Abstract

This research study seeks to provide further understanding of waste management implication towards productivity rate. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) formulated by Venkatesh et al. (2003) were used as the factors for waste management evaluation on productivity rate. The researcher implemented quantitative research design as the methodology of the research paper. Questionnaires were distributed to 220 respondents in Malacca manufacturing SMEs, with 173 returned questionnaires, and 150 valid questionnaires, a 68% response rate. Data collected were analysed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) version 20.0. Analysis from SPSS 20.0 implied that PE (.000, p <.05), EE (.040, p <.05), SI (.001, p <.05), and FC (.002, P <.05) significantly enhance productivity in the SMEs, when waste management were used in the companies. The researcher suggests that future studies should incorporate other state in the research study; to include UTAUT moderating factors; and to utilize other statistical measures, in order to obtain more diverse data variance and data interpretations.
