“…Until now, such considerations had not been effectively identified and integrated into a single study, prompting this work to fill that gap. However, justifying the use of AHP and SEM models to evaluate the flexibility during the conventional and changing ergonomics is plausible (Al-Hakim and Hassan, 2013;Newaz et al, 2020;Jakhar, 2015Jakhar, , 2017. SEM does not have a limitation on the number of variables.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the factors that influence the improvement of productive work behaviour (PWB) in the dynamic, ergonomic nature.Design/methodology/approachThe analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is used, in experiment 1, to select and prioritise the most relevant criteria for improvement of PWB. A multi-criteria method is used to analyse and compare the importance of four main criteria and 16 sub-criteria identified from previous studies. The structural equation modelling (SEM) is also used to validate the findings of experiment 1.FindingsThis study revealed that not all criteria are considered important for improving PWB. Flexibility and job specifications were the top-scored criteria. These criteria collectively accounted for more than 65% of the four studied criteria. The SEM emphasised the significance of flexibility and job description of the changing dynamics of organisational regulation during the contemporary economic and managerial turmoil.Research limitations/implicationsThis study explored the criteria required to improve PWB. The findings recommend that future studies should be designed to identify new elements and add new criteria and test the newly introduced variables at a physical workplace after the outbreak ends.Practical implicationsKnowledge of the differential impacts of the criteria on the performance of PWB govern decision-makers in private and governmental organisation, especially at such times of economic turmoil and need for innovative strategies.Originality/valueFew studies have explored workplace behaviour and the environment in the government sector. Therefore, the focus of this study is the comprehensive coverage of workplace behaviour and the criteria influencing its productivity before and during the coronavirus outbreak.

“…Human resource capability refers to the stable employment of co-workers, long-term training of multi-skilled workers, wage system based on skill accumulation (experience), internal promotion, employer/employees' relationship, communication and worker motivation (Newaz et al, 2020). In the context of an integrated audit, people are valuable resources for a company where everyone including the management staff are important.…”

“…In the context of an integrated audit, people are valuable resources for a company where everyone including the management staff are important. Newaz et al (2020) reported that auditors and auditees play significant roles in an integrated audit management system. The presence of quality auditors could significantly increase the ability to identify the audit process, such as conformity, and result in increasing the value of the management system (Tirkolaee et al, 2020;Kaziliūnas, 2008).…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of integrated audit management and its impact on business sustainability for an emerging economy. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on the dynamic capability and contingency theory, the authors investigated the factors on integrated audit management implementation using a sample of 104 certified Malaysian manufacturing firms. The collected data has been analysed using the partial least squares through the structural equation modelling technique. Findings The findings have revealed that human resource capability, technological capability and quality capability have a robust influence on the importance of the internal audit process, which, in turn, leads to integrated audit management effectiveness towards the outcome of business sustainability. The results have also indicated the mediating effect of the internal audit process on the research model. Originality/value The contribution from the empirical findings will provide productive insights to help manufacturing firms devise an effective integrated internal audit management system to ensure business sustainability and increase competitiveness advantages for an emerging economy.

“…Supply chain management has become one of the crucial factors in ensuring sustainable business and creating a competitive advantage (Rahman and Zailani, 2017; Shukor et al , 2020; Newaz et al , 2020). Malaysia Investment Development Authority (MIDA) reported that the oil and gas business in Malaysia contributes to about 20% of Malaysia’s gross domestic product (GDP) by 2015 and also holding the fourth highest oil reserves and third-highest natural gas reserve in the Asia-Pacific region (Bernama, 2019).…”

“…The current study focuses on environmental behaviours as one of the main aspects of the sustainable supply chain. Barbosa-Póvoa et al (2018) and Newaz et al (2020) proposed comprehensive research frameworks that identify the needs and characteristics of employee engagement and supply chain management. It is imperative to determine the enablers of engagement in environmental behaviours in energy-related sectors such as the oil and gas as an environment is an essential element in the oil and gas industry.…”

Purpose The aim of this study is to investigate the employee perceptions of organizational support for environmental behaviours and its impact on innovative environmental behaviours and frequency of involvement in upstream oil and gas supply chain management. The study also examines a new area where environmental work culture has been introduced as a facilitator on the relationship between employees’ perceptions and engagement in supply chain management. Design/methodology/approach Self-administered questionnaires were used for collecting data from supply chain managers in production arrangement contractor and service provider company in Kuala Lumpur. Partial least squares was used for data analysis. Findings The findings reveal that supervisory support for environmental initiatives and environmental training is positively related to employees’ perception of organizational support for environmental behaviours, while rewards provided by the organization for environmental behaviours are not associated with it. The employees’ perceptions of organizational support for environmental behaviours have a significant impact on employees’ engagement in environmental behaviours in both forms of employees’ frequency of involvement and employees’ innovative environmental behaviours. The findings also show that environmental work culture moderates positively the impacts of organization’s support practices (supervisory support for environmental initiatives and rewards provided by the organization for environmental) on employees’ perception of organizational support for environmental behaviours. Originality/value The study critically examines the possible impact of enablers of engagement in environmental behaviours and how employees’ perceptions of organizational support reflect their engagement towards environmental behaviours of the organizational practices. The findings are useful for supply chain management practitioners in terms of exerting environmental behaviours and facilitating employees’ environmental behaviours in the upstream oil and gas supply chain management sector.
