A Study on Helping Attitude among Startups
Mohammad Noorizzuddin Nooh, DrUmmiSalwa Ahmad Bustamam
Faculty of Economics and Muamalat, Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia
Abstract: Helping others is considered and sometimes expected to be a voluntary act. This behavior can be
characterized as a helpful behavior that does not expect something in return. In general, the behavior of helping others
would create a conducive environment especially when being instilled at an early stage of entrepreneurial journey. The
study was conducted on 115 startup companies owners who participated under Tunas UsahawanBeliaBumiputera
(TUBE 5.0) organized by SME Corporation, an agency under the Ministry of International Trade and Industries,
Malaysia in early March 2018. The rate of return on the questionnaires was 48%. The objective is to find and compare the
helping attitude of startups based on several demographic factors. The sample was selected through purposive
sampling technique. The researchers used the Helping Attitude Scale (HAS) by Gary S. Nickell. It is a scale with 20-item
to measure respondents’ belief, feelings, and behaviors associated with helping others. The data was analyzed using
Cross tabulation analysis. Based on the simple analyses, it is revealed that male startup owners possess better helping
attitude than their female counterparts. Further analysis might give the researchers and the audience a better
understanding and insights on this issue.

I. Introduction
Startups are parts of an economic ecosystem in any given country. In the past couple of years Malaysian startup
ecosystem has incubated a great number of amazing startups that has attracted some of the top investors. The Malaysian
startup scene is growing at a powerful speed according to 2016 statistics. Investments were up to US$1.45 billion
(MYR6.5 billion) in 2016, according to the Malaysia’s Security Commission Annual Report 2016 (Pagan Research, 2018).
Helping others is a very important personal trait in which a person is concerned about the welfare of others.
Entrepreneurs should be passionate about their ideas, goals and, of course, their companies. This passion is what drives
them to do what they do. Some entrepreneurs love the adventure and excitement of creating something new, and once it
is established they lose interest and move on to something else. Other entrepreneurs feel passionately about the product
they are constructing or the sense of accomplishment they feel because they know they are helping other people, helping
animals or helping the planet.
II. Defining Startups
According to Neil Blumenthal, co-founder and co-CEO of Warby Parker, “A startup is a company working to solve a
problem where the solution is not obvious and success is not guaranteed” (Robehmed, 2018). According to the Indian
Government, a startup can be defined as any business entity that has been incorporated 5 years or less, turnover for any
of the financial years has not exceeded Rupees 25 crore, and is working towards innovation, development, deployment
or commercialization of new products, processes or services driven by technology or intellectual property (Marg &
Kunj, 2016). Startups are companies with a limited operating history. This company, in general has just been created,
and is still in the development and market research phase. The term 'startup' has become popular internationally since
the dot-com bubble when many internet-based companies have sprung up. Tech-startup is a startup that specializes in
the high-tech industry. Startups can have various forms, but the term "startup company" is often associated with
companies that are fast-growing and technology-oriented. Investors are attracted to new companies which are clearly

