The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by
the United Nations in 2015, have provided a
comprehensive roadmap for countries to navigate the
complexities of modern development while ensuring a
harmonious coexistence with our planet. In the context
of Malaysia, a nation characterised by its cultural
diversity, economic dynamism, and natural splendour,
the integration of sustainable development principles
has taken on a profound significance. The Technical and
Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector
particularly Malaysian polytechnics and community
colleges is a crucial arena in which these ideas are
actively promoted.
GENERAL DIRECTOR
YBRS. DR. HAJI. MOHD. ZAHARI BIN ISMAIL
Department of Polytechnic and Community College Education
TVET, which emphasizes equipping individuals with practical skills, technical
knowledge, and holistic education, has emerged as a prerequisite for Malaysia's
sustainable development journey. The Malaysian polytechnics and community
colleges, renowned for their commitment to producing a skilled and adaptable
workforce, are pivotal in advancing the nation's development agenda. By aligning
their programs with the SDGs, these institutions have embraced the responsibility of
nurturing proficient professionals and responsible global citizens.
This book of proceedings explores the dynamic interplay between the Sustainable
Development Goals and TVET within the unique context of Malaysian polytechnics
and community colleges. It delves into the multifaceted efforts undertaken by these
institutions to integrate sustainable development principles into their curricula,
research endeavours, and community outreach initiatives. The exploration
encompasses a comprehensive overview of the various SDGs, highlighting their
relevance to the Malaysian landscape and the role of TVET in their realization.
In the following chapters, readers will embark on a journey that uncovers the
evolving narrative of sustainable development and TVET within Malaysian
polytechnics. This book of proceedings invites readers to embark on a voyage of
exploration, reflection, and inspiration as we explore the dynamic landscape of
sustainable development goals and TVET within Malaysian polytechnics and
community colleges.

When education is seen as a long-term endeavour, it
becomes clear that its purpose extends beyond
immediate academic achievements. As we gather the
collective wisdom of scholars, educators, and thought
leaders within higher education, this book of
proceedings stands as evidence of the pivotal role that
the Malaysian Polytechnic and Community College
Sustainability Award (MPCCSustAWARD23) holds in
shaping the landscape of our educational institutions. It
serves as an inspiration, shedding light on the
transformative power of collaborative efforts towards a
more sustainable future.
DIRECTOR OF CURRICULUM
DEPARTMENT
DR. ZAMZAM BIN MOHD WALID
Department of Polytechnic and Community College Education
Higher education institutions hold an enormous amount of power – not just in
shaping the minds of future generations, but also in steering the course of global
progress. The MPCCSustAWARD23 offers a unique platform, a connection where
ideas, research, and visionary initiatives converge to chart a roadmap towards
responsible and impactful environmental practices. The narratives composed within
these pages demonstrate a great dedication – a commitment to infuse sustainability
into the very fundamentals of our educational systems. Through innovative research,
holistic curriculum development, and strategic partnerships, these scholars and
educators have become pioneers of change, advocating for a more harmonious
coexistence between human ambition and the fragile ecosystems that cradle us.
These proceedings represents the symbiotic relationship between academia and
the broader world. It underscores the urgency of our responsibility – the
responsibility to equip our students not only with the knowledge to thrive but also
with the wisdom to tread lightly and preserve the planet for generations yet unborn.
As we immerse ourselves in the narratives and accomplishments chronicled here,
let us be inspired by the collective pursuit of a greener, more sustainable future. Let
us recognize that higher education is not confined to lecture halls and laboratories,
but extends to the fertile grounds of environmental co
May this book kindle conversations, spark collaborations, and fuel a relentless drive
towards integrating green sustainability into the very DNA of higher education. Let
us, the stewards of knowledge, rise to the occasion and become architects of
change, transforming our institutions into indications of green inspiration for the
world to see.
VII

