A number of accidents have occurred in small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Efforts in reducing accidents have been undertaken through the implementation of safety behaviors. Unfortunately, few studies have examined motives behind unsafe behaviors, such as safety silence motives. This study aimed to observe the motives underlying safety behaviors, namely safety silence motive (SSM) (SSM-relation, SSM-climate, SSM-issue, and SSM-job) and to evaluate the effect of SSM and safety communication on safety participation in different industrial sectors and scales.
Eighty workers from two industrial sectors and scales of SMEs were involved. They were instructed to fill out a set of questionnaires. A five-Likert scale was used to respond. An independent t test was applied to find any significant differences. The partial least square-structural equation modeling for multigroup was used to develop a model on relations among the variables.
The results showed that SSM scores were high in SMEs, and the scores were different across industrial sectors and scales. SSM had a negative influence on safety communication, and safety communication positively influenced safety participation.
The study of SSM, safety communication, and safety participation in different sectors and scales should be separated in SMEs.
中小企业发生了多起事故。通过实施安全行为来努力减少事故。不幸的是，很少有研究探讨不安全行为背后的动机，如安全沉默动机。本研究旨在观察安全行为背后的动机，即安全沉默动机（SSM）（SSM-关系、SSM-氛围、SSM-问题和SSM-工作），并评估SSM和安全沟通对不同工业部门和规模企业中安全参与度的影响。
涉及来自两个工业部门和规模的中小企业的80名工人。他们被要求填写一组问卷。采用五分量表进行回答。应用独立t检验以发现任何显著差异。使用多组偏最小二乘结构方程模型来建立变量之间关系的模型。
结果表明，中小企业中的SSM得分较高，且得分在不同工业部门和规模之间存在差异。SSM对安全沟通有负面影响，而安全沟通对安全参与度有积极影响。
在中小企业中，应分别研究不同部门和规模下的SSM、安全沟通和安全参与度。
