This research investigated the effects of cognitive failure on workplace safety and accidents over 2 studies. It was hypothesized that cognitive failure would directly predict safety behavior and workplace accidents and predict these outcomes over and above conscientiousness. It was found that cognitive failure uniquely accounted for workplace safety behavior and accidents. However, it has been suggested by researchers that certain individual differences might interact to produce differential effects. Thus, a moderated model was tested examining the interaction of cognitive failure and conscientiousness. It was found that cognitive failure moderated the relationship between conscientiousness and accidents and unsafe work behaviors. Overall, results suggest that cognitive failure plays an important part in individual safety behavior, especially when conscientiousness is low.
本研究通过两项研究调查了认知失误对工作场所安全和事故的影响。研究假设认知失误将直接预测安全行为和工作场所事故，并且在尽责性之外预测这些结果。研究发现认知失误独特地解释了工作场所安全行为和事故。然而，研究人员指出某些个体差异可能相互作用产生不同的影响。因此，测试了一个调节模型，考察认知失误和尽责性的相互作用。研究发现认知失误调节了尽责性与事故及不安全工作行为之间的关系。总体而言，结果表明认知失误在个体安全行为中起着重要作用，尤其是在尽责性较低时。
