Therefore, a study to explained the determinant factors that influence acceptance towards 5S quality management is crucial to be carried out in university. This study developed pilot study analysis for acceptance towards 5S quality management among university students. This study performed questionnaire quantitative method in assessing the acceptance of 5S quality management among students in university. Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) is selected as underpinning theory for conceptual research framework. Additional variable namely Knowledge (K) is added as additional variable to improve the theoretical framework of this research. The number of respondents is 40 students for pilot test in validating research instruments. The value of Cronbach Alpha for all four variables are larger than 0.7. Therefore, the pilot test result shows all instruments in measuring four variables meet the requirement for validity and reliability test. The finding of this study add knowledge to body of literature. In the same time, this study helps practitioners in developing policy for university in achieving sustainable green campus.
