasi
usahawan wanita. Asas pembolehubah telah dinilai dengan menggunakan soal selidik
yang sah. Sejumlah 118 responden dalam kalangan anggota wanita di koperasi telah
mengambil bahagian dalam tinjauan tersebut. Data diperoleh daripada analisis
menggunakan Pakej Statistik untuk Sains Sosial (SPSS) versi 22. Keputusan empirikal
menunjukkan bahawa modal insan didapati signifikan dengan korelasi positif dan
hubungan kuat dengan skala pengiktirafan peluang, sedangkan pengantara didapati
mempunyai korelasi positif dan hubungan kuat ke arah prestasi usahawan wanita.
Sementara itu, hubungan antara pembolehubah lain didapati signifikan dengan
korelasi sederhana dan hubungan positif dengan pengiktirafan peluang. Sumbangan
utama penyelidikan ini telah memberikan bukti empirikal mengenai hubungan antara
setiap pembolehubah. Selain itu, ia mendedahkan faktor yang paling mempengaruhi
prestasi usahawan wanita dalam kalangan anggota koperasi khususnya di kawasan
Kuching dan Samarahan. Bidang untuk kajian masa depan juga dibincangkan dalam
kajian ini

Abstract
Kertas konsep ini disediakan bagi memperluaskan pengetahuan dan meningkatkan
pemahaman tentang tingkahlaku penglibatan aktif dalam kalangan anggota lembaga
yang mentadbir urus koperasi. Berdasarkan laporan empirikal lepas, kertas ini
mencadangkan satu kerangka teori kajian yang disokong secara konseptual untuk
menerangkan peranan rangkaian sosial dan motivasi bagi menyingkap di sebalik
proses lembaga iaitu tingkah laku penglibatan aktif. Struktur tadbir urus serta peranan
anggota lembaga dalam tadbir urus diterangkan secara kritis khususnya dalam
konteks organisasi koperasi. Isu-isu semasa berkaitan penglibatan berdasarkan
penemuan dan kajian-kajian lalu turut dikupas bagi menggambarkan kepentingan
penglibatan anggota lembaga dalam tadbir urus. Konsep tingkah laku penglibatan
dalam kajian-kajian lepas turut dibincangkan bagi merumuskan konsep tingkah laku
penglibatan aktif dalam tadbir urus koperasi. Ini termasuklah penglibatan anggota
lembaga dalam menjalankan fungsinya secara sukarela sebagai pentadbir dengan
mengambil bahagian secara aktif dalam membuat keputusan. Antara dimensi tingkah
laku yang dikenalpasti ialah Anggota Lembaga berusaha mengakses maklumat untuk
tujuan analisa dan penilaian, berupaya mengemukakan pandangan yang konstruktif
dan berkonflik secara positif dalam membuat keputusan mengenai tadbir urus.
Teori Kognitif Sosial yang disokong oleh Teori Penentuan Kendiri dijelaskan secara
ringkas bagi menggambarkan fenomena tingkah laku penglibatan aktif berkait dengan
rangkaian sosial dan motivasi Anggota Lembaga Koperasi. Akhir sekali kertas ini
mencadangkan agar kajian lanjut dapat dilaksanakan untuk menguji pengaruh faktor
rangkaian sosial dan motivasi terhadap tingkah laku penglibatan aktif Anggota
Lembaga dalam tadbir urus koperasi

EFFECT OF DEMOCRATIC CONTROL AND OWNERSHIP DIMENSIONS ON PERFORMANCE OF AGRICULTURAL COOPERATIVES IN RURAL NIGERIA
Abstract
This study investigates the effect of cooperative structure on its performance in the
rural sector. It focuses on democratic control and ownership structure of Agricultural
cooperatives which dominates the rural areas. Primary data collected through
structured survey instrument were obtained through multi-stage sampling procedure.
The data were fitted to multi-linear regression model after descriptive and Pearson
correlation analysis. The regression results suggests that one-member, one-vote
principle is not related to performance of agricultural cooperative societies in the
rural area. The extent to which control right is tied to members’ capital contribution
has positive and significant effect on performance of cooperatives in the rural areas.
The individual economic strength of cooperative members also exerts positive and
significant effect on cooperative performance at 5% level. The cooperative members’
economic strength could provide opportunity for investments to generate more
surpluses for the members. Thus, membership dimension in cooperatives could be a
requisite for positive outcome of cooperative enterprise most especially in the rural
areas
