The purpose of this research was to determine whether the influence of supervisory support for safety on safety consciousness is direct or indirect. Based in part on predictions from the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) and Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), we examined the extent to which belief (safety self-efficacy) and attitude (cavalier safety attitude) mediate the impact of supervisory support for safety on employee safety consciousness.
A survey of 995 employees was distributed across 24 work groups in an electric utility company, and sequential mediation modeling was used to determine indirect effects on safety consciousness.
We found that the effect of supervisory support on safety consciousness was indirect, fully mediated through both efficacy and attitude in a sequential mediation model. Practical applications: Supervisors should be aware of and emphasize supportive behaviors and create welcoming conditions for employees to raise safety concerns. Furthermore, organizational programs pertaining to safety improvement need to consider how to develop positive beliefs regarding safety activity and attitudes and reduce negative ones.
本研究旨在确定监督对安全的支持对安全意识的影响是直接的还是间接的。部分基于理性行为理论(TRA)和社会认知理论(SCT)的预测,我们研究了信念(安全自我效能感)和态度(玩忽职守的安全态度)在多大程度上中介了监督对安全的支持对员工安全意识的影响。
在一家电力公司的 24 个工作小组中,对 995 名员工进行了调查,并使用序列中介模型来确定对安全意识的间接影响。
我们发现,监督支持对安全意识的影响是间接的,完全通过效能感和态度在序列中介模型中进行中介。实际应用:主管应该意识到并强调支持性行为,并为员工创造欢迎他们提出安全问题的条件。此外,与安全改进相关的组织计划需要考虑如何培养对安全活动和态度的积极信念,并减少消极信念。
