There is evidence to suggest that Malaysian housemen are becoming more burned out. This study examines relationships between role ambiguity, organisational justice, organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB), and burnout among housemen at the Malaysian Ministry of Health (MoH). The questionnaire was distributed at random to the study's participants. PLS-SEM was used to analyse the data (version 4.0). The quantitative technique was used to distribute a questionnaire to housemen at 15 public hospitals in Malaysia. The partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) method was used to analyse the data. The MoH can be advised to use the study's results to pinpoint elements of role ambiguity and OCB that can reduce burnout among Malaysian housemen. According to the research, organisational justice and OCB have positive effects on burnout while role ambiguity has a negative effect. In Malaysian public hospitals, the results show that two independent variables can reduce housemen's burnout. However, role ambiguity did not lessen the importance of burnout among housemen. In order to draught and implement the necessary policies, top management in all public hospitals will use the study's findings as a guide. If the nation can find a way to lessen housemen burnout by managing the implementation of policies that are related to role ambiguity and OCB, it might be able to better serve the communities in the future.

The period of substantial economic ambiguity such as recession and economic crisis had urged us to boost the savings rate as people forgo their current consumption expenditure to compensate for an unpredictable financial future. The exigency of saving amid new normal endemic is vital for economic growth and recovery. Hence, this paper is aimed to analyze some macroeconomic factors such as interest rate, inflation rate, household income, government consumption expenditure, and the household final consumption expenditure that can influence the household savings in Malaysia by using the ordinary least square method (OLS). This paper utilizes the secondary data sources from the World Bank Data and Department of Statistics Malaysia over the period from 1999 to 2019. The findings manifest that a new predictor variable which is the government consumption expenditure, as well as the household final consumption expenditure had a negative significant effect on household savings whereas household income and interest rate are known as less significant factors. Nonetheless, inflation rate is found insignificant towards the household savings in Malaysia. Therefore, this paper implies the exploration of factors affecting household savings could be useful to policymakers, investors, and financial advisors to help sustaining the macroeconomic wellbeing and hence raise the standard of living.
