<p class="0abstract"><span lang="EN-US">The rise of novel coronavirus 2019 has shifted the roles of education industry. Face-to-face have become a distant memory; students and educators are now heavily relying on the digital communication. Application such as Google Meet, Webex, Webinar, Stream Yard, Zoom, and many more have become the new norm among educators and students. However, the sudden dependency on the digital technologies raises a question on the user intention to use this new digital technology. Therefore, the objective of this study is to determine the role of self-efficacy and domain knowledge towards user behavioral intention to use online distance learning. An instrument was developed by adopting to previous instruments and was analyze using Statistical Package for Social Science and SmartPLS for inferential analysis. Findings shows that the exogenous variables are capable to explained between 47.8% to 68.1% of the endogenous variables.</span></p>

Novel Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) has shifted the educational landscape for the past year. Face-to-face interaction has become a distant memory. It signals the emergence of digital landscape with the dependency on online distance learning (ODL) application such as Google Meet, WebEx, Zoom, and Microsoft Team. The dependencies on this software raise the issue of the willingness and user behavioral intention to use such application. Therefore, this study investigated the roles of self-efficacy and domain knowledge on the user behavioral intention to use ODL. A quantitative research methodology was adopted; instrument was adopted from previous study before following rigorous testing, pretest, pilot study, and actual data collection. The findings were then analyze based on relationship or inferentil and descriptive analysis.

This study investigated the implementation of the occupational safety and health (OSH) risk management system, known as the Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Risk Control (HIRARC), in small-medium enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia. Specifically, the implementation of the HIRARC system’s challenges and weaknesses faced by SMEs were investigated based on a systematic literature review of two databases, namely SCOPUS and Google Scholar. The results show that there was scant work on the HIRARC system implementation and limited specific industries, such as construction and production. Additionally, the challenges faced by SMEs were categorised into the HIRARC system’s weaknesses and the organisation’s inadequacy in implementing the system. This study provided implications to the OSH regulators in continuously promoting the HIRARC system’s significance while improving the system and encourage its assimilation among SMEs in Malaysia. This study is also hoped to provide some guidance to the SMEs in Malaysia in implementing OSH risk management system.
