The Effects of Organizational Commitment, Knowledge, Attitude, and Awareness on Risk Management Effectiveness in Labs

Abstract

Labs are essential in varying fields, not only in medicine but in research, manufacturing, and education. These environments are exposed to a variety of dangerous features that include chemical contamination and biologic risks through equipment malfunction and scientific mistakes. Foreseeable and unforeseeable risks must be well managed to maintain the fitness of an individual member, the principle of the article, and the binding to a certain standard It is obvious that other basic components like commitment, knowledge, attitude, and awareness play a large role in determining compliance with risk management processes in the laboratory environment (Ménard 2020). Organizational commitment measures the extent to which the employees devote themselves and their energies to their organization to a level that guarantees their loyalty to the goal of the organization (Ménard 2020).

The skill, technical or interpretive, should be a method in determining, evaluating, and managing the risk. The workers who have a generalized notion of laboratory procedures, safety protocols, and the risk assessment techniques are in a great position to identify and resolve hazards and put in place standard operating procedures to counter them. The word attitude includes the employees' psychological aspects, that is, the positive or negative perception, the thoughts, the ideas and/or the behavioral acts, about risk management (Palluzi 2021). A positive attitude toward safety brings about a compliance culture that encourages staff members to take safety into account and ensure that tasks in line with risk management issues are well executed. . It is yet unclear, how extensively ownership combines with knowledge, attitude, and awareness of laboratory scientists in risk management. Prior research undertakes an in-depth analysis of individual factors which do not consider the intricate connection between them with a result to the combined effort helping to achieve favor (Palluzi 2021).
