Ensuring laboratory safety in universities and research institutions is thus critical. Based on the knowledge, attitude, and practice model, this study examines how student knowledge, attitude, awareness, and organizational commitment impact the effectiveness of laboratory and workshop risk management. Survey data was collected from 251 engineering students from four southern Malaysian polytechnics and analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that knowledge, awareness, and organizational commitment significantly enhance risk management effectiveness, while attitude has no effect. These results emphasize the need for institutions to improve students’ risk management knowledge and awareness to fortify safety measures and risk management strategies against hazards on campus or in the community.

]]> Impact of Size of the Manufacturing Firms on Knowledge Management Practices: An Empirical Analysis /jurnalpengurusan/article/impact-of-size-of-the-manufacturing-firms-on-knowledge-management-practices-an-empirical-analysis/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=impact-of-size-of-the-manufacturing-firms-on-knowledge-management-practices-an-empirical-analysis Sat, 08 Oct 2022 17:55:48 +0000 /jurnalpengurusan/?post_type=article&p=3338 Manufacturing sector is the driver of economic growth of developing countries and employment. Knowledge and knowledge management result in manufacturing excellence by improving productivity and flexibility of the organizations’ operations. This study has identified four fundamental knowledge management processes from the literature, namely knowledge acquisition, knowledge creation, knowledge storage and knowledge sharing that contribute to the growth of the organizations. Thus, we had developed a questionnaire to analyze these processes in the Indian manufacturing sector. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed using LISREL (Linear Structural Relations) software, that is, to test the convergence of the observed variables to each of the knowledge management processes. The results showed a good model fit for all the knowledge managerial processes. Then the data were explored, analyzed and compared with the current status of KM practices with respect to their sizes. It is found that size has a profound impact on the extent of adoption of KM practices.