characterized by their risk and scalability. So, this startup tends to have a lower 'bootstrapping cost', higher risk, and a
higher potential for ROI-return on investment. Successful startups are usually more 'scalable' than established
businesses, meaning startups have the potential to grow faster with limited capital, labor or land investment.
III. Background of Bumiputera Youth Entrepreneurs Program (TUBE)
The Bumiputera Youth Entrepreneurs Program or Tunas UsahawanBeliaBumiputera (TUBE) program is a government
initiative to encourage the generation of youths to venture into business. It was launched during the Bumiputera Youth
Entrepreneurs Congress organized by Ministry of International Trade and Industry of Malaysia (MITI) on 27-29 March
2014. During the Congress’ closing ceremony on 29 March 2014, the Prime Minister announced an allocation of RM10
million to SME Corporation Malaysia (SME Corp) to implement the TUBE Program in 2014 (Bahagian Teknologi
Maklumat, SME Corp. Malaysia, 2018). The program directly supports the nation’s youth development policy where
entrepreneurship is one of the key areas of focus for youth to move forward. SME Corp is committed to producing
12,000 young Bumiputera entrepreneurs through the TUBE Mega by 2020. Through the implementation of the TUBE
Mega program, an estimated 37,000 new job opportunities could be created that could generate RM1.1 billion of
accumulated sales value and contributed RM450 million to Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
The program targets Bumiputera youths between the ages of 18 and 30 who have deep interest in engaging in
entrepreneurship, especially youths who have basic skills certificates from local training institutions or skills centers.
The main objective of the TUBE Program is to 1) nurturing and cultivating entrepreneurial spirit among youths, 2) youth
paradigm shift from job seeker to owner or business entrepreneur; and 3) forming resilience and identity among youth
in managing their own businesses. This TUBE program is specially designed to prepare youth who want to start a
business to have mental and physical resilience, as well as being exposed to the real world business landscape and
challenges. This is done through three phases of implementation. In Phase 1, eligible participants will follow bootcamp-
based military basic physical training to test the power of the mind, learn how to make strategic decisions, courage,
leadership characterization and teamwork spirit. This is in preparation for the many challenges that will be faced while
doing business. Selection of participants was strictly conducted via interview session to ensure only highly motivated
participants will join the program.
Next, during the Phase 2, participants will be exposed to the latest business landscape; including information on the
types of assistance and facilities provided by various ministries and agencies to start a business. Participants will also
learn various business acquisitions including basic accounting, product marketing and services, as well as presentation
ideas and business plans. Finally, in Phase 3 - Participants who passed Phase 1 and Phase 2 will carry out business based
on the Business Plan presented to the current Panel of Assessors in Phase 2. The business development of participants in
this phase will be guided and monitored through the Buddy System by the Business Counselor SME Corp. Malaysia.
The 12-month coaching and monitoring period seeks to ensure TUBErs receive adequate advisory services, so that the
business will continue to be resilient and sustainable. All successful participants will be eligible to apply a start-up
business grant worth RM15,000.
Since 2014, 2,433 youths underwent training, with 99% of them or 2419 has registered new businesses. From these, SME
Corp recorded a RM54.6mil in sales while creating 4,414 new jobs in the same period. In 2018, about 2,000 participants
has joined the TUBE program executed at 15 different locations all over Malaysia. This program was jointly organized
by government agencies, universities and industry partners (Utusan Borneo Online, 2018).
During the Phase 2, universities were responsible to conduct the training session. A special entrepreneurship and
business management module was built to expose participants about this. USIM lecturers was assigned to handle
TUBErs in Negeri Sembilan. About 115 participants had joined TUBE in Negeri Sembilan located at Ulu Pari PLKN
Camp.
IV. Helping Attitudes Scale
According to Nickell (1998), helping attitude can be defined as the beliefs, feelings and behavior related to helping
people. Helping Attitudes Scale (HAS) is a multidimensional attitude scale. It has been used to gauge the helping
attitudes in many demographic layers. A study was conducted by Hafsah Jan to gauge the helping attitude of
professional and non-professional college students in Kashmir, India. The study revealed that female possesses better
helping attitude than male and also found that both professional and non-professional female college students have
better helping attitudes than their male counterparts (Jan, 2017). Another study found that there is a significant

correlation between helping attitude and purpose in life in older widowed women living with their families (Fernandes,
Sanyal, & Fatima, 2015). In another research, it was concluded that helping attitude can be taught and learnt through
exercises (Buragohain & Sonowal, 2016).
V. Methodology
The study was conducted on 115 startup companies owners who participated under Tunas UsahawanBeliaBumiputera
(TUBE 5.0) organized by SME Corporation, an agency under the Ministry of International Trade and Industries,
Malaysia in early March 2018. The rate of return on the questionnaires was 48%. The study is an exploratory study. The
sample was selected through purposive sampling technique. The researchers used the Helping Attitude Scale (HAS) by
Gary S. Nickell. It is a scale with 20-item to measure respondents’ belief, feelings, and behaviors associated with helping
others which includes 14 positive and 6 negative items. The range of scores on this scale extended from 20 to 100 with
neutral score of 60 (Buragohain & Sonowal, 2016). The summation of all scores earned on all statements was taken as the
total Helping Attitude score. Each item is answered on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5
(strongly agree).
VI. Results
The mean for this Helping Attitude among Startup is 86.76 with a Standard Deviation of 8.604. The range of score is
between 67 to100. The mean for Male is slightly higher than the Female at 89.03 compared to 84.04. It indicated that men
has a more positive attitude towards helping. This is in contract with research done by Nickell, G. in 1998 (Nickell,
1998).

do while 32.7% agreed to that statement. 3.6% neither agree nor disagree with that statement.
VII. Discussions and Conclusions
Even previous research as mentioned earlier showed that women have the tendency to help others more than men,
specifically for this study, it was revealed that the opposite was true. From this study, it is also found that the allocation
of fund for the needy is higher for men compared to women. The result could be further refined if the response rate is
higher than 48%. Another interesting finding was that most of the respondents have only started their business 1 year or
less. This might be another contributing factor. One might argue that they need money to help people and the first few
years of establishment is where the money is needed the most. In conclusion, encouraging startups to help people
especially in their foundation years can create a strong inner voluntary trait. Helping others is a very important personal
trait in which a person is concerned about the welfare of others. Entrepreneurs should be passionate about their ideas,
goals and, of course, their companies. Further analysis might give the researchers and the audience a better
understanding and insights on this issue.

