This research empirically evaluates safety climate and safety behavior in the passenger ferry context. Using survey data collected from 155 respondents working for passenger ferry companies in Taiwan, hierarchical regression analysis was used to examine the effects of safety climate on self-reported safety behaviors. Confirmatory factor analysis identified five main dimensions of safety climate as measured on a passenger ferry safety climate scale: safety policy, safety motivation, emergency preparedness, safety training, and safety communication. Further, safety training and emergency preparedness were found to positively affect self-reported safety behaviors with respect to safety compliance and safety participation. The study also revealed positive associations among respondents' age, ferry capacity, and safety compliance. Implications of the study findings for increasing safety in ferry operations and their contribution to the development of safety management are discussed.
本研究从实证角度评估客轮环境中的安全氛围和安全行为。通过对来自台湾客轮公司的 155 名受访者进行调查，采用分层回归分析方法，考察安全氛围对自我报告安全行为的影响。验证性因子分析确定了客轮安全氛围量表衡量的五个主要安全氛围维度：安全政策、安全动机、应急准备、安全培训和安全沟通。此外，安全培训和应急准备被发现对安全合规和安全参与方面的自我报告安全行为产生积极影响。研究还揭示了受访者年龄、渡轮容量和安全合规之间的积极关联。讨论了研究结果对增加渡轮运营安全的意义及其对安全管理发展的贡献。
