“…Studies on LM have been identified to benefit the most from using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) because SEM is at the stage of explorative modelling with the theory under development (Pearce and Pons, 2019). There are two main approaches to SEM: component-based and covariance-based (Bodoff and Ho, 2016). The example of componentbased SEM is the partial least square (PLS) method, while AMOS is the most well-known software package supporting the covariance-based SEM (Chin, 1998).…”

“…The example of componentbased SEM is the partial least square (PLS) method, while AMOS is the most well-known software package supporting the covariance-based SEM (Chin, 1998). The study by Bodoff and Ho (2016) is referred to in choosing component-based SEM as partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The PLS-SEM aims to explain variance which allows estimating complex cause-effect relationship models with latent variables using SmartPLS (Xue et al, 2011).…”

PurposeThis study analyses the challenges in implementing lean manufacturing (LM) in the wood and furniture industry. In order to facilitate the smooth implementation of LM practices in this industry, the challenges in terms of its deployment need to be analysed and observed.Design/methodology/approachRealizing this importance, this study proposes a model, using PLS-SEM, which focusses on dealing with the challenges faced in the implementation of lean in the wood and furniture industry. The model consists of ten challenges that were determined based on a survey involving 46 SMEs companies in Malaysia.FindingsThe findings revealed that the implementation of LM is significantly affected by three main issues, namely: knowledge, resources and culture and human attitude. Furthermore, the analyses also highlighted four dominant challenges which are related to culture and human attitude issues – lack of employee commitment, lack of senior management's interest and support, difficult to implement, and LM is viewed as “current trend”. Overall, the ability to deal with the challenges involving factors of knowledge and culture and human attitude determines the success of LM implementation, especially in companies that have limited resources.Practical implicationsThis study would help wood and furniture SMEs, government agencies, professional bodies and academics to better understand the challenges when implementing LM practices.Originality/valueOverall, this study aims at investigating the relationships between the three challenges to better promote LM in the scope under study. Therefore, several activities were proposed to overcome the abovementioned challenges and subsequently contribute to the current body of knowledge.

Taking it outside: A study of legal contexts and external whistleblowing in China and India

Whistleblowing is regularly identified as corporate control mechanism to prevent and uncover fraud. We review and compare the legal situation for whistleblowers in the People’s Republic of China and India. In a survey of 942 employees from private companies in both countries, we take a look at the status quo of whistleblowing system implementation, explore preference of channels to disclose fraud or corruption, and analyze under which conditions and what kind of employees prefer external over internal whistleblowing. We find that provisions for mandatory whistleblowing systems can be found in the law of both countries. In China in particular, protection is scattered across many different laws in the private sector. Indian companies seem to have systems in place more often, although this difference becomes smaller the larger the company. The general preference of internal over external channels is similar across countries. Our regression models suggest that external channels are preferred over internal ones when fear of retaliatory measures is higher, the company is smaller, and the whistleblower is female. In line with prior literature, the effect of fear of retaliation is moderated by gender: women are less influenced by retaliation. All in all, implementation of whistleblowing systems seems ubiquitous in both countries; legal protection and comprehensive measures to decrease retaliation are lacking. Additional implications of findings are discussed.

“…Where goodness-of-fit is satisfactory, the model shows that there are interrelationships among variables, but where this is inadequate, then the interrelationships among the variables are rejected [58]. At least three observed variables/indicators are recommended and a common practice whereas, problem exists with two or one observed variable as the measurement error cannot be modelled [59]. If models use only two observed variables per latent variable, they are more likely to fail, and therefore error estimates might be unreliable.…”

Investigating the Interrelationships among Occupant Attitude, Knowledge and Behaviour in LEED-Certified Buildings Using Structural Equation Modelling

The proliferation of residential building energy consumption and CO2 emissions has led many countries to develop buildings under the green rating systems umbrella. Many such buildings, however, fail to meet their designed energy performance, which is possibly attributable to occupant behaviour and unforeseen building usages. The research problem lies in the fact that occupant environmental behaviour is a complex socio-cultural-technical issue that needs to be addressed to achieve the desired energy savings. This study is novel as it investigates complex interrelationships between many observed and unobserved variables using data from four LEED-certified multi-residential buildings in the United Arab Emirates. Structural Equation Modelling was used to analyse the impact of three unobserved/latent variables: occupant environmental Attitude, Knowledge and Behaviour (AKB) with respect to occupant energy consumption, based on measured/observed variables. Although our Goodness-of-Fit values indicated that we achieved a good model fit, the interrelationship between Knowledge and Behaviour (p = 0.557) and between Attitude and Behaviour (p = 0.931) was insignificant, as the p-values > 0.05. The key study outcomes were: (i) providing information alone could not motivate people towards environmentally friendly behaviour; (ii) even changes in their attitude, belief and lifestyle were not significantly related to their behaviour, as the interrelationships among occupant environmental AKB were not significant; and (iii) knowledge and attitude change should be combined with other motivational factors to trigger environmentally friendly actions and influence behaviour.
