The goal of the research is to determine how compensation affects the safety behavior of truck drivers and consequently the frequency of traffic accidents. For this purpose, a survey was conducted on a sample of 220 truck drivers in international road transport in the EU, where the results of the Structural Equation Model (SEM) show that in the current state of the transport sector, financial and non-financial incentives have a positive impact on the work and safety behavior of drivers. Financial incentives also have an impact on drivers' increased perception of their driving ability, while moving violations continue to have a major impact on the number of accidents. The proposed improvements enable decision-makers at the highest level to adopt legal solutions to help manage the issues that have been affecting the industry from a work, social and safety point of view for the past several years. The results of the research therefore represent an important guideline for improvements to the legislature as well as in the systematization of truck driver compensation within companies.
研究的目的是确定补偿如何影响卡车司机的安全行为，进而影响交通事故的频率。为此，在欧盟国际道路运输中对 220 名卡车司机进行了一项调查，结构方程模型（SEM）的结果表明，在当前的运输部门状态下，财务和非财务激励措施对司机的工作和安全行为有积极影响。财务激励措施也对司机提高驾驶能力的感知产生影响，而违章行为继续对事故数量产生重大影响。提出的改进措施使最高级别的决策者能够采取法律解决方案，帮助管理过去几年一直从工作、社会和安全角度影响该行业的问题。因此，研究结果为立法改进以及公司内卡车司机薪酬的系统化提供了重要指导。
