Although studies have explored compliance with information security policies, user compliance behavior with laboratory safety policies remains under-explored.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study investigates the associations of Management Support (MS) with compliance with LSP, including direct and indirect pathways through Self-efficacy (SE) and Perceived Trust (PT), using data from 510 university biomedical laboratory users (93.72% of whom were undergraduates). Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was applied to analyse the direct and indirect associations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      MS showed a significant direct association with user compliance behavior (UCB) (\u03b2 = 0.247,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.003) and significant indirect associations via PT (indirect \u03b2 = 0.332) and SE (indirect \u03b2 = 0.198), supporting partial mediation.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The indirect association via PT was numerically larger than that via SE (indirect \u03b2 = 0.332 vs. 0.198). However, a bootstrap test of the difference between the two indirect effects (5,000 sub-samples) yielded a 95% confidence interval of [\u20130.117, 0.465], which includes zero, indicating that the difference was not statistically significant. Nevertheless, both indirect pathways were significant, underscoring the importance of both institutional trust and self-efficacy in promoting laboratory safety compliance.<\/jats:p>\n
