Workplace safety practices are vital for the well-being of both employees and employers, particularly in hazardous industries. The present study aims to design and validate a scale to assess the Safety Engineering Systems (SES) practices in Major Hazardous Industries (MHI). Based on the primary components identified through an empirical literature review, a survey instrument was developed and distributed among the employees of sample MHI's in Karnataka. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA), was conducted to measure the validity and reliability of the questionnaire. Using 'R' software, Partial Least Square Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) was carried out to confirm the results of EFA. The outcome emphasizes the relevance of SES prominence in risk analysis of hazardous industries.

This study examined the effect of job involvement on job performance and organizational commitment as mediation. This study involved 135 respondents and using saturated sample which take all employee become a respondents. Likert Scale is used as a balanced assessment questionnaires and using validity and reliability for testing questionaires. The analysis tool in the research is Structural Equation Model (SEM) which using a variance-based approach with Partial Least Square (PLS) as well as to test the mediating variable VAF to testing.

Restoration experience is a positive response against the ever-increasing problem of stress. It is recovery of attentional capacity, clearing random thoughts and feelings of relaxation and calmness. Although there is a body of research on investigating the impact of open green space characteristics on psycho- logical restoration through attention restoration theory and supportive environment theory, there is little knowledge on how the interaction among these characteristics could promote restorative outcomes. To address this problem, using Perceived Sensory Dimension (PSD) for open green space qualities and Perceived Restorativeness (PR) as the property of restorative environment, this study assessed the extent to which the PSD and PR impact on restoration experience. Using 444 screened surveys, a Partial Least Square Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) was developed and the validity and reliability of it, was demonstrated. Extensive analysis of the results showed how environmental qualities can promote restoration experience using a sample of university students. These results provide information for landscape architecture and planning researchers to promote the development of open spaces as a resource of psychological restoration and stress relief.

<p class="MDPI17abstract"><strong>Objective: </strong>This study aim was to analyze the influence of technical service (TS) role, performance, technical, and innovation on the broiler partnership to farmer empowerment.</p><p class="MDPI17abstract"><strong>Methods: </strong>Sampling technique used was proportionate random sampling with 145 respondents. The analysis technique used in this study was variance-based structural equation model (SEM) or Component based SEM of Partial Least Square (PLS).<strong></strong></p><p class="MDPI17abstract"><strong>Results</strong><strong>: </strong>Based on descriptive quantification (scale Likert 1-5, very bad-very good), it was obtained that the variable role of TS had an average of 4.00 which can be interpreted that the farmers assessment to TS role is good. The TS performance variables have an average of 3.92 which mean farmers evaluated it as good enough. TS innovation variables have an average of 3.93 which means good enough. The farmer empowerment variable has an average of 3.96 which can be interpreted as good enough. Validity and reliability test results indicate the instrument is worth to use. In structural model test, the results based on R<sup>2</sup> (0.734, 0.733 and 0.764), GoF (0.744) and Q<sup>2</sup>(0.983) show the SEM model is worth to use.<strong></strong></p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>There is a significant influence of the role, performance and innovation of TS partially on the empowerment of farmers and there is a significant influence of the role and innovation to TS performance.

This study aims is to test and analyze the influence of motivation on employee performance mediated by job satisfaction. This research was conducted at PT Smailing Tour Denpasar with population and research sample of all permanent employees that is 90 people. All data obtained from the kuisoner distribution is feasible to be used, then analyzed using a variance based structural equation model known as Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis. The result of the research shows that (1) the motivation has positive and significant effect on the employee's performance, (2) the motivation has positive and significant effect on the job satisfaction, (3) the job satisfaction has positive and significant effect to the employee's performance; (4) the motivation has positive and significant effect on employee performance through job satisfaction. The implication of this research is that motivation can be improved by taking into account the need for workplace environment to improve employee performance, job satisfaction can be improved by paying attention to the work itself in order to increase employee performance. Employee performance can be improved by taking into account the effectiveness of employees.

Google classroom can work in unidirectional process as it can serve the teachers’ strategies and styles on one hand and students’ perception, understanding, and effective participation in different classroom skills on the other hand. The ac-ceptance of Google classroom is affected by different factors. Some of them are still not clearly specified and discussed in previous research; therefore, they need further investigation. Based on the previous assumption, this study is an attempt to examine the factors that affect the students’ acceptance of Google classroom at Al Buraimi University College (BUC) in Oman. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was adopted to formulate the hypotheses of the current study. The data was collected through an online questionnaire with 337 respondents. The Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) approach was used to assess both the measurement and structural models. The results of the study prove that both the perceived ease of use (PEOU) and perceived usefulness (PU) positively influence the behavioral intention, which in turn influence the actual usage of Google classrooms. This study helps the decision makers of the higher educational institutions to have a better understanding of the effectiveness of us-ing Google classroom by their students. It is assumed that it helps in measuring the level of students’ acceptance to the previously mentioned technology.
