Among attempts that address high incidences of fatalities and injuries in coal mines, increasing attention has been paid to management commitment to complement the traditional focus on technological advances in safety management. However, more research is needed to explain the influence of perceived management commitment, with extant research drawing commonly on Griffin and Neal (2000) to focus on safety knowledge, skills, and motivation. This study draws on social cognitive theory (Bandura, 1986) to investigate psychological capital as a link between thought process and safety behavior.
This study uses survey data from 400 frontline workers in China's coal mines to test hypotheses.
Results suggest that perceived management commitment to safety correlates positively with workers' safety compliance and participation, and four constituents of psychological capital-self-efficacy, hope, optimism, and resilience-explain the influence of perceived management commitment on safety compliance and participation. Practical Applications: Findings offer both researchers and practitioners an explanation of how perceived management commitment influences safety behaviors, and clarify the roles psychological capital constituents play in explaining the influence of perceived management commitment on safety compliance and safety participation.
在解决煤矿高死亡率和高受伤率的尝试中，越来越多的人开始关注管理层对安全管理的承诺，以补充传统的技术进步重点。然而，需要更多的研究来解释感知到的管理承诺的影响，现有研究通常借鉴 Griffin 和 Neal（2000 年）的研究，侧重于安全知识、技能和动机。本研究借鉴社会认知理论（Bandura，1986 年），探讨心理资本作为思维过程和安全行为之间的联系。
本研究使用来自中国煤矿 400 名一线工人的调查数据来检验假设。
结果表明，管理层对安全的承诺感知与工人的安全合规性和参与度呈正相关，心理资本的四个构成要素——自我效能感、希望、乐观和韧性——解释了管理层对安全的承诺感知对安全合规性和参与度的影响。
研究结果为研究人员和从业者提供了一种解释，即管理层对安全的承诺感知如何影响安全行为，并阐明了心理资本构成要素在解释管理层对安全的承诺感知对安全合规性和安全参与度的影响方面所扮演的角色。
