An unsafe act is a type of work that involves some risk. Since more than a decade, unsafe act has accounted as a foremost cause of work-related accident, especially in the field of construction. Several attempts have been made to reduce the causes of unsafe acts; however, shortcut, which is a notable type of unsafe act, has received little attention in previous works, even though some of causal effects have been attributed to this habit. This paper aims to reveal an unexplained proportion that can be explained by different underlying causes of motivational problems to shortcuts rather than by habit. Accordingly, two structural models have been proposed based on quantitative and qualitative data from previous reviews associated with the effects on negative feeling and thinking on risk management. These models were tested using on Exploratory Factor analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) on data collected from a cross-section survey conducted at construction sites in largest cities within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), where large number of accidents in these cities occurred. Data of 204 respondents of the mailed questionnaires were analyzed after screening all responses. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) (version 22) was used to test for Structural Equation Model (SEM) assumptions. The developed hypotheses were tested and model with the best fit was identified. Findings revealed that 45%-55% of the motivational problems to shortcuts were explained by the selected structural model.
不安全行为是一种存在一定风险的工作类型。十多年来，不安全行为一直被视为与工作相关事故的首要原因，尤其是在建筑领域。人们已经多次尝试减少不安全行为的成因；然而，尽管一些因果效应已归因于这种习惯，但作为一种显著的不安全行为类型，走捷径在以往的研究中却很少受到关注。本文旨在揭示一个无法解释的比例，这个比例可以由导致走捷径的动机问题的不同潜在原因来解释，而不是由习惯来解释。因此，基于以往与风险管理中负面情绪和思维影响相关综述的定量和定性数据，提出了两个结构模型。这些模型在沙特阿拉伯王国（KSA）最大城市的建筑工地进行的横断面调查所收集的数据上，使用探索性因子分析（EFA）和验证性因子分析（CFA）进行了测试，这些城市发生了大量事故。在筛选所有回复后，对邮寄问卷的204名受访者的数据进行了分析。使用社会科学统计软件包（SPSS）（版本22）来检验结构方程模型（SEM）假设。对所提出的假设进行了检验，并确定了拟合度最佳的模型。研究结果表明，所选结构模型解释了45%-55%的走捷径的动机问题。