A Study on Helping Attitude among Startups

  • 1. www.theijbmt.com 121|Page The International Journal of Business Management and Technology, Volume 2 Issue 5 September-October 2018 ISSN: 2581-3889 Research Article Open Access A Study on Helping Attitude among Startups Mohammad Noorizzuddin Nooh, DrUmmiSalwa Ahmad Bustamam Faculty of Economics and Muamalat, Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia Abstract: Helping others is considered and sometimes expected to be a voluntary act. This behavior can be characterized as a helpful behavior that does not expect something in return. In general, the behavior of helping others would create a conducive environment especially when being instilled at an early stage of entrepreneurial journey. The study was conducted on 115 startup companies owners who participated under Tunas UsahawanBeliaBumiputera (TUBE 5.0) organized by SME Corporation, an agency under the Ministry of International Trade and Industries, Malaysia in early March 2018. The rate of return on the questionnaires was 48%. The objective is to find and compare the helping attitude of startups based on several demographic factors. The sample was selected through purposive sampling technique. The researchers used the Helping Attitude Scale (HAS) by Gary S. Nickell. It is a scale with 20-item to measure respondents’ belief, feelings, and behaviors associated with helping others. The data was analyzed using Cross tabulation analysis. Based on the simple analyses, it is revealed that male startup owners possess better helping attitude than their female counterparts. Further analysis might give the researchers and the audience a better understanding and insights on this issue. Keywords: Startups; Helping Attitude Scale; TUBE; I. Introduction Startups are parts of an economic ecosystem in any given country. In the past couple of years Malaysian startup ecosystem has incubated a great number of amazing startups that has attracted some of the top investors. The Malaysian startup scene is growing at a powerful speed according to 2016 statistics. Investments were up to US$1.45 billion (MYR6.5 billion) in 2016, according to the Malaysia’s Security Commission Annual Report 2016 (Pagan Research, 2018). Helping others is a very important personal trait in which a person is concerned about the welfare of others. Entrepreneurs should be passionate about their ideas, goals and, of course, their companies. This passion is what drives them to do what they do. Some entrepreneurs love the adventure and excitement of creating something new, and once it is established they lose interest and move on to something else. Other entrepreneurs feel passionately about the product they are constructing or the sense of accomplishment they feel because they know they are helping other people, helping animals or helping the planet. II. Defining Startups According to Neil Blumenthal, co-founder and co-CEO of Warby Parker, “A startup is a company working to solve a problem where the solution is not obvious and success is not guaranteed” (Robehmed, 2018). According to the Indian Government, a startup can be defined as any business entity that has been incorporated 5 years or less, turnover for any of the financial years has not exceeded Rupees 25 crore, and is working towards innovation, development, deployment or commercialization of new products, processes or services driven by technology or intellectual property (Marg & Kunj, 2016). Startups are companies with a limited operating history. This company, in general has just been created, and is still in the development and market research phase. The term 'startup' has become popular internationally since the dot-com bubble when many internet-based companies have sprung up. Tech-startup is a startup that specializes in the high-tech industry. Startups can have various forms, but the term "startup company" is often associated with companies that are fast-growing and technology-oriented. Investors are attracted to new companies which are clearly
  • 2. www.theijbmt.com 122|Page A Study on Helping Attitude among Startups characterized by their risk and scalability. So, this startup tends to have a lower 'bootstrapping cost', higher risk, and a higher potential for ROI-return on investment. Successful startups are usually more 'scalable' than established businesses, meaning startups have the potential to grow faster with limited capital, labor or land investment. III. Background of Bumiputera Youth Entrepreneurs Program (TUBE) The Bumiputera Youth Entrepreneurs Program or Tunas UsahawanBeliaBumiputera (TUBE) program is a government initiative to encourage the generation of youths to venture into business. It was launched during the Bumiputera Youth Entrepreneurs Congress organized by Ministry of International Trade and Industry of Malaysia (MITI) on 27-29 March 2014. During the Congress’ closing ceremony on 29 March 2014, the Prime Minister announced an allocation of RM10 million to SME Corporation Malaysia (SME Corp) to implement the TUBE Program in 2014 (Bahagian Teknologi Maklumat, SME Corp. Malaysia, 2018). The program directly supports the nation’s youth development policy where entrepreneurship is one of the key areas of focus for youth to move forward. SME Corp is committed to producing 12,000 young Bumiputera entrepreneurs through the TUBE Mega by 2020. Through the implementation of the TUBE Mega program, an estimated 37,000 new job opportunities could be created that could generate RM1.1 billion of accumulated sales value and contributed RM450 million to Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The program targets Bumiputera youths between the ages of 18 and 30 who have deep interest in engaging in entrepreneurship, especially youths who have basic skills certificates from local training institutions or skills centers. The main objective of the TUBE Program is to 1) nurturing and cultivating entrepreneurial spirit among youths, 2) youth paradigm shift from job seeker to owner or business entrepreneur; and 3) forming resilience and identity among youth in managing their own businesses. This TUBE program is specially designed to prepare youth who want to start a business to have mental and physical resilience, as well as being exposed to the real world business landscape and challenges. This is done through three phases of implementation. In Phase 1, eligible participants will follow bootcamp- based military basic physical training to test the power of the mind, learn how to make strategic decisions, courage, leadership characterization and teamwork spirit. This is in preparation for the many challenges that will be faced while doing business. Selection of participants was strictly conducted via interview session to ensure only highly motivated participants will join the program. Next, during the Phase 2, participants will be exposed to the latest business landscape; including information on the types of assistance and facilities provided by various ministries and agencies to start a business. Participants will also learn various business acquisitions including basic accounting, product marketing and services, as well as presentation ideas and business plans. Finally, in Phase 3 - Participants who passed Phase 1 and Phase 2 will carry out business based on the Business Plan presented to the current Panel of Assessors in Phase 2. The business development of participants in this phase will be guided and monitored through the Buddy System by the Business Counselor SME Corp. Malaysia. The 12-month coaching and monitoring period seeks to ensure TUBErs receive adequate advisory services, so that the business will continue to be resilient and sustainable. All successful participants will be eligible to apply a start-up business grant worth RM15,000. Since 2014, 2,433 youths underwent training, with 99% of them or 2419 has registered new businesses. From these, SME Corp recorded a RM54.6mil in sales while creating 4,414 new jobs in the same period. In 2018, about 2,000 participants has joined the TUBE program executed at 15 different locations all over Malaysia. This program was jointly organized by government agencies, universities and industry partners (Utusan Borneo Online, 2018). During the Phase 2, universities were responsible to conduct the training session. A special entrepreneurship and business management module was built to expose participants about this. USIM lecturers was assigned to handle TUBErs in Negeri Sembilan. About 115 participants had joined TUBE in Negeri Sembilan located at Ulu Pari PLKN Camp. IV. Helping Attitudes Scale According to Nickell (1998), helping attitude can be defined as the beliefs, feelings and behavior related to helping people. Helping Attitudes Scale (HAS) is a multidimensional attitude scale. It has been used to gauge the helping attitudes in many demographic layers. A study was conducted by Hafsah Jan to gauge the helping attitude of professional and non-professional college students in Kashmir, India. The study revealed that female possesses better helping attitude than male and also found that both professional and non-professional female college students have better helping attitudes than their male counterparts (Jan, 2017). Another study found that there is a significant

