Tujuan utama kajian ini adalah untuk mengukur hubungan antara kecerdasan emosi dengan tekanan kerja dan kepuasan kerja dalam kalangan anggota Tentera Darat Malaysia (TDM). Kecerdasan emosi, yang mempunyai empat dimensi: memahami emosi, emosi emosi diri, kesedaran sosial, dan kemahiran sosial, merupakan pembolehubah bebas dalam kajian ini. Pada masa yang sama, pembolehubah bersandar ialah tekanan kerja dan kepuasan kerja di kalangan ahli TDM. Tinjauan adalah kuantitatif, dengan 479 responden memberikan respons lengkap. Bagi meneliti analisis faktor dan ujian hipotesis, data dianalisis menggunakan Statistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS) versi 21.0 dan seterusnya Smart Partial Least Square (SmartPLS) versi 3.0. Dapatan kajian mendedahkan bahawa kecerdasan emosi mempunyai hubungan yang signifikan dengan kepuasan kerja tetapi tidak dengan tekanan kerja.
Abstract
The primary purpose of this study was to measure the relationship between emotional intelligence with job stress and job satisfaction among personnel of the Malaysian Army (TDM). Emotional intelligence, which has four dimensions: understanding emotions, self-emotional emotions, social awareness, and social skills, is the independent variable in this study. At the same time, the dependent variables are work stress and job satisfaction among TDM members. The survey was quantitative, with 479 respondents providing complete responses. To examine the factor analysis and hypothesis testing, the data were analysed using Statistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS) version 21.0 and subsequently the Smart Partial Least Square (SmartPLS) version 3.0. The study's findings revealed that emotional intelligence has a significant relationship with job satisfaction but not with work stress.

Abstract
The research was conducted to determine the different aspects of job performance among Senior Non-Commissioned Officers (SNCO), often mentioned as middle managers in the Malaysian Army. This study has identified that the job performance of the SNCOs in the combat element corps consists of task and contextual job performance. The quantitative approach was implemented, and the data consisting of 458 respondents were collected from soldiers of the rank of corporal and below, i.e. JNCOs from the combat element corps of the Malaysian Army in all geographic locations of Malaysia. The data analysis used was PLS-SEM to determine the acceptability of the data obtained with the hypothesised model of job performance. The R2 value of 0.852 indicates that 85.2 % of job performance is predicted by task and contextual performance constructs. The results also support the hypothesis that task performance and contextual performance have a significant positive relationship with job performance among the SNCOs. This study established that both task and contextual job performance are of equal importance in determining the job performance of middle managers of the combat element of the Malaysian Army. Nevertheless, task performance is more significant compared to contextual performance.

Abstract
The disaster always affects a person, financial, economic, trust issues, leadership and much more. It takes a lot of hard work and high intensity in managing the disaster. Infantry personnel are movers in managing the disaster in Malaysia that provide response and conduct search and rescue. Welfare and morale are elements that contribute to disaster response management. This study's objectives include determining the relationship between infantry personnel’s welfare and morale with effective disaster response management. An exploratory and descriptive approach is used to conduct interviews with the infantry personnel in Sarawak. All the data were transcribed and categorised into themes. The findings showed that infantry personnel have high morale and are satisfied with the military's welfare towards themselves and their families. The implication and contribution of this study are to understand the importance of welfare and morale towards disaster response management. Providing fair welfare that includes the safety of the subordinates and their families, working schedule, and medical and counselling is essential to increase the morale of the infantry personnel. Infantry personnel must cooperate to manage the disaster, leading to successful disaster response and management.
CHINA’S HYBRID WARFARE IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA
Sarang Joshi, S. Inderjit
Abstract
With the advent of nuclear weapons and increased international impetus on human rights, the likelihood of a full-blown war between actors seems less likely. Therefore, it is apparent that concepts of war would again transform to suit a more acceptable form – Hybrid Warfare. The paradigm of Hybrid Warfare aims to exploit various domains traditionally not associated with war synergistically. The acts undertaken in these domains are calculated to be below a certain threshold and offer plausible deniability, which, therefore, cannot be classified as outright acts of war. Furthermore, these acts are exploited in a ‘Grey Zone’ – where delimitations between war and peace are not earmarked or clear. The disputed region of the South China Sea, wherein territorial and maritime disputes exist among several claimants, forms an ideal Grey Zone. Dominion over this region would address China's military, Economic, Energy and Food Security needs. Thus, in an effort towards dominating the South China Sea, China has been employing numerous means such as Diplomatic Manoeuvres, Economic Intimidation, Military Force and Miscellaneous Subversions. When analysed in unison, these acts undoubtedly reveal a Hybrid Warfare character.
