Although it is widely discussed in sectors like construction, manufacturing, and electronics, its significance in academic institutions is often overlooked. This study presents a systematic literature review (SLR) to explore the factors affecting safety culture in academic institutions across Malaysia and Indonesia from 2017 to 2021. The research includes a diverse range of institutions, including preschools, primary schools, secondary schools, matriculation colleges, vocational colleges, public and private universities, and training centers. Adopting the PRISMA methodology, the study applies thematic analysis to assess the findings, revealing eight key themes and 20 subthemes for Malaysia, compared to just two main themes and four subthemes for Indonesia. The results highlight safety competence, commitment, and attitude as the most influential elements for cultivating a strong safety culture in Malaysia. In terms of dimensions, behavioral factors (85%) were found to have the greatest impact on safety culture, followed by psychological factors (10%) and situational factors (5%). In Indonesia, the primary drivers of safety culture were situational and behavioral factors. Overall, the study underscores the importance of increasing awareness among academic institution leaders, governments, and policymakers to foster a robust safety culture in both countries.</i></span></span><br> &nbsp;</div> Safety Culture,Safety Atttitude,academic institutions,safety management system 13 26 http://ijiepr.iust.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-3243-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Azizan Ramli azizanramli@umpsa.edu.my 1800319475328460014060 1800319475328460014060 Yes Faculty of Industrial Sciences and Technology, Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah Siti Noraishah Ismail snoraishah@umpsa.edu.my 1800319475328460014061 1800319475328460014061 No Faculty of Chemical and Process Engineering Technology, Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah Tofan Agung Eka Prasetya tofan-agung-e-p@vokasi.unair.ac.id 1800319475328460014062 1800319475328460014062 No Health Department, Faculty of Vocational Studies, Universitas Airlangga Herman Bagus Dwicahyo herman.bagus.dwicahyo@vokasi.unair.ac.id 1800319475328460014063 1800319475328460014063 No Health Department, Faculty of Vocational Studies, Universitas Airlangga Cendana Fitrahanjani cendana@bpjs-kesehatan.go.id 1800319475328460014064 1800319475328460014064 No Faculy of Public Health, Universitas Airlangga
