The Relationship Between Leadership Safety Commitment and Resilience Safety Participation Behavior.

PURPOSE

To analyze the impact of leadership safety commitment on miners' safety participation behavior and to explore the mediating effect of miners' psychological safety and the moderating effect of perceived supervisor safety attitude (PSSA) and perceived coworker safety attitude (PCSA).

METHODS

A total of 1446 valid questionnaires were collected from miners working in state-owned mines in China from August to October 2019. A variety of scales were used to measure the variables, including "Our management has strict requirements for safe work when working backward", "I made mistakes in the team, and other coworkers often have opinions about me", "I will be regarded as a troublemaker if I raise safety issues", "When we complete work safely, the supervisor is satisfied", "My coworkers sometimes ignore safety rules".

RESULTS

Leadership safety commitment has a significant positive effect on miners' safety participation behavior; psychological safety of miners partially mediates the relationship between leadership safety commitment and the safety participation behavior of miners; and PSSA and PCSA moderate the intermediary effect of miners' psychological safety on leadership safety commitment and miners' safety participation behavior. When PSSA or PCSA is positive, the mediating effect of psychological safety is stronger.

CONCLUSION

This paper analyzes miners' safety participation behavior from the perspective of resilience and discusses the impact of leadership safety commitment on miners' safety participation behavior. These offer theoretical guidance and inspiration for the management of organizations to enhance the positive effects of workplace leadership safety commitment and improve miners' safety participation behavior.
