A Study of Organizational Attitude Towards Risk and its Impact on Crisis Preparedness Among Malaysian Manufacturers
Abstract
The organizational crisis preparedness includes three components, namely signal detection, prevention and recovery mechanism. Based on the Protection and Motivation Theory (Maddux & Rogers, 1983), a study was conducted among Malaysian manufacturing organizations listed in the Federation Malaysian Manufacturing Directory, 2003. Regression analyses on a sample of 106 organizations showed that organizational perception of risk was negatively correlated with organizational crisis preparedness. Findings and implications for managerial practice are discussed.
