The existing literature on mobile phone use while driving (MPUWD) mainly targets the participants from general population and the young adults, however, few studies pay attention to this form of distracted driving with samples in professional contexts. The present study aims to bridge the gap by identifying the extent of and the motives behind making use of mobile phones while driving for food dispatch among deliveryman.
The snowball sampling was used to collect the data (N = 317) through a self-reported questionnaire, including demographics, personality traits, risk perception, driving self-efficacy, and mobile phone use while driving.
Descriptive analysis for the assessed MPUWD behaviors showed that 96.3% (N = 315) of food deliveryman undertook the MPUWD behaviors, though disproportionate distribution among these behaviors existed. Structural equation modeling analysis displayed that psychoticism and driving self-efficacy directly predicted the MPUWD behaviors. The mediating role of driving self-efficacy was verified with the findings that driving self-efficacy completely mediated the relationships that between risk perception and MPUWD behaviors and that between extraversion and MPUWD behaviors, as well as partially mediated the correlation between psychoticism and MPUWD behaviors.
The present study confirms the prevalence of MPUWD behaviors among food deliveryman. The SEM estimates and bootstrap estimates suggest that personality traits and perceived risk perception per se display limited predicting utility to MPUWD behaviors among food deliveryman, whereas driving self-efficacy and the proposed predictors together well illustrate the assessed MPUWD behaviors among food deliveryman. Practical Applications: These findings imply that developing and implementing intervention efforts in a concerted way would curb these behaviors effectively.
现有关于开车时使用手机（MPUWD）的文献主要针对普通人群和年轻人的参与者，然而，很少有研究关注这种在专业环境下的分心驾驶形式。本研究旨在通过确定外卖员在驾驶过程中使用手机的程度和动机来填补这一空白。
采用滚雪球抽样法，通过自报式问卷收集数据（N=317），包括人口统计学、人格特质、风险感知、驾驶自我效能感和驾驶时使用手机。
对评估的 MPUWD 行为进行描述性分析表明，96.3%（N=315）的外卖员从事 MPUWD 行为，但这些行为的分布不均。结构方程模型分析显示，精神病态和驾驶自我效能直接预测 MPUWD 行为。驾驶自我效能的中介作用得到了验证，研究结果表明，驾驶自我效能完全中介了风险感知与 MPUWD 行为之间的关系，以及外向性与 MPUWD 行为之间的关系，部分中介了精神病态与 MPUWD 行为之间的关系。
本研究证实了外卖员开车时使用手机的行为普遍存在。SEM 估计和自举估计表明，人格特质和感知风险感知本身对外卖员的 MPUWD 行为预测能力有限，而驾驶自我效能和所提出的预测因素共同很好地说明了外卖员的评估 MPUWD 行为。
这些发现表明，以协同方式制定和实施干预措施将有效地遏制这些行为。
