Train Overcrowding: Assessing and Prioritising Demand Management Strategies by Key Stakeholders
RAGS12-058-0058
(RM 20,000)
This project evaluates strategies for rail demand management through a two-phase study:
-
Phase 1: A systematic appraisal of the literature that identified (i) categories of strategies for managing peak demand in rail services, and (ii) key issues that presented barriers to successful implementation of these strategies.
-
Phase 2: A survey with transport stakeholders who ranked the identified strategies based on their feasibility, effectiveness, and cost showed that a high priority was placed on four strategies: (1) free early bird incentives, (2) discounted early bird or off peak fares, (3) increasing train frequency, and (4) travel demand management programme.

LRGS203.PTS.6728002
(RM 1,704,000)
This is a four‐year research collaboration between Universiti Sains Malaysia, Universiti Utara Malaysia, and International Islamic University Malaysia. In this project, we are interested in investigating social psychological variables that can influence crowd behaviour and crowd management in the context of Hajj.

The IIUM Religiosity Scale (IIUMRelS)
(RM20,000)
The objective of constructing the IIUM Religiosity Scale (IIUMRelS) is to measure a Muslim’s religious attitude based on the three concepts of iman (cognitive and belief system), islam (acts of worship), and ihsan (affective state). These three concepts, outlined in Hadith Jibril, are assumed to be the defining features of Islam, and is one way of conceptualising religiosity.
Identification of Facilitators and Barriers to Effective Implementation of Islamic Work Ethics in Islamic Banking Institutions
FRGS14-115-0356
(RM 98,000)
The conceptualisation and outcomes of Islamic work ethics have been established, but, execution of its implementation in Islamic banks has not yet been investigated. In this project, we believe that a mixed-methods research (QUAL-QUAN) can uncover the facilitating factors and barriers of its implementation.
-
Study 1: Using qualitative approach, the study explored what is known regarding the factors that facilitate and hinder the implementation of Islamic work ethics and how these factors could affect the implementation process in Islamic banks.
-
Study 2: Quantitative analyses of a survey data from 227 full-time Islamic bank employees were conducted.
