| Summary: | The area of this study is incidental learning among managers through mountaineering activities. The objective of this study was to determine the influence of perception of risk towards mountaineering and thrill and adventure seeking personality trait on their personal reflection. Respondents of this study consisted of 58 managers
who participated in Mount Tahan Expedition, the highest peak in Peninsular Malaysia.This study used three well-established instruments to measure the variables.After going through the steps to ensure the validity of the instruments, it had also been tested for reliability.Then, linear regression test was used to determine the influence of independent variables on the dependent variable.This study revealed that both independent variables explained 11.9 percent variation in personal reflection.This finding is significance as shown by F-value of 3.712 (0=0.031).A further look at the t-values revealed that both perception of risk and thrill and adventure seeking personality trait contributed significantly to the change in personal reflection.As a conclusion, this study had achieved its objective by showing that personal reflection among managers can be enhanced by increasing their level of risk perception
and by selecting managers with thrill and adventure seeking personality trait as participants of the expedition. |