Within the vibrant tapestry of Malaysian academia, the
educators who guide and inspire the minds of tomorrow
hold the keys to unlocking a future where progress is
harmonised with the well-being of society and the
environment. With immense pleasure and a sense of
profound purpose, these proceedings is dedicated to
unravelling the critical connection between lecturers in
polytechnics and community colleges in Malaysia, and
their engagement in research relating to the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs).
Within these pages, a symphony of voices resonates the
DIRECTOR OF POLITEKNIK SULTAN
ABDUL HALIM MU’ADZAM SHAH
TN. HAJI. ROSLI BIN IDRIS
voices of lecturers who have embarked on a journey of exploration, inquiry, and
innovation. Within these pages, a symphony of voices resonates—the voices of
lecturers who have embarked on a journey of exploration, inquiry, and innovation.
They traverse the realms of academia, bringing to life the inherent potential of
sustainable development research within the unique context of polytechnics and
community colleges. This compendium encapsulates myriad insights, experiences,
and perspectives, each contributing to the overarching narrative of progress guided
by the SDGs.
The fusion of academia and sustainable development represents a marker of hope,
illuminating a path toward a world where knowledge is a conduit for transformative
change. The pedagogical commitment of these educators extends beyond the
confines of lecture halls and campuses. Their research is proof to the power of
ideas, sparking discourse, influencing policy, and nurturing a generation of
enlightened citizens equipped to tackle the most pressing challenges of our times.
As we peruse the chapters that lie ahead, we are invited to contemplate the
synergy between academia, sustainable development, and the role of lecturers as
torchbearers of this noble cause.
We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the lecturers, researchers, and contributors
who have enriched this compendium with their wisdom and insights. As we embark
on this intellectual odyssey, may we be electrified by the collective commitment to
a future where academia and sustainable development stand hand in hand, guiding
us toward a world of prosperity, equity, and enduring harmony.

Perspectives Towards ESG From Social Construction Theory Among
Governments Officials

ABSTRAK
Incorporating evidence from reviews, this paper aims to examine and understand the environmental,
social, and governance consciousness among government officials in Malaysia. This cross-sectional
study utilizes both quantitative and qualitative procedures in measuring and exploring the variables.
This paper will administer the data collection in two phases and use both questionnaires and open-ended
structured interview questions. This study concerns adapting social constructive theory in analyzing the
steering factor to ESG.
Kata Kunci: ESG, government, sustainable consciousness, sustainable knowingness, sustainable
attitude, sustainable behavior.
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 ESG
ESG has been announced and introduced in 2004 (Li et al., 2021). ESG is a framework of
environmental, social, and governance. The environment is concerned with how organizations
use resources and energy, and how they take and manage the waste. This is also related to
carbon emissions and climate change. While society is concerned with the reputation the
organization makes with the people and communities. It includes labor relations and diversity
within the organization as well as governance which refers to practice, control, and procedures.
Ever in the last 19 years ago, all countries are gearing up to match this sustainable development.
The three pillars of ESG have been the central attraction among companies and organizations.
The ESC Score and ESG metrics for instance have been the ultimate focus to have for boosting
corporate sustainability. While it shows the ethical and sustainable impact on companies'
corporate financial interests, the ESG also becomes important to portray the sustainable status
of a company. Recently sustainability issues have emerged as the main concern regarding
companies' corporate image (Dicuonzo et al., 2022). The ultimate idea of this issue lies in the
concern of leaving this world to the future generation with a quality of life. Thus, this study
aims to (i) explore the sustainability consciousness among government offficials, (ii)
understand the how Social Construction Theory can be used to measure the sustainability
consciousness among government officials.
ESG is not a new phenomenon but has been initially introduced way back in the 1960s and
1970 but the pitfalls of it are normally and easily accepted. This situation is unhealthy in
reaching sustainability, especially since the mindset of people is focused on maximizing
shareholders' returns (Zhou et al., 2023). Supposedly ESG would create value for an
organization. Studies show that 63% of companies share the positive impact an ESG brings
(Henisz et al., 2019). Even though only 8% report slightly a negative impact and the remaining
29% don't have a clue about what is all about. This 29% would be the figure that hinders us to
achieve perfect sustainability.

