Safety participation has gained increasing attention as an important dimension of workers' safety behaviors. Although previous studies attempted to identify factors affecting workers' safety participation, only a few studies paid attention to the psychological mechanisms behind it. Therefore, this study aimed to develop and test a research model that explains how management factors are implicated in workers' safety participation. Specifically, this study focused on project-based organizations (e.g., construction projects) because employee psychological mechanisms may have a unique nature in such transient employment.
The hypotheses in the research model of the psychological mechanism of construction workers' safety participation are tested using survey data from 261 construction workers.
The results indicated that construction workers' safety participation is influenced by project identification after controlling the shared variance of safety compliance. Project identification also mediates the effects of transformational leadership and communication climate on safety participation.
This study offers researchers and practitioners an explanation of how management factors influence construction workers' safety behaviors and clarifies the role of project identification play in explaining the effects of management factors on safety compliance and safety participation.
安全参与作为工人安全行为的一个重要维度，越来越受到关注。尽管先前的研究试图确定影响工人安全参与的因素，但只有少数研究关注其背后的心理机制。因此，本研究旨在开发和检验一个解释管理因素如何影响工人安全参与的研究模型。具体来说，本研究侧重于基于项目的组织（例如，建筑项目），因为员工的心理机制在这种短暂的雇佣关系中可能具有独特的性质。
使用来自 261 名建筑工人的调查数据，检验了建筑工人安全参与心理机制研究模型中的假设。
结果表明，在控制安全合规性的共享方差后，项目识别影响建筑工人的安全参与。项目识别还在变革型领导和沟通氛围对安全参与的影响中起中介作用。
本研究为研究人员和实践者提供了一个解释管理因素如何影响建筑工人安全行为的解释，并阐明了项目识别在解释管理因素对安全合规性和安全参与的影响方面的作用。