In another research, it was concluded that helping attitude can be taught and learnt through exercises (Buragohain & Sonowal, 2016). V. Methodology The study was conducted on 115 startup companies owners who participated under Tunas UsahawanBeliaBumiputera (TUBE 5.0) organized by SME Corporation, an agency under the Ministry of International Trade and Industries, Malaysia in early March 2018. The rate of return on the questionnaires was 48%. The study is an exploratory study. The sample was selected through purposive sampling technique. The researchers used the Helping Attitude Scale (HAS) by Gary S. Nickell. It is a scale with 20-item to measure respondents’ belief, feelings, and behaviors associated with helping others which includes 14 positive and 6 negative items. The range of scores on this scale extended from 20 to 100 with neutral score of 60 (Buragohain & Sonowal, 2016). The summation of all scores earned on all statements was taken as the total Helping Attitude score. Each item is answered on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). VI. Results The mean for this Helping Attitude among Startup is 86.76 with a Standard Deviation of 8.604. The range of score is between 67 to100. The mean for Male is slightly higher than the Female at 89.03 compared to 84.04. It indicated that men has a more positive attitude towards helping. This is in contract with research done by Nickell, G. in 1998 (Nickell, 1998).

VII. Discussions and Conclusions Even previous research as mentioned earlier showed that women have the tendency to help others more than men, specifically for this study, it was revealed that the opposite was true. From this study, it is also found that the allocation of fund for the needy is higher for men compared to women. The result could be further refined if the response rate is higher than 48%. Another interesting finding was that most of the respondents have only started their business 1 year or less. This might be another contributing factor. One might argue that they need money to help people and the first few years of establishment is where the money is needed the most. In conclusion, encouraging startups to help people especially in their foundation years can create a strong inner voluntary trait.
