Research suggests safety climate (SC) is a strong predictor of safety-related outcomes in organizations. This study explores the relationship between six SC dimensions and four aspects of work-related driving.
The SC factors measured were "communication and procedures," "work pressures," "relationships," "safety rules," "driver training," and "management commitment." The aspects of self-reported occupational driving measured were traffic violations, driver error, driving while distracted, and pre-trip vehicle maintenance.
Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that the SC factors accounted for significant amounts of variance in all four aspects of work-related driving, over and above the control factors of age, sex, and work-related driving exposure. However, further investigation indicated certain SC factors (particularly safety rules, communication, and management commitment) were more strongly related to specific aspects of work-related driving behavior than others. Together, the SC factors were better able to predict self-reported distraction from the road than the other aspects of driving behavior measured. Implications for occupational safety, particularly for the management of work-related drivers are discussed.
研究表明,安全氛围(SC)是组织中与安全相关结果的有力预测指标。本研究探讨了六个安全氛围维度与工作相关驾驶的四个方面之间的关系。
所测量的安全氛围因素包括“沟通与程序”、“工作压力”、“人际关系”、“安全规则”、“驾驶员培训”和“管理承诺”。自我报告的职业驾驶方面包括交通违规、驾驶员失误、分心驾驶和出行前车辆维护。
分层回归分析显示,安全氛围因素在与工作相关驾驶的所有四个方面中解释了大量变异,超出了年龄、性别和与工作相关驾驶暴露等控制因素的影响。然而,进一步调查表明,某些安全氛围因素(特别是安全规则、沟通和管理承诺)与工作相关驾驶行为的特定方面的关联比其他因素更强。总体而言,安全氛围因素比所测量的驾驶行为的其他方面更能预测自我报告的驾驶时注意力分散情况。讨论了对职业安全的影响,特别是对与工作相关驾驶员的管理。
