Human Resource

Planning to pursue my PhD specialising on human resource. I've been thinking of a few titles or areas of research. So, the final title is - Comparative study on human capital retention in public and private sector.

The focus of this research will be on the contribution factor of human capital retention. What are the influence factor. Will looking at the area of motivation level, human resource development, Psychology, career development and compensation package. Hopefully at the end of the study, I'll be able to be the expert on those areas.

But, do not sure whether the title is acceptble to the university or the supervisor. I foresee, even if it is acceptable, they will probably request me to only zoom in on a few area. Then, I'll need to choose either one or two from these areas.

These are the area or the influencing factors of staying put in one organisation. Some people will looking for compensation package that offered to them, some people will look at on career development, some people will look at on the training provided to them (of course this will have the relationship with career development). These three area are something that controlable by the employee. Or we can say it is a concious behavior.

The unconcious factor which may direct toward the action of unconcious behavior will be on the motivation factor and the psychology (alway have difficulty on how to spell it correctly - how can I study it if I can't even spell it). Unconcious behavior will direct the employee to remain in the organisation.

InsyaAllah, base on the research, I can conclude on the main reason behind the human capital retention, the method use to keep employee remain. Without this research, we can also guessing why people leaving but, we won't know for sure with the fact and figure to conform our conclusion.

2nd Tip - Create Your Own Brand

It has been sometime that I've not put something in my blog. It has been a very busy days, weeks and months.

I've asked a few people. Who has been working for quite for a long time. And, this is the advise that we really need to think of. For me, I felt lucky because my career development, even not as good as very few people in this planet, but I manage to build my life with it. And, one thing for sure, I am still pursue my target.

The advise; create your own brand. I've heard it a few time from a different people.

One example, if your were given a choice of two offers. One is to work with a very famous employer with a low monthly pay. And, another option is to work with a small company, say a ketchup factory with a higher monthly pay.

The question is, which one will you accept. If you choose the small company, will will get higher pay while if you accept the famous and big company you will get probably salary that enough for you to survive.

This is one of the tip that I would put as a reference for the younger generation. Who will enter into the job industry.

Basically, if you choose to work with a famous company, you will bring their brand with you all the way of your career advancement.

Tips From The Leader (1) - Ask

I've been working for 13 years. Along the way, I've learned a lot. I'm lucky that I've been given a lot of opportunity. I've given chances to gain experiances from various industry, various scope of work, various bosses, various working environment.

In this article, I'll write about tips that I got from leaders that I met through out my employment. I hope, with this those who happen to read my blog can learn, digest what have been written, and if they think that they could be benefited from it, they are welcome to follow.

I consider this is a guidance to those who just enter into wroking environment. I intended to write a book on this matter. I've already choose a name for my future book - Tips From The Leaders. In this book, I'll compile all the tips that I can pick-up from the leaders that I've met, working with, report to. But, my time now, is not only writing, I cannot focus only with writing. I've a job that I must everyday wake-up and do it, I have also a part time job (more toward exploring new field, trying to gain new experience as a lecturer, I'm also need to go to class 3 days a week for now pursuing my master degree. So, the book need to put on hold. Nevertheless, through this blog, I'll compile, put it up piece by piece, bit by bit.

Tips no 1, ASK. If you need something, want something, you need to ask.

Reason being, people wouldn’t know what you want if you don't tell them what you want. You cannot just stare at one person, hoping that, that person knew you need something from him. That won't happen in this world. Unless you have six sense which enable you to relay the message to that person. Now days, a lot of people actually assuming. a lot of assume. Assume people know what you want. Assume people know what you need. Assume people know what you think. A lot of assume. Assuming won’t bring you anyway. Believe me.

There are a few things that you need to know before you ask. Not simply ask. That won’t work also. First thing, you must ask something that realistic. Something that you can get. Something that people will give it to you.

I’ll stop here for now. I’ll continue in the next article. And, there will be more detail in future book with a lot of example as a guide.

Sarawak

Awal Julai saya telah bertandang ke Sarawak. Atas urusan kerja. Urusan rasmi. Saya mengambil peluang itu untuk meninjau-ninjau keadaan Sarawak bersama Isteri yang saya bawa bersama.

Sarawak tempat yang menarik untuk dikunjungi. Cuma masalah saya ialah mendapatkan makanan disana. Sememangnya banyak restoran yang menjual makanan halal. Cuma saya ini memang cerewet berkenaan makanan. Pada malam kami sampai di sana. Kami telah mencuba di satu tempat makanan seafoods. Mungkin juga mereka dapat mengecam kami bukannya penduduk sana, maka harga yang dicaj agak mahal. Kami dicaj untuk satu umai (salah satu jenis makanan yang popular di sana, isi ikan yang dihancurkan dan diletakkan perasa) dengan harga RM18. Apabila kami balik ke Semenanjung. Kami tanya kawan-kawan yang dari sana, harganya cuma dlm RM8 sahaja.

Apa yang saya ingin sampaikan disini adalah berkenaan pengajaran yang saya perolehi ketika Sarawak.

Rakyat Sarawak amat mesra sekali. Cukup peramah. Walaupun tanpa meminta pertolongan. Mereka dengan senang hati menunjukkan arah. Amat peramah. Saya masih ingat apabila kami sekumpulan mencari tempat tumpuan ramai yang banyak menjual cenderahati. Seorang pakcik yang penyapu sampah yang terdengar akan perbualan kami dengan senang hati menunjukkan arah. Tanpa diminta. Walaupun kami ketawa besar pada masa itu tetapi, kami cukup memuji akan kemurahan hatinya yang menunjukkan arah kepada kami.

Apa yang saya dapati, memanglah harga barang di Sarawak agak mahal dibandingkan dengan harga barang di Semenanjung. Tetapi tidak semua barang-barang di Sarawak mahal. Terutama barang-barang yang dihasilkan di Sarawak. Jika kita bandingkan harga senduk-senduk yang dihasilkan dari kayu nibung. Di Semenanjung kita boleh dapatkan 3 batang senduk dengan harga RM10. Tetapi di Sarawak kita boleh dapat 7 senduk dengan harga hanya RM10. Jauh bezanya.

Jadi, sekiranya kita ingin membeli barang ketika di Sarawak, belilah barang yang dihasilkan di Sarawak. Lagi pun, lebih baik kita beli barang dari sana, yang boleh dihasilkan di sana daripada barang yang dihasilkan di Semenanjung. Lebih untung begitu. Rugilah kalau beli barang yang sememangnya boleh didapati di Semenanjung. Lebih-lebih lagi jika dibandingkan harga baang yang boleh didapati di Semenanjung di Sarawak, harganya agak mahal. Kenapa kita tak beli barang dari Sarawak pada kesempatan disana.

Future Author and Blogging

This is my first article in this blog. Something for a start for me. For me to write whatever I wanted to.

Why did I choose to name my blog with future author. Surprisingly the name is so famous so that I have to put IDEA behind the name. Are there a lot of future authors in blogging here. I'm sure there is.

But then, why I still want to be an author. I want to do something that I really like. Something that come from my only own effort. On my own idea. Yes, there will be ideas that comes from others. I won’t deny it. But, I’ll ensure that I quotes it from others. I’m not going to be someone who hypocrite.

Blogging is the field for me practicing, sharpening my writing skill. I'm sure there will be a lot of mistake and areas of improvement.
