Abstract :
The COVID-19 pandemic is indeed able to affect the physical and mental health of employees. However, there is still less research related to the relationship between stress and work engagement on employee performance based on the context of this pandemic. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the influence of work stress and work engagement on work performance among public sector workers in Malaysia during the pandemic season. The study data was collected through a quantitative survey approach and the study sample consisted of 150 eligible respondents selected through the snowball sampling method. These three variables were measured using three instruments namely Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES), and Individual Work Performance Scale (IWPS) and they were distributed online through a link of Google Form. The data collected will be analyzed using the IBM SPSS Statistics Version 28.0 software system. A simple linear regression analysis found that work pressure has a significant and negative relationship with the work performance of public sector employees while work engagement has a significant and positive relationship with the work performance of public sector employees. The results of multiple regression analysis also prove that there is a positive and significant relationship between enthusiasm and task performance. Therefore, this proves that work performance depends on the stress and engagment of employees towards their work. Enthusiasm obtained from people around also contributes to individual work performance. This study is very important for future researchers to identify the causes of work performance deterioration based on stress factors and work engagement.

Google Form was used to spread the survey and IBM SPSS Version 27 was used to analyze data obtained. The research found that authoritarian parenting style had greater effect to young adolescent’ emotional regulation. Result indicated that there was a correlation between authoritarian parenting style and young adolescent’s emotional regulation. The research proved that each parenting style affects emotional regulation and development in children, as it helps them prepare for situations when emotions arise, positive or bad.

The issue of a person's leadership influence is frequently debated and linked to the attainment of success or benchmarks for some organisations or themselves. Many parties are interested in this issue because Malaysia is a developing country that requires leaders to ensure success is always at an optimal level. As a result, a study was conducted to investigate the impact of leadership on workplace safety and quality among employees in Malaysia's public and private sectors. Respondent information was gathered using research tools such as the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ), Individual Work Performance Questionnaire (IWPQ), and The Occupational Safety and Health Monitoring and Assessment Tool (OSH-MAT), which were distributed via a Google Form questionnaire. The researcher used a random sampling technique to collect information from 150 Malaysian public and private sector workers. According to the results of the regression analysis's inference statistics, both dependent variables are significant and have a linear relationship with the influence of leadership. Regression analysis of the influence of leadership on the quality of work produced by employees at work is positive and significant (F(1,148) = 41.263, p < .05). Regression coefficient (.467, p.05). While the regression analysis for leadership's influence on employee safety at work is negative and significant (F(1,148) = 3.428, p >.05). Regression coefficient (ß = -.150, p > .05). In conclusion, the influence of leadership has a very strong impact on the quality of work produced by employees at work and the safety of employees at work in the public and private sectors in Malaysia.

Body Image; Body Dissatisfaction; Ideals of Thinness; Self-Objectification; Eating Disorders; Anxiety
Abstract :
Humans form opinions about their bodies at a very early age, and children as young as 3 years old displayed body confidence issues. The likelihood of experiencing body dissatisfaction increases across childhood and into adolescence. Body mass index (BMI) is an important predictor of body dissatisfaction, and BMI is associated with body satisfaction across cultures. Studies on disordered eating and body dissatisfaction were predominantly conducted in Western countries. However, several recent studies suggested that women in Asian countries were vulnerable to disordered eating, similar to their Western counterparts. In Malaysia, negative body image perceptions, weight obsession and disordered eating were usually identified in adolescents with peer and emotional problems. Having a negative body image is associated with social appearance anxiety. The fear of evaluation by oneself and others is often associated with body image disturbance which is a key risk factor for the development of eating disorder symptoms among adolescents. Social appearance anxiety and eating disorders are highly comorbid. Women diagnosed with an eating disorder tend to have higher levels of BMI, drive for thinness, and body dissatisfaction. Objectification theory could explain the relationship between body image dissatisfaction and disordered eating. Objectification theory has linked self-objectification to negative emotional experiences and disordered eating behaviour in cultures that sexually objectify the female body. High levels of disordered eating attitudes and behaviours are often associated with greater objectification of their bodies.
