Two studies examine the role of motivation and trust in the relationship between safety-specific transformational leadership and employees' safety behavior. Study 1 tested the prediction that intrinsic and identified regulation motivations mediate the relationship between safety-specific transformational leadership and employees' safety behaviors. Study 2 further explored this relationship by testing the prediction that the mediating role of intrinsic motivation is dependent on employees' level of trust in their leader. Survey data from the U.K. construction industry supported both predictions. However, the mediating role of intrinsic motivation was found only for challenge safety citizenship behaviors (i.e., voice) and not for affiliative safety citizenship behaviors (i.e., helping). These findings suggest that employees' intrinsic motivation is important to the effectiveness of leaders' efforts to promote some but not all forms of safety behavior.
两项研究考察了动机和信任在安全特定变革型领导与员工安全行为之间关系中的作用。研究 1 检验了这样一种预测，即内在动机和认同调节动机在安全特定变革型领导与员工安全行为之间的关系中起中介作用。研究 2 通过检验这样一种预测进一步探讨了这种关系，即内在动机的中介作用取决于员工对领导的信任程度。来自英国建筑行业的调查数据支持了这两个预测。然而，只发现内在动机的中介作用适用于挑战安全公民行为（即发声），而不适用于亲和安全公民行为（即帮助）。这些发现表明，员工的内在动机对于领导者努力促进某些而非所有形式的安全行为的有效性很重要。
