The purpose of the study is to examine the relationships between safety behaviours (safety compliance and safety participation), their determinants (safety motivation and knowledge of safety) and their antecedent (safety training) affecting employee safety productivity, an economic benefit of occupational health and safety (OHS). The study was carried out with employees participating in the basic OHS training, which is mandatory every 2 years for all personnel due to the related legal obligation. The data required for the research purpose were collected by surveying 453 employees. The collected data were then tested using the methods of exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. The findings of the analyses showed that safety training, safety knowledge, safety motivation and safety compliance affect the improvement of employee safety productivity, one of the economic benefits of OHS. The study also suggested that safety participation does not influence the improvement of employee productivity. Furthermore, a new scale concerning employee safety productivity has been brought to the safety literature. It is suggested that organizational managers wishing to increase employee safety productivity focus particularly on training regarding the safety knowledge, skills, motivation and compliance of employees.
本研究的目的是考察安全行为（安全合规与安全参与）、其决定因素（安全动机与安全知识）以及影响员工安全生产力（职业健康与安全（OHS）的一项经济效益）的先行因素（安全培训）之间的关系。该研究针对参加基本OHS培训的员工开展，由于相关法律义务，所有人员每两年必须参加一次该培训。通过对453名员工进行调查，收集了研究所需的数据。然后使用探索性因素分析和验证性因素分析方法对收集到的数据进行了测试。分析结果表明，安全培训、安全知识、安全动机和安全合规会影响员工安全生产力的提高，而员工安全生产力是OHS的经济效益之一。该研究还表明，安全参与不会影响员工生产力的提高。此外，一个关于员工安全生产力的新量表已被引入安全文献。建议希望提高员工安全生产力的组织管理者特别关注有关员工安全知识、技能、动机和合规方面的培训。
