To address the issue of promoting occupational health and safety at the workplace, this study aimed to evaluate the mediating effect of four different dimensional constructs of Emotional Intelligence (EI) on the influence Occupational Health and Safety Management Practices (OHSMP) hold on safety performance and workplace accidents among oil and gas workers. The study is explanatory research that adopted a cross-sectional survey design. Convenience and stratified sampling techniques were used to select 699 respondents from the three major government-owned oil and gas organizations. The multiple standard regression and bootstrapping mediation methods were used for data analysis after subjecting the data to exploratory and confirmatory factor assessments. Results indicated that OHSMP significantly predicts EI, safety performance, and workplace accidents. Again, EI was found to predict safety performance and workplace accidents significantly. Results also indicated that all the construct dimensions for measuring EI significantly explain the relationship between OHSMP and safety performance, as well as the influence of OHSMP on workplace accidents. The theoretical basis for these findings is that workers with high-level EI are likely to cope with occupational health and safety lapses or safety-related challenges at the workplace by participating and complying with the organization's safety management practices or procedures. Such employees are likely to exhibit safe working behaviors and contribute to improving safety performance in the organization.
为了解决工作场所促进职业健康和安全的问题，本研究旨在评估情绪智力（EI）的四个不同维度结构对职业健康和安全管理实践（OHSMP）对石油和天然气工人安全绩效和工作场所事故的影响的中介作用。该研究是解释性研究，采用了横断面调查设计。方便和分层抽样技术用于从三大国有石油和天然气组织中选择 699 名受访者。在对数据进行探索性和验证性因子评估后，使用多元标准回归和自举中介方法进行数据分析。结果表明，OHSMP 显著预测 EI、安全绩效和工作场所事故。此外，EI 也被发现能显著预测安全绩效和工作场所事故。结果还表明，衡量 EI 的所有结构维度都显著解释了 OHSMP 与安全绩效之间的关系，以及 OHSMP 对工作场所事故的影响。这些发现的理论基础是，具有高水平 EI 的工人更有可能通过参与和遵守组织的安全管理实践或程序来应对职业健康和安全失误或与安全相关的挑战。这些员工更有可能表现出安全的工作行为，并有助于提高组织的安全绩效。
