| Summary: | Microsoft PowerPoint (PPT) has been used as a learning medium in Safety and Health Induction Course (SHIC). The PPT contains text combination, images, videos and related information. SHIC or CIDB Green Card program is considered as a safety passport to enter the construction site. It is compulsory for local and foreign workers to register and attend this program. Past studies stated that PPT cannot fully reach the purpose of this program due to the learning medium has a several weaknesses towards the foreign workers such as the use of Malay language and the content. It has caused difficulty to foreign workers to understand the safety aspects on sites which led to an accident. Past studies also stressed out the existence of the language problem and less discussion about the impact of PPT towards foreign workers in SHIC. To fill in this gap, the present study aims to seek the level of technology acceptance of foreign workers towards PowerPoint (PPT) in SHIC in northern area such as Kedah and Perlis. In this study, Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) has been used to study the factors that impact the acceptance level of foreign workers towards PPT. The factors contained perceived usefulness (PU), perceive ease of use (PEOU), attitude towards using (A) and behavioural intention to use (BI). The researcher used SPSS version 22 to analyze and interpret the data. Based on Spearman’s rank order correlation (rho), it has indicated that perceived usefulness and perceive ease of use has a significant impact. While, attitude and behavioural intention to use has no significant impact towards the PPT in SHIC. Therefore, in order to enhance the PPT performance in the training, the trainers and CIDB are advised to maintain the existing content of the PPT and transform it to a new and suitable one or get an improvement. |
