Safety is fundamental to any organization; if not based on safety, organizational decision-making and management would be meaningless. For a country, soldiers are responsible for national security; they serve as a barrier that defends a country against external invasive forces, thus assuming great missions and responsibilities on their shoulders. To ensure soldiers fulfill their duties of protecting the country and the people, they should gain clear risk perception, which should be instilled into them during their daily combat readiness training. Only when their performances meet safety criteria can they become a strong fighting force. This study recruited military volunteer soldiers as its research participants and employed convenience sampling to distribute questionnaires. In total, this research collected 725 valid copies, of which the data were used to explore the relationship among safety leadership, risk perception, safety culture, and safety performance. To achieve this goal, this study proposed some research hypotheses based on literature review. The hypotheses were all verified latent variable modeling and multiple hierarchical regression analysis after the reliability and validity of each construct had been tested confirmatory factor analysis. The research results showed that the more deeply military volunteer soldiers sense safety leadership, the clearer their risk perception will be and the more helpful it would be in achieving safety performance. It is worth mentioning that risk perception can serve as a mediator while safety culture can mediate the relationship between safety leadership and safety performance. Lastly, the research proposes suggestions in the section of conclusions, which provides reference to the combat readiness training and daily tasks of soldiers.
安全是任何组织的根本；如果不以安全为基础，组织的决策和管理将毫无意义。对于一个国家来说，士兵负责国家安全；他们是保卫国家抵御外部入侵力量的屏障，因此肩负着重大使命和责任。为确保士兵履行保护国家和人民的职责，他们应具备清晰的风险认知，而这种认知应在日常战备训练中灌输给他们。只有当他们的表现符合安全标准时，他们才能成为一支强大的战斗力量。本研究招募军事志愿兵作为研究参与者，并采用便利抽样法发放问卷。本研究共收集到725份有效问卷，其数据用于探究安全领导力、风险认知、安全文化和安全绩效之间的关系。为实现这一目标，本研究在文献综述的基础上提出了一些研究假设。在通过验证性因素分析对每个构念的信效度进行检验后，通过潜变量建模和多重层次回归分析对这些假设进行了验证。研究结果表明，军事志愿兵对安全领导力的感知越深，他们的风险认知就越清晰，这对实现安全绩效也越有帮助。值得一提的是，风险认知可起到中介作用，而安全文化可调节安全领导力与安全绩效之间的关系。最后，研究在结论部分提出了建议，为士兵的战备训练和日常任务提供参考。
