Construction workers are often subjected to strenuous manual labor, poor working conditions, and prolonged separation from family, leading to psychological symptoms such as stress, depression, and anxiety. These psychological factors, combined with safety climate elements like risk perception and safety attitude, significantly influence workers' safety behaviors, including risk-taking, safety compliance, and safety participation. To address these issues, this study investigates the interplay between psychological symptoms, safety climate, and safety behaviors among construction workers in Mainland China. Data were collected through a survey of 160 construction workers, with results analyzed using correlation and regression techniques. The findings reveal that: (1) risky behavior is primarily driven by anxiety and risk perception; (2) safety participation is influenced by safety attitudes and levels of depression; and (3) safety compliance is affected by risk perception, safety attitude, stress, and depression. Interestingly, an inverse relationship is observed between depression and both risky behavior and safety compliance. These results underscore the importance of addressing psychological well-being to improve safety outcomes. Practical implications include providing psychological counseling, stress management training, and improving social connections for workers, such as facilitating regular video calls with family members or offering travel reimbursements.
建筑工人经常面临高强度的体力劳动、恶劣的工作条件以及与家人长期分离的情况，这导致了压力、抑郁和焦虑等心理症状。这些心理因素，再加上风险感知和安全态度等安全氛围因素，会显著影响工人的安全行为，包括冒险行为、安全合规性和安全参与度。为了解决这些问题，本研究调查了中国大陆建筑工人心理症状、安全氛围和安全行为之间的相互作用。通过对160名建筑工人进行调查收集数据，并使用相关分析和回归技术对结果进行分析。研究结果表明：（1）冒险行为主要受焦虑和风险感知的驱动；（2）安全参与度受安全态度和抑郁程度的影响；（3）安全合规性受风险感知、安全态度、压力和抑郁的影响。有趣的是，抑郁与冒险行为和安全合规性之间均呈现负相关关系。这些结果强调了关注心理健康以改善安全结果的重要性。实际意义包括为工人提供心理咨询、压力管理培训，以及改善他们的社会联系，比如促进与家人定期进行视频通话或提供差旅费报销。
