“…4) Internal locus of control regarding the coronavirus disease 2019 protection refers to the belief that the outcomes one achieves are the consequence of one's own action rather than coincidence or external control. Being opposed to external locus of control, internal locus of control is the belief that one can control or prevent coronavirus disease 2019 by oneself (Rotter, 1966, Bhanthumnavin, 2010…”

The coronavirus disease 2019 protection behavior in the community of juveniles in the northern region can have an impact on the lifestyles of people in the community if the juveniles ignore or do not follow protective measures against coronavirus disease 2019. The research aims to 1) identify significant predictors and prediction of psychological traits and situations involving the coronavirus disease 2019 protection behavior in the community and 2) investigate risk groups and protective factors. The sample consists of 600 juveniles obtained from the multi-stage quota random sampling. The analytic statistics used to test the hypotheses were the enter and stepwise methods of multiple regression analysis and the three - way analysis of variance.The findings revealed that psychological traits, situations, and psychological states can predict 56.80% of the coronavirus disease 2019 protection behavior in the community. The most significant predictor is a positive attitude towards the coronavirus disease 2019 protection behavior (β=.29), followed by future orientation and self-control regarding the coronavirus disease 2019 protection (β=.27), love-reasoned child rearing practice (β=.22), observance of media on the coronavirus disease 2019 protection behaviors (β=.18), observance of their parents’ coronavirus disease 2019 protection behaviors (β=.13), moral disengagement concerning Covid-19 prevention (β=.10), and emotional quotient (β=.08), respectively. Additionally, it was found that male juveniles and juveniles who lack protective equipment are at high risk and require urgent care. The research recommended protective development guideline to raise awareness of juveniles about the coronavirus disease 2019 protection behavior in the community with the coordination of public and civic sectors in the community.

“…An employee's capabilities to react and perform a certain action, whether to approach or avoid a certain situation, are their behavioral instincts. Behavioral attitudes also influence the socioeconomic system in which decision-making occurs and they can change an organization's structural set up [47,49]. On this basis, the following hypothesis has been proposed: Hypothesis 4 (H4).…”

Adoption of Sustainable Technology in the Malaysian SMEs Sector: Does the Role of Government Matter?

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper looks at the role of government as a novel dimension in the adoption of sustainable technology by small and medium enterprises (SME) in Malaysia. This determinant stems from the fact that, in many transitional economies, private sector organizations encounter resource constraints as a barrier to innovation adoption. This is especially the case with sustainable technology incorporated into business operations. Therefore, third party intervention into the adoption process becomes inevitable and it is considered to make the adoption process more effective. A government has both the power and resources to play a pivotal role in the adoption of sustainable technology. Given this state of affairs, this study examines the government’s role as a critical factor in achieving smooth and efficient adoption. The theory of reasoned action (TRA) serves as the theoretical underpinning of this study. The data were collected from a sample of 263 SMEs in Malaysia. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze the data. It was found that government policies and subsidies are critical in encouraging the adoption of sustainable technology in Malaysia. This paper discusses the implications for government-driven adoption of sustainable technology, identifies the limitations of the analysis, and avenues of future research in this very relevant and expanding field.

“…The emergence of challenges to the negative effects of nuclear energy can be answered through education (Bhanthumnavin & Bhanthumnavin, 2014;Han et al, 2014;Brown, 2018;Hartini & Liliasari, 2020;Hartini et al, 2021). The relationship between an understanding of nuclear physics and the world around it, is that a good understanding of nuclear physics helps prepare people to participate in critical discussions in areas such as national security, energy policy, and environmental protection (OECD, 2015).…”

This study aimed to describe students’ problem solving skill in nuclear physics course through the implementation of the Nuclear Physics Inquiry Remote Laboratory (NPIRL). This study employed a pre-experimental quantitative method. The research design was one group pretest-posttest design. The subject of the study was 14 physics students at a university in Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan. In selecting the research subjects, the researchers used purposive sampling technique. The instrument used was a problem-solving skills test in the form of an essay consisting of five questions, and each question consisted of six indicators in problem solving skill according to the Osborn-Parnes Creative Problem Solving (CPS). This research found that the N-gain of students' problem solving skill was 0.32 in the medium category. There are four indicators of problem-solving skills that are categorized as medium: objective finding, fact finding, problem finding and idea finding. Two other low-category indicators are solution finding and acceptance finding. Based on these findings, it is concluded that students’ problem solving skill in nuclear physics course through NPIRL have increased.