Thus, it is deemed critical to understand the real scenario of the entire business unit on how
well the ESG and sustainability elements blend into their knowledge.
2. ROLE OF GOVERNMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY
As all companies are reaching this ESG score, governance has to be seen as the top priority in
reaching that. Although the G is the last word in ESG, governance should be the organization
that should steer the momentum. Generally, government and governance are different.
Government is a group of people who rule or run the administration of a country and
governance is the act or process of governing (Joshua, 2011). Strategic momentum should be
started by the officials in the government and ensure that sustainability is achieved.
Government must lead the sustainability process by managing the growing issues in
sustainability such as managing the depletion of natural resources, environmental degradation
as well as climate change.
However, with the planet's temperature rising, national CO emissions aside with catastrophic
impacts on the lived environment. With bigger issues on health and society, the government
might indirectly push millions of people into poverty. In stewarding sustainability and ESG,
the government has some credible commitments such as they are aiming at delivering
renewable energy, reducing its economy-wide carbon intensity as well as eradicating forced
labor practices. The government-linked companies (GLCs) play a significant role in the
strategy. Other government officials like the state government are also encouraged to engage
in this implementation process including in policy design. However, in ensuring the
effectiveness of the strategies, the government has to carefully plan and review its action plan
for green initiatives. In pushing this ESG agenda, education always becomes the primary
activity to vigorously promote sustainability (Saieed, 2022).
2.1 Social Construction Theory (SCT)
SCT is a theory that uncovers how individuals perceive the 'taken for granted' ways of
understanding the world and us. It has specified that we have to look specifically and beyond
individuals to the extent of social, political, cultural, and economic to further understand the
evolution of today's knowledge and understanding of social life (Burr, 2015).
Previously, behaviorists believed in the 'human-as-machine' analogy which posits that learners
can be programmed and reprogrammed based on the principles that learners have to be a tabula
rasa (Adams, 2006). Based on the Principles of Psychoanalysis which are stated from the ideas
of Sigmund Freud to American AA Brill, tabula rasa considers that a child's learning behavior
starts from a blank state (Duschinsky, 2012).

Thus, before steering into corporate governance to lead on stewardship of sustainability, the
government people should and must understand the idea of sustainable development goal
(SDG) and how Environment Social and Government (ESG) Score would play the role. Do
these government officials are in a blank state or fully aware of the ESG principles?
3. METHODOLOGY
EY as a global organization and member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited UK has listed
five factors that can enhance government in making ESG a reality. Those five key factors are
environmental, technological, economic, geopolitical, and societal. In this cross-sectional
study, a mixed-method approach will be conducted. There will be some phases in conducting
this study as illustrated below.
Phase 1 – Quantitative Procedure
Phase 2 – Qualitative Procedure
This method is utilized to uncover the perspectives of government officials towards ESG from
the Social Constructive Theory worldview. The quantitative procedure will be conducted
utilizing the questionnaires adapted from Gericke (2019). The framework to measure the
variables is shown below.
Diagram 1: Research Framework
Phase 1 will examine the sustainability consciousness and later will be followed by a qualitative
procedure to understand ESG. The qualitative procedure will be conducted after the result of
Phase 1 is analyzed. This is because to explore and understand the variable, one can further
understand after the measurement and examination process is completely conducted.
The scope of this study has been focused on the government officials who serve in the Ministry
of Higher Education and this study is mainly for measuring sustainability consciousness among
academic staff. The population of this quantitative study is 66,388 academic staff (KPT, 2020)
and according to the table of sampling, the sample should be 384 respondents (Krejcie &
Morgan, 1970). Data collection should be administered thru online questionnaires and
analyzed. SPSS version 29 would be utilized to measure the four variables.

Diagram 2: Qualitative Data Analysis
On the other hand, the above diagram is the qualitative data analysis that would be utilized to
understand the sustainability insights among government officials. This process is the second
phase of this study. The process of qualitative data analysis would follow the qualitative case
study theory (Yin, 2011). The other process would be administered and finally effortlessly meet
the research objectives (J W Creswell, 2013). This study would be utilizing the qualitative
method and use the open-ended questionnaire to understand the phenomena. An open-ended
structured interview would be used to explore the situation (John W Creswell, 1998) and
understand the new phenomena; ESG (Saldaña, 2010).
4. CONCLUSION
ESG is a framework that has been accepted worldwide on how the future would be. With a
holistic view, the idea of ESG would be much more understood with the sustainability issue
beyond the environment. Thus, in making sure that the government should steer the ESG
policies, this study is deemed required. With the rising United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) and effort to shape a more sustainable world, Malaysia and TVET
should measure and understand its ESG perception among government officials so that they
can comfortably steer and indulge in the ESG.
