Unsafe behavior is closely related to occupational accidents. Work pressure is one the main factors affecting employees' behavior. The aim of the present study was to provide a path analysis model for explaining how work pressure affects safety behavior.
Using a self-administered questionnaire, six variables supposed to affect safety employees' behavior were measured. The path analysis model was constructed based on several hypotheses. The goodness of fit of the model was assessed using both absolute and comparative fit indices.
Work pressure was determined not to influence safety behavior directly. However, it negatively influenced other variables. Group attitude and personal attitude toward safety were the main factors mediating the effect of work pressure on safety behavior. Among the variables investigated in the present study, group attitude, personal attitude and work pressure had the strongest effects on safety behavior.
Managers should consider that in order to improve employees' safety behavior, work pressure should be reduced to a reasonable level, and concurrently a supportive environment, which ensures a positive group attitude toward safety, should be provided. Replication of the study is recommended.
不安全行为与职业事故密切相关。工作压力是影响员工行为的主要因素之一。本研究的目的是提供一个路径分析模型,以解释工作压力如何影响安全行为。
使用自填式问卷测量了六个假定会影响员工安全行为的变量。基于若干假设构建了路径分析模型。使用绝对拟合指数和比较拟合指数评估模型的拟合优度。
确定工作压力不会直接影响安全行为。然而,它会对其他变量产生负面影响。群体对安全的态度和个人对安全的态度是工作压力对安全行为影响的主要中介因素。在本研究调查的变量中,群体态度、个人态度和工作压力对安全行为的影响最强。
管理者应考虑到,为了改善员工的安全行为,应将工作压力降低到合理水平,同时应提供一个支持性环境,以确保群体对安全持积极态度。建议重复进行该研究。
