Food product packaging plays a pivotal role in attracting the customers. There are many quality products produced by Small and Medium Industry (SMI) entrepreneurs which had failed to penetrate the market. The situation is due to the unattractive packaging appearance and does not meet packaging standards. Moreover, the use of imprecise packaging materials and ineffective packaging methods may have shorten the lifespan of the products. Therefore, it is important for SMI entrepreneurs to embark on innovative packaging features in order to increase their sales and products' life span. Entrepreneurs' innovative capability normally can be assumed to be driven by PSiKKIT factors, which comprise of the knowledge, attitudes, awareness, financial, institutional networking and technology. The focus of this study is to analyze previous literatures pertaining to the PSiKKIT factors which had drived entrepreneurs towards innovative packaging. The finding in the present study indicates that PSiKKIT factors can motivate SMI's entrepreneurs to be more creative and innovative in food packaging. The PSiKKIT factors are parallel with the application of Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) argument that used to deliberate the act of intended human behaviors. The behaviors can be planned assuming all human behaviors occurred consciously and by considering available information. Thus, in can be conclude that the PKiKKIT factors can be a necessary tools that can motivate the SMI's entrepreneurs to create their product packaging innovatively that would strategically improve their market performance. Moreover, the information gathered from the literature has improve our basal understanding on how TPB can be integrated in the marketing field.
The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between knowledge, attitude, awareness, finance, institutional networking and technology (PSiKKIT) factors and packaging innovation behavior among micro-food entrepreneurs. This study uses a Theory of Planned Behavior is appropriate to be applied in the marketing area and entrepreneurs behavior context. A total of 40 micro entrepreneurs on food under agency guidance in Selangor were selected as a sample through a systematic random sampling technique. The instruments of this study using questionnaires that have been validated by expert to evaluate and have good reliability. The data were analyzed statistically inference using Pearson’s correlating test and multiple linear regression techniques. The findings indicate that there is a significant high and positive linear relationship between institutional networking, attitude, awareness and packaging innovation behavior. On the other hand, knowledge, finance and technology indicate non-significant relationship. The findings of this study also reported that the combination of predictor variables PSiKKIT contributed significantly to the behavior of packaging innovation. In fact, the institutional networking as the dominant predictor factor contributes to the innovation behavior of packaging. The implications of this study have been that the factors of PSiKKIT and the behavior of packaging innovations have different influences. The study also suggested that guidance agencies should focus more on institutional networks, raising awareness, financial support and technology support to promote the practice of packaging innovation among micro-food entrepreneurs.
