Abstract


Agenda Matlamat Pembangunan Mampan (Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs) menekankan kepentingan pengurusan organisasi yang lestari sebagai pemangkin kepada pembangunan sistemik yang inklusif dan berdaya tahan. Secara khusus, SDG 4 menyeru agar institusi memperkukuh sistem pengurusan pendidikan yang holistik dan berkualiti, manakala SDG 13 menuntut pendekatan pengurusan strategik yang proaktif terhadap isu perubahan iklim. Justeru, pengurusan organisasi yang mampan bukan sahaja menjadi keperluan operasi, malah suatu kewajipan etika dan strategik dalam menyokong kelangsungan institusi dan planet secara menyeluruh. Artikel ini membincangkan tentang pelaksanaan isu pengurusan risiko ke arah kelestarian institusi pengajian tinggi di Malaysia. Bagi melaksanakannya empat faktor iaitu prestasi organisasi, implikasi kewangan, pengurusan sumber manusia dan perancangan strategik perlu diberi penekanan. Justeru, kajian ini bertujuan meninjau isu implementasi pengurusan risiko organisasi dari perspektif institusi pengajian tinggi di Malaysia. Data kajian ini dikumpul daripada 280 kakitangan UiTM Cawangan Melaka menggunakan kaedah soal selidik. Seterusnya, data kajian dianalisis menerusi kaedah analisis deskriptif dan regresi menggunakan perisian SPSS versi 27. Dapatan kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa komunikasi dalam organisasi masih perlu dipertingkatkan, walaupun terdapat beberapa elemen positif hasil daripada analisa yang telah dijalankan. Cadangan untuk penambahbaikan termasuk memperkukuh penggunaan platform digital bagi menyampaikan maklumat dengan lebih konsisten dan membangunkan program latihan untuk meningkatkan kecekapan komunikasi. Penyelidikan lanjutan juga perlu diterokai untuk memahami hubungan antara komunikasi organisasi dan pencapaian objektif keselamatan secara lebih mendalam. Secara praktikalnya, kajian ini mencadangkan agar organisasi dapat memperkasakan program pengurusan risiko serta menambah baik mutu perkhidmatan di sektor pengajian tinggi amnya dan institusi pengajian tingg awam di Malaysia khasnya melalui penekanan SDG4 (Kualiti Pendidikan) dan SDG 13 (Tindakan iklim).

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) underscore the critical importance of sustainable organizational management as a catalyst for inclusive and resilient systemic development. Specifically, SDG 4 calls for the strengthening of holistic and high-quality educational governance, while SDG 13 advocates for strategic organizational responses to climate change. Hence, sustainable organizational practices are not merely operational necessities but represent an ethical and strategic imperative in advancing institutional longevity and global ecological stewardship. This article discusses the implementation of risk management issues towards the sustainability of higher education institutions in Malaysia. Four aspects namely organizational performance, financial implications, human resource management and strategic planning need to be emphasized. Thus, this study aims to review the issue of organizational risk management implementation from the perspective of higher education institutions in Malaysia. Data for this study was collected from 280 UiTM Melaka Branch staff using a questionnaire method. Next, the research data was analysed through descriptive analysis and regression using SPSS software version 27. The findings of this study show that communication in the organization still needs to be improved, although there are some positive elements because of the analysis that has been carried out. Suggestions for improvement include strengthening the use of digital platforms to deliver information more consistently and developing training programs to improve communication efficiency. Further research should also be explored to understand the relationship between organizational communication and the achievement of safety objectives in greater depth. Practically speaking, this study suggests that organizations can strengthen risk management programs and improve service quality.
