https://doi.org/10.21834/e-bpj.v10iSI27.6834Abstract
Waste management is a crucial activity in individual or organisational contexts. In Malaysia, waste management is the responsibility of the local government councils. However, literature searches and practical observations show that there is a dearth of research on the issue of waste management efficiency, especially in the context of Kelantan. Therefore, this study aims to identify the relevant constructs, confirm the instrument's reliability, and assess the pilot assessment. A quantitative methodology was adopted; several activities were performed to validate the instrument's reliability. As a result, a 25-item instrument was developed consisting of several constructs.
