“…One of the first limitations of this study is the usage of the cross-sectional approach, as the longitudinal approach adding more samples to the study would yield different interesting insights. Secondly, our respondents may have faced the social-desirability bias ( Braun et al, 2001 ) while reporting their emotions, PsyCap, and academic engagement a common phenomenon reported in past studies also ( Naji et al, 2022a , b ). Although we took measures like keeping the survey anonymous, and confidential, and not asking for the names or identities of respondents in any form, but still there is a tendency for individuals to rate themselves for generally acceptable behavior on a higher side and rate themselves on a lower side for undesirable/socially in appreciated actions/norms.…”

AimThe current study attempted to assess the effect of positive emotion on post-graduate students’ psychological capital (PsyCap) as well as on their academic engagement behavior. Also, the direct relationship between PsyCap and academic engagement behavior was assessed alongside the presence of Stress as a moderating variable between PsyCap and academic engagement behavior amongst post-graduate students in Malaysia.Materials and MethodsA self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection from 373 post-graduate Ph.D. students registered in various universities throughout Malaysia with a non-probabilistic sampling technique. Research respondents belonged to management, humanities, engineering, computer science, and health sciences domains, and they responded through a questionnaire copy. Statistically, structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied to evaluate confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), reliability analysis, validity analysis, measurement model, structural model, and path analysis. Furthermore, the (5000) bootstrapping approach was utilized to test the final model.ResultsFor the hypothesized model, our results confirmed that positive emotions had a positive and significant effect on students’ psychological capita as well as on their academic engagement behavior. Further, PsyCap also had a positive and significant effect on academic engagement behavior. Our results also reported that stress as a moderating variable has a negative and deteriorating effect on the relationship between PsyCap and the academic engagement of students.ConclusionThe study’s findings support the theoretical assumption that positive emotions help individuals generate cognitive resources, which in turn help them manage their engagement behavioral requirements. However, the stress caused by their study needs may deplete their psychological resources, consequently influencing their academic engagement behavior. Interventions like personal coaching/counseling, appropriate follow-up, and flexible goal settings with other measures may help post-graduate students in achieving their daunting tasks.

IntroductionBuildings and infrastructure are the primary focus of the construction industry, which also includes related activities such as design, planning, demolition, renovation, maintenance, and repair. Safety performance is crucial to the industry's ability to work effectively in spite of hazardous conditions on the job site during any given project. Improving construction workers' safety performance in Malaysia requires an in-depth examination of the interplay between workers' psychological capital, work pressure, employee engagement, and safety participation.MethodsAdministrative and field workers from different divisions across Malaysia's six regions were randomly sampled to collect data for this study. The workers were given a total of 500 questionnaires, of which 345 were returned to the team of researchers. Based on the data analysis, there is an effective interaction between the factors tested toward safety performance.ResultsAccording to findings, psychological capital positively and significantly affected workers' work engagement. Also, work engagement greatly impacted both workers' safety performance outcomes. Also, as expected, worker pressure significantly and negatively affected workers' safety performance.DiscussionInsights gained from this research have helped us better organize work and involve employees in safety activities/policies to boost workplace safety performance. The study also suggested that firms should reduce their employees' workloads because doing so would not lower their Psychological Capital but would instead fortify them to better carry out their duties in a risk-free manner.

“…Unsatisfactory safety culture practices in the construction sector contributed to the high rate of accidents (Wu et al, 2016). This is the result of the contractor's attitude and their lack of awareness of the need to develop safety culture practices on construction sites (Naji et al, 2022). Most Malaysian contractors fail to create a culture of safety on the job site, especially among management and lower-level staff (Zaira & Hadikusumo, 2020).…”

A safety management attitude is essential to create a safety culture at construction sites. The construction sector was known to have a high risk of site accidents. Then, preventing the risk of accidents requires the implementation of safety culture measures. A safety culture acts as a guide to decrease the risk. This study aims to assess the safety management attitudes toward safety culture at construction sites. A sample of 376 respondents was recruited to complete the questionnaires regarding management commitment, safety procedures, and compliance with safety culture. The SPSS 24.0 and AMOS 24.0 software were used to conduct the data analysis. The findings demonstrated that management commitment, safety procedure, and safety compliance significantly and positively affected safety culture (p-value< 0.05). Thus, adequate implementation of a safety culture was ensured to decrease the accidents at the construction site and achieve zero industrial accidents.
