This study aims to examine the long-term impact of leader-member exchange (LMX) on employee safety behavior. It proposes a conceptual model that includes the mediating role of job satisfaction (JS) in the relationship between LMX and safety behaviors, regarding safety compliance behavior (SCB) and safety participation behavior (SPB).
DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: Data were collected from 325 health-care workers across public hospitals in Algeria at three waves. Data were analyzed with partial least square structural equation modeling.
The findings revealed that LMX positively influenced employees' job satisfaction. However, the relationship between LMX and SCB was found to be mediated by job satisfaction. LMX was not directly related to both dimensions of safety behavior, whereas JS was positively associated with safety compliance and safety participation.
ORIGINALITY/VALUE: This is the first paper, to the best of the authors' knowledge, to report on the significant mediating role of JS on the reciprocal process used to exchange resources between leaders and subordinates and safety behaviors among health-care workers, thereby filling an important research gap in existing literature.
本研究旨在考察领导者-成员交换（LMX）对员工安全行为的长期影响。它提出了一个概念模型，其中包括工作满意度（JS）在 LMX 与安全行为之间的关系中的中介作用，涉及安全合规行为（SCB）和安全参与行为（SPB）。
设计/方法/方法：数据是在三个时间点从阿尔及利亚公立医院的 325 名医护人员中收集的。使用偏最小二乘结构方程模型进行数据分析。
研究结果表明，LMX 对员工的工作满意度有积极影响。然而，发现 LMX 与 SCB 之间的关系受到工作满意度的中介。LMX 与安全行为的两个维度没有直接关系，而 JS 与安全合规和安全参与呈正相关。
原创性/价值：据作者所知，这是第一篇报告在领导者和下属之间交换资源的互惠过程以及医疗保健工作者的安全行为中，工作满意度的显著中介作用的论文，从而填补了现有文献中的一个重要研究空白。
