Dr Deborah Trevallion, The University of Newcastle, Australia. In this article, we explore how creativity is impacted, positively and negatively by educational technology, as fundamental constructs of 21st century education. Creativity is one of the most important and noted skills for success in the 21st century and it is essential to ensure its productivity. This article offers clear definitions of technology and creativity and suggest how ones creative productivity can be impacted upon due to a failure to recognise poorly developed technological skills. Students require time to learn the required technological skills and freely available software. Time must be devoted to learning the functions of the program application before developing creative solutions to problems. It is suggested that effective infusion of creativity and technology in education must begin with building technological skills before moving to a problem solving or a STEM approach to learning that builds creativity. This article provides practical implications with broad recommendations and builds discourse around infusion of creative thinking and technology in 21st century educational systems.

After providing a critique of this inauthenticity, this article suggests that a consideration of the hallmarks of creative work might help one to arrive at this fuller picture. It goes on to discuss this against the context of imminent technological unemployment and the advent of universal income schemes. It contends that this context, along with the possibilities of developing broad social infrastructures to support creativity, hints at practically feasible possibilities for the expansion of wellbeing.

Given that medical students are presumably exposed to higher levels of stress in comparison to others, this study aims to assess the prevalence of IBS in Medical students as well as possible associated risk factors. Method: A cross- sectional study was carried out at the https://www.ijicc.net/index.php/ijicc-editions/33-volume-13-2020/180-vol-13-iss-1 3/99 1/6/2021 IJICC - Vol 13 Iss 1 Pdf (/images/vol_13/13189_Firdaus_2020_E_R.pdf) Determinant of Employee's Satisfaction in Public Companies Muhamad Azis Firdausa, Titing Suhartib, Diah Yudhawatic, a,b,cUniversitas Ibn Khaldun, Bogor, Indonesia, Email: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] This study aims to analyse the direct and indirect effects of antecedent variables on employee job satisfaction. This study included 272 respondents from two regional government-owned companies in the distribution of drinking water in the Bogor region. The study was conducted from April 2018, and until May 2019. The analysis was carried out using the Structural Equation Modelling Partial Least Square (SEMPLS) method on employee job satisfaction variables as endogenous variables, and organisational culture variables and work environment as exogenous variables. The results of the study show that the organisational culture variables, directly and indirectly, have a significant effect on the endogenous variables of employee job satisfaction. The endogenous variables of the work environment positively and significantly affect the employee job satisfaction variable. The limitations of this study are only using two exogenous variables to determine employee job satisfaction. The implications of the results of this study, suggest that companies need to develop the attributes of organisational culture and work environment that can improve employee job satisfaction. Employee satisfaction that is connected with the feelings of employees, requires a separate treatment from the leadership of the company. This can be done through creating a better working environment and building habits that lead to increased employee satisfaction. The novelty in this study is to explain the relationship between the exogenous and endogenous variables of employee job satisfaction using the variant-based SEM and research conducted in public companies.

Thus, although it is not required by the standards, it is vital for Non- profit organisations (NPOs) to provide a quality financial report to give their stakeholders sufficient and accurate information about the organisations’ activities and financial performance. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to review the content of Zakat Institutions (ZI) annual reports to analyse the current practice. To accomplish this, we reviewed a sample of annual reports from 14 ZIs in Malaysia which are publicly available. Content and descriptive analysis methods were utilised in analysing these annual reports. Based on the analysis conducted, the major difference in the reporting practices of ZI’s annual reports is due to the inconsistency of information disclosed specifically regarding a financial matter.
