Prevention Methods

Motorcycle-related road accidents are the most frequent cause of road traffic injuries reported in Malaysia. One of the key approaches of the Safe System strategy used internationally to address the road casualty reduction goals and targets for interim and long term planning was by improving the vehicle safety system. In this study, feedback regarding the prevention methods that could help reduce the occurrence of motorcycle accidents was obtained from drivers and motorcyclists. In total, five components of safety prevention methods were established and quantitative data were measured from a set of questionnaires distributed all over Malaysia. The questionnaires were designed to understand the public perception on effective methods to address the current road safety issues. Items in the questionnaire were analysed by Structural Equation Modelling using AMOS 25.0 to enable an informed decision based on the data obtained. The primary objectives of this study are to assess the validity and reliability of the measurement model using structural equation modelling based on the public perception of motorcyclists safety prevention methods. In this study, all the measurement models achieved their validity and reliability at the required level. The fitness index based on CR and AVE values were higher than 0.50, thereby indicating that the measurement model achieved the level of acceptance required. In addition, the constructed variables were statistically significant based on the factor loading values that were greater than 0.6 for each construct.

Abstract Bridges are an important part of a road network system, so they need to be kept functioning properly. Bridge preservation is one of the important and fundamental types of handling to maintain the condition of the bridge in good condition and restore the condition of the bridge to its original capacity so that it can serve effectively. The purpose of this study is to identify the contribution of the influence of factors and variables that affect the quality of the implementation of bridge preservation. Data analysis was based on the results of a survey of respondents who came from service users, service providers and the public who had been involved in implementing bridge preservation. The analysis was conducted using the Structural Equation Modeling method. The results showed that the implementation of bridge preservation factors and variables that influence the implementation of bridge preservation influence on the achievement of the quality of the bridge preserva-tion of 60.6%. The contribution of the influence of the factors that affect the quality of the implementation of the bridge preservation is the human resource factor contributing to the effect of 89.4%, a material factor of 81.8%, a method factor of 80.7%, a tool factor of 68.7%, a factor financial contribution of 54.0%, and environmental factors contributed an influence of 53.1%. To realize good quality achievements, the parties involved in implementing bridge preservation must pay attention to 6 factors and 33 important variables to be able to support these quality achievements. Keywords: bridge preservation; Structural Equation Modelling; influence contribution; quality achievement.  Abstrak Jembatan merupakan bagian yang penting dalam suatu sistem jaringan jalan, sehingga perlu dijaga agar tetap berfungsi dengan baik.

This chapter discusses applications of structural equation modelling (SEM, or causal modelling) in clinical and health psychology research. It outlines path diagrams, measurement models, structural models, the inclusion of latent variables, validity (factorial and construct), and measurement invariance. Structural hypotheses are also explored, along with caveats for the use of SEM.

SUMMARYStructural equation modelling and survey data were used to test determinants' influence on farmers' intentions towards Escherichia coli O157 on-farm control. Results suggest that farmers more likely to show willingness to spend money/time or vaccinate to control Escherichia coli O157 are those: who think farmers are most responsible for control; whose income depends more on opening farms to the public; with stronger disease control attitudes; affected by outbreaks; with better knowledge and more informed; with stronger perceptions of biosecurity measures’ practicality; using a health plan; who think farmers are the main beneficiaries of control; and whose farms are dairy rather than beef. The findings might suggest that farmers may implement on-farm controls for E. coli O157 if they identify a clear hazard and if there is greater knowledge of the safety and efficacy of the proposed controls.

Orientation: The exhibition of organisation citizenship behaviour (OCB) by teachers is of great benefit for human capital development. Teachers’ perceptions of school principals as servant leaders play a critical role in their psychological empowerment and exhibition of OCBs.Research purpose: The goal of the study was to analyse the relationship between servant leadership, psychological empowerment and OCB of teachers in the South African school system.Motivation for the study: Teachers are usually under pressure to attend to the academic needs of the learners, which may be required either during normal working hours or after hours. This has necessitated the need to investigate the role played by a school principal’s servant leadership style in influencing the exhibition of OCBs.Research approach/design and method: A non-probability sample of 203 teachers drawn from selected schools in the Western Cape Province of South Africa was utilised. Item and dimensional analysis as well as structural equation modelling were performed on the data.Main findings: The constructs of servant leadership, psychological empowerment and OCB displayed high levels of internal consistency. Generally, a reasonable model fit was found for the structural and measurement models of the latent variables through confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling. Positive relationships were found between servant leadership, psychological empowerment and OCB.Practical/managerial implications: A principal’s servant leadership approach is likely to promote teacher empowerment and development as it enables the principal to develop teachers to their fullest potential through mentoring and coaching. The teachers are likely to respond with OCB, which benefits the learners and society at large.Contribution/value-add: Schools face the challenge of motivating teachers. One of the ways of achieving this objective is by encouraging servant leadership amongst principals. Servant leadership promotes positive outcomes and extra-role behaviours.

Objective - The main objective of this empirical study was to validate a substantiated Principals' Developmental Leadership Behaviors Model (PDLBM) and an instrument to identify critical components of Principals' Developmental Leadership Behaviors (PDLB) in Malaysian secondary schoolcontext. Methodology/Technique - Structural Equation Modelling was employed to test the model. Exploratory Factor Analysis was applied to identify the underlying factors, whereas Confirmatory Factor Analysis was employed to test the measurement models. Findings - The analysis yielded a three-factor PDLBM: (1) focused, (2) supportive and (3) developer which supported evidence for convergent validity, construct reliability and discriminant validity. Novelty - The PDLBM is a coherent premier tested model derived in a local Malaysian cultural educational setting which provides direction for practitioners in planning and designing specific training programs for developing leadership competency among teacher leaders, with the enhancement of PDLB in Malaysian secondary schools. Type of Paper - Empirical Keywords : Principals' Developmental Leadership Behaviors; Structural Equation Modelling; Focused; Supportive; Developer; Teacher Leaders.

Proposed Model

The public sector in UAE is the focus of this paper. Applying the concept of job satisfaction to examine its effect on employees’ affective organizational commitment. The data was collected from 452 officers from 7 sectors in the ministry of interior in UAE and analysed using structural equation modelling via SmartPLS 3.0. The result showed that job satisfaction has a positive impact on affective organizational commitment. The proposed model explained 11.4% of the variance in employees’ affective organizational commitment.
