Employee safety voice refers to publishing opinions and suggestions related to workplace safety issues. In recent years, it has gradually become a hot topic in the field of organizational safety management research. Voice endorsement is the leader's positive feedback to employees, and it is a necessary condition and key link for employees to achieve the purpose of voicing. Although there are many types of research on employee safety voice behavior and voice endorsement, few studies have explored the relationship between the two. Therefore, through a paired questionnaire survey of 214 leaders and 344 employees in construction projects, drawing on social exchange theory, using leader-member exchange (LMX) as a mediating variable, we discuss the mechanism of voice endorsement on employee safety voice behavior. The results show that in construction projects, voice endorsement negatively affects employee safety voice behavior and LMX, and LMX positively affects employee safety voice behavior. LMX has a mediating role in the relationship between voice endorsement and employee safety voice behavior. The results of this study can provide useful guidance for improving employee safety voice behavior management.
员工安全建言是指发表与工作场所安全问题相关的意见和建议。近年来，它逐渐成为组织安全管理研究领域的一个热门话题。建言认可指的是领导者对员工的积极反馈，是员工实现建言目的的必要条件和关键环节。虽然关于员工安全建言行为和建言认可的研究类型众多，但很少有研究探讨二者之间的关系。因此，通过对214名建设项目领导者和344名员工进行配对问卷调查，借鉴社会交换理论，将领导成员交换（LMX）作为中介变量，我们探讨了建言认可对员工安全建言行为的作用机制。结果表明，在建设项目中，建言认可对员工安全建言行为和LMX有负向影响，而LMX对员工安全建言行为有正向影响。LMX在建言认可与员工安全建言行为的关系中起中介作用。本研究结果可为改善员工安全建言行为管理提供有益指导。
