Risky riding behaviours among p-hailing riders in Malaysia: Implications for business operations and workforce safety in the Gig economy

2025-02 , Muhammad Safizal Abdullah , Adi Anuar Azmin , Muhammad Asyraf Mohd Kassim

Road accidents involving p-hailing riders have become a pressing issue for both road safety and gig economy operations, as these workers juggle demanding delivery schedules under challenging urban conditions. This study aims to identify which specific unsafe acts, rather than aggregate categories, are most frequently performed by p-hailing riders in Malaysia. Adopting a quantitative, descriptive approach, the research employed stratified sampling across Penang, Kedah, and Perlis, followed by convenience sampling at rider-frequented locations to secure a diverse sample. Data were collected via a self-administered survey using a validated 12-item Risky Riding Behaviour (RRB) scale, measured on a 5-point Likert scale. Analysis revealed key risky behaviours, including accelerating at nearly red traffic lights, riding faster than usual during deliveries, and disregarding traffic signs. Younger riders, those with less experience, and individuals working longer hours or greater distances, as well as those relying on p-hailing as a primary income source, reported notably higher levels of these unsafe practices. Drawing on Moral Disengagement Theory, the findings show how riders rationalise their actions as necessary responses to time pressure, financial imperatives, or job demands. Based on these insights, the study recommends hazard perception training, safety-focused incentive programmes, improved workload management, and time-of-day-specific enforcement. From a theoretical perspective, the item-level analysis refines our understanding of moral disengagement by demonstrating how distinct behaviours are selectively justified. Ultimately, this research offers actionable guidance for enhancing rider safety and ensuring sustainable, efficient operations in the p-hailing sector.

2022-10 , Aidil Hanafi , Wan Mashumi Wan Mustafa , Muhammad Asyraf Mohd Kassim , Muhammad Safizal Abdullah , Nurshahirah Salehuddin

Profits are necessary for the survival of every business in the world. However, it may be difficult if the company is unable to attract new customers or meet their demands, particularly in a competitive market dominated by vehicle businesses that may rely on monthly sales to survive. Therefore, it is vital to determine the elements that influence vehicle transportation purchase intention. To this end, this study utilised a quantitative approach and questionnaires were sent to residents in Malaysia's central region. Successfully gathered 381 questionnaires, which were distributed to the respondents. Analyses were performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software and Smart Partial Least Square (PLS) software. Demographic analysis was executed by using SPSS and Smart PLS to test the measurement and structural model. Various variables were analysed, including customers’ belief, product quality, brand information, and customers’ perception, that might influence purchase intention. According to the study's findings, customers’ beliefs, brand information, and customers’ perception had a substantial positive relationship with purchase intention. Explanation of the current research offers substantial theoretical and practical value and ideas for increasing vehicle company clients and sales.

Road accident proneness among motorcyclist in Malaysia: a structural equation modeling approach

2022-10 , Aidil Hanafi Amirrudin , Muhammad Asyraf Mohd Kassim , Muhammad Safizal Abdullah , Wan Mashumi Wan Mustafa , Mohd Fitri M.

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.

Road accident proneness in Malaysia: A hypothesized model of driver's demographic profiles, aggressive driving and risky driving

2021-05-03 , Muhammad Asyraf Mohd Kassim , Hanan S.A. , Muhammad Safizal Abdullah , Hong C.P.

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.

Assessing the factors affecting road accident involvement among motorcycle riders using partial least squares structural equation modeling approach

2023-06-12 , Amiruddin A.H. , Muhammad Asyraf Mohd Kassim , Muhammad Safizal Abdullah , Hanan S.A. , Wan Mashumi Wan Mustafa

This research investigates the factors that influence high numbers of road fatalities and accidents among motorcycle riders. This study proposes a conceptual framework that illustrates how high-risk road users, such as motorcycle riders, can prevent road accidents by fostering high-impact preventive countermeasures for sustainable traffic safety. Several critical variables on road user behavior related to road accident involvement are presented in a conceptual framework. The proposed conceptual framework suggested that behavioral factors such as anger, attitude, and sensation seeking affect the motorcycle riders' involvement in a road accident. Additionally, mindfulness plays an important mediating role between behavioral factors and road accident involvement. The proposed framework considers a comprehensive set of reviews rarely discussed in the existing literature. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was proposed to evaluate the proposition of the latent variables and their influence on road accident involvement. The proposed path model indicated that mindfulness has a strategic role in reducing road accident involvement, having an indirect effect through riding anger, attitude and sensation seeking. The study could benefit transportation authorities and agencies in Malaysia to execute high-impact countermeasures to reduce road accident involvement among motorcyclists in Malaysia.
