Despite growing concerns over safety risks associated with on-site contractors in high-risk industries, little research has examined how host organizations affect their safety. Drawing from the open systems perspective, this study investigated the influence of host organizations' safety climates on on-site contractor employees' safety and job attitudes.
The study used multi-level structural equation modeling (MSEM) to test hypothesized relationships among variables with survey data collected from 1,720 employees of 68 on-site contractor organizations and 3,205 employees of six host organizations.
At the organization-level, host organizations' safety climates were associated with their on-site contractor employees' safety behaviors, job attitudes, and injuries, and these effects were mediated by the safety climate of the on-site contractor organizations.
This study demonstrates that the safety climates of host organizations can extend to their on-site contractor organizations. Therefore, fostering a positive safety climate not only benefits the host organizations themselves but also creates a crucial environmental cue that shapes the safety climate and outcomes of on-site contractors.
Leading by example and fostering a positive safety climate within the organization are effective ways for a host organization to ensure the safety of its on-site contractors.
尽管人们对高风险行业现场承包商相关的安全风险日益关注，但很少有研究探讨主办组织如何影响其安全。本研究从开放系统的角度出发，调查了主办组织的安全氛围对现场承包商员工的安全和工作态度的影响。
该研究使用多层次结构方程模型（MSEM），利用从 68 家现场承包商组织的 1720 名员工和 6 家主办组织的 3205 名员工的调查数据，检验了变量之间的假设关系。
在组织层面上，主办组织的安全氛围与现场承包商员工的安全行为、工作态度和伤害有关，而这些影响是通过现场承包商组织的安全氛围来介导的。
本研究表明，主办组织的安全氛围可以延伸到其现场承包商组织。因此，培养积极的安全氛围不仅有利于主办组织自身，而且为现场承包商的安全氛围和结果创造了一个关键的环境线索。
以身作则并在组织内部营造积极的安全氛围是主办组织确保现场承包商安全的有效途径。
