Background: Dengue vaccine is a promising alternative for protecting communities from dengue. Nevertheless, public acceptance of the dengue vaccine must be considered before the authorities decide to carry out intensified research and recommend the vaccine adoption. This study aimed to assess the stakeholders' acceptability of the dengue vaccine and determine the factors that influence their intentions to adopt it.Methods: Survey data collected from 399 respondents who represented two primary stakeholder groups: scientist (n = 202) and public (n = 197), were analysed using the partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) technique.Results: The findings revealed that the stakeholders claimed to have a highly positive attitude and intention to adopt the vaccine, perceived the vaccine as having high benefits, and displayed a high degree of religiosity and trust in the key players. The results also demonstrated that attitude and perceived benefits significantly influenced the intention to adopt the dengue vaccine. Furthermore, the perceived benefit was the most significant predictor of attitude to the dengue vaccine, followed by religiosity, attitudes to technology, and trust in key players.Conclusion: The findings showed that the stakeholders in Malaysia were optimistic about the dengue vaccine with a positive attitude and perceived benefits as significant predictors of intention to adopt the vaccine. Hence, ongoing research can be intensified with the end target of recommending the vaccine for public adoption in hotspot areas. This finding contributes to the consumer behaviour literature while also providing helpful information to the government, policymakers, and public health officials about effective strategies for driving dengue vaccine acceptance in Malaysia and other countries with a history of severe dengue transmission.

Leadership studies within the field of business research in Malaysia and around the globe are expanding rapidly but remain divided and inconclusive. The hospitality industry provides significant contributions to Malaysia’s economy, reflecting its financial standing. Therefore, this paper intends to analyze the most recent research breakthroughs linked to transformational leadership and organizational performance in Malaysia’s hospitality industry, as well as to put forward recommendations for potential mediating or moderating variables. Past literature confirms that practicing and exhibiting transformational leadership qualities is relevant for hospitality leaders. Furthermore, it suggests that transformational leadership dimensions may significantly contribute to organizational performance. Finally, this study concludes that POS could bridge the gap in existing research on the relationship between transformational leadership towards organizational performance. This study strongly postulates that by examining the role of POS in different contextual studies, it is highly anticipated that the direct links between transformational leadership and the performance of an organization can be enhanced. Furthermore, implications and recommendations are also discussed.

Virtual art has emerged as a transformative force in the evolving landscape of digital retail, particularly within e-commerce platforms such as Shopee Malaysia. This review critically examines the role of virtual art encompassing digital illustrations, augmented visuals, motion graphics, and immersive design elements in promoting products by local entrepreneurs. It highlights how these creative tools enhance brand storytelling, strengthen consumer trust, and foster emotional engagement, especially for micro and small enterprises (MSEs) operating with limited marketing resources. Drawing upon interdisciplinary literature, the paper explores the ways in which Malaysian sellers utilize virtual aesthetics to embed cultural identity and product value in highly competitive digital marketplaces. In addition, it addresses the challenges faced by entrepreneurs, including limited design literacy, financial constraints, and low awareness of the strategic potential of visual content. The review concludes by identifying future opportunities for capacity building, platform support, and collaborative innovation to democratize the use of virtual art in local entrepreneurship.

The development of knowledge economy has reinforced the significance of education in Malaysia, particularly for advancing the nation's growth. The success of the education sector depends largely on the element of leadership, a key management role that focuses on building public relations, fostering interpersonal relationships, and creating strategies to boost performance and overall organizational success. Within the context of higher education, effective leadership can shape institutional direction and significantly impact students' performance, substantially driving their capacity to adapt to changes, promote innovation, and uphold higher academic standards. This study aims to develop a model examining how leadership preferences (transformational leadership, task-oriented leadership, and people-oriented leadership) directly influence students' academic performance in Malaysia's Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The study developed three hypotheses, which were quantitatively tested using Structural Equation Modelling via Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM). Data were collected from 200 university students via purposive sampling, and a five-point Likert scale was used to administer the survey questionnaires. All measures were adapted from well-validated sources and possessed good internal consistency. The findings indicate that transformational and task-oriented leadership styles have a positive and significant relationship with students' academic performance. On the contrary, people-oriented leadership does not significantly affect students' academic performance. The findings suggest that universities should adopt a blend of transformational and task-oriented leadership styles to enhance student participation and performance. Integrating the benefits of both leadership styles in the education sector can nurture academic success and provide students with the necessary skills for their future.
