| description |
Categorised as among the many businesses having adverse effects on the
environment, manufacturing companies are hard pressed to get their acts together.
One of the most effective strategies that the companies can employ to reduce global
warming, and thus, climate change, is by being more energy efficient. The research
attempts to investigate the relationship between independent variable (innovation,
communication channels and company characteristics) and the dependent variable of
the manufacturing companies in Malaysia to adopt energy efficiency practices in
their respective organisations, and charts the adoption of energy efficiency practices
within the companies. Data collection was conducted by using a survey method, with
respondents coming from all over Malaysia except Sabah and Sarawak due to
geographical and financial factors. The research respondents were selected from
Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) Directory. A total of 660
questionnaires were distributed and 210 of the questionnaires were returned by the
respondents, a response rate of 31.82%. The data were analysed by using standard
multiple regression technique, arriving at a number of important findings. The
research revealed that there is a significant relationship between innovation,
communication channels, company characteristics, and manufacturing companies
adoption towards energy efficiency practices. In this manner, this research suggested
that the manufacturing companies in Malaysia are ready to take the change towards
energy efficiency practices in their work to become environmentally friendly. |
