    This study investigates the impact of time pressure on risky riding behaviour among p-hailing riders in Malaysia, with moral disengagement as a mediating factor. Drawing on Bandura's Moral Disengagement Theory and the Job Demand-Resources (JD-R) Model, the research explores how time pressure influences these behaviours. A survey of 200 respondents, selected through stratified convenience sampling, was conducted across three Northern States in Malaysia, namely Perlis, Kedah, and Penang. Data analysis using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) reveals that time pressure significantly increases risky riding behaviour, with moral disengagement significantly mediates this relationship. The study finds that younger and less experienced riders are particularly susceptible to time pressure effects. Demographic data indicate that 80% of riders are under 35 years old, with 75% having less than three years of experience. Based on these findings, the research emphasises the need for targeted interventions, including specialised training programmes and improved workload management strategies, to mitigate risks associated with p-hailing. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of the role of a cognitive mechanism factor in influencing risky riding behaviours among p-hailing riders and provides valuable insights for enhancing road safety measures. Future research directions are suggested, including exploration of additional cognitive mechanisms that may impact risky riding behaviours in this context.

    Occupational accidents have resulted in numerous fatalities and injuries across industrialized and developing nations. Every year, millions of workers lose their lives and suffer from non-fatal injuries due to occupational accidents. Inadequate documentation and notification systems, particularly in developing countries, have resulted in ineffective measures to address occupational accidents, leading to the absence of globally recognized standards for addressing occupational accidents. Organizations still rely on baseline occupational safety measures statistics to enhance worker safety, despite the underreporting of accident data. This study aimed to develop an extended safety model to investigate the effects of safety behavior in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) manufacturing in Malaysia. Research priorities and questions on determinants of workplace safety behavior can be explored by utilizing the model, resulting in a more focused and efficient approach to improving workplace safety. This model serves as a valuable tool for informing policies and practices necessary to protect and enhance workplace safety and workers' well-being.

    Road traffic accidents involving motorcyclists are a significant public health issue in Malaysia, with p‐hailing riders particularly vulnerable. This study investigates the influence of riding distraction on risky riding behavior among p‐hailing riders in Malaysia, focusing on the mediating role of moral disengagement. Drawing on Bandura’s Moral Disengagement Theory and the Job Demand‐Resources (JD‐R) model, this research explores how distractions, such as mobile phone use and navigation adjustments, contribute to moral disengagement and subsequently lead to risky riding behaviors. A sample of 200 p‐hailing riders, representative of the broader rider population, was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS‐SEM) to test the hypothesized relationships. The findings reveal that riding distraction significantly increases risky riding behavior and that this relationship is partially mediated by moral disengagement. These results underscore the importance of addressing external distractions and cognitive justifications to improve road safety among p‐hailing riders. The study recommends implementing specific interventions such as strict mobile phone usage policies and targeted training programs to reduce risky behaviors. These findings have the potential to inform policy and enhance safety practices for p‐hailing riders, thereby reducing the incidence of road traffic accidents in this high‐risk group.

    Road accidents have alarmed Malaysian citizens all over the country. This study proves that a combination of human characteristics may contribute to the increase in the accident rate of motorcyclists on the road. Human characteristics such as riding anger, riding attitude, and lack of mindfulness may be the leading causes of motorcycle accidents. Malaysian road accident proneness research is still in its early phase. This study intends to investigate the relationship between riding anger, riding attitude, mindfulness, and road accident proneness. This study adopts a quantitative methodology employing a questionnaire distributed to visitors of authorised Yamaha dealers in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. The results of structural equation modelling reveal that riding anger, riding attitude, and mindfulness substantially impact road accident proneness. The explanation of the current research contains significant theoretical and practical significance, as well as suggestions for minimising the accident rate of road users.

    Absenteeism is defined as an employee failing to report for duty and being present at work without permission from the employer or a reasonable excuse for such an absence. It can be considered as one of the critical disciplinary cases in the organisation, particularly among employees in manufacturing sectors where it keeps increasing from time to time. Failure to rectify these disciplinary issues contributed to many manufacturing companies suffering more than RM6 billion in yearly costs for man-days lost through the absence of their employees. In view of the above scenario, it is very pertinent to rectify the disciplinary case on an employee’s absenteeism in manufacturing companies in order to reduce the absenteeism rate in the organisations. Thus, the aim of this study is to explore the determinants of employees’ absenteeism, specifically job satisfaction, reward management, working conditions, and employees’ morale in manufacturing companies. This study employed a quantitative approach using a survey. The random sampling procedure technique was used to select 200 employees in manufacturing companies. The findings show that job satisfaction and working conditions influence employee absenteeism in manufacturing companies, but reward management and employee morale have the opposite effect. The findings of the study may have both pragmatic and theoretical implications. Finally, the study also discusses the study’s limitations and recommendations for future research.

    Road accidents are considered one of the most severe threats to the motoring public globally, including Malaysia. There was a considerable number of vehicles involved in road accidents, specifically motorcycles and motorcars. Together, they recorded the highest number of vehicles involved in accidents on Malaysian roads. Malaysian authorities on road safety and transportation have taken numerous efforts such as public education, campaign, and traffic rules enforcement in order to reduce accident rates among the most accident-prone road users, namely drivers of motorcars and motorcycles. However, evidence suggests that accident rates among these accident-prone drivers remain high. Thus, motorcar and motorcycle drivers, by far, remains as high-risk road users on Malaysian road. Many studies in the past attempted to discover factors that contribute to the high number of road accidents among these high-risk drivers. However, these studies were engineering-based, and countermeasures suggested from behavioral studies are still scarce. Therefore, the present study aims to bridge the existing gap. Specifically, this study will propose a conceptual framework to investigate the relationship and influence of behavioral variables on road accident proneness among motorcar and motorcycle drivers. The framework is expected to aid government agencies such as JPJ, PDRM, JKJR, and Ministry of Transport in the planning of effective road safety campaigns, education, and enforcement by targeting a specific group of high-risk road user.
