  • Abstract:
    Malaysia is one of the most rapidly developing countries among developing nations. The construction industry has played a major role in Malaysia's rapid economic growth. Among the major sectors in Malaysia, the importance of the construction industry is unique regardless of the level of the country's development. However, the attitude of the construction industry in Malaysia towards managing risk attitudes of contractors is very weak. The introduction of the Occupational Safety and Health Act in 1994 by the Malaysian government made all industries in Malaysia identify risks, conduct risk assessment and control risk. In addition, the Malaysian construction industry simultaneously implemented an integrated system to ensure consistency and better performance of projects. To identify the factors influencing contractor risk attitudes, relevant literature was reviewed, and a questionnaire survey was conducted. This study focused on the G7 contractors operating in the Malaysian construction industry. 119 copies of a structured questionnaire were analysed with a response rate of 85%. Structural equation modelling was utilized to test the hypotheses developed for the study. Results showed that government policies played a moderating role in enhancing the relationship between human-related factors affecting contractor risk attitudes in the construction industry.
