Purpose-This study aims to investigate the effects of job demands and job resources model on blue collar employees' job related strain and safety behavior levels. Methodology-For the purpose of the research, the data which were collected from 235 blue collar workers from one of the transportation company by the survey method were analyzed by using partial least squares-structural equation modeling method. While conducting analysis, Smart PLS program was used by applying bootstrapping technique (5000 resample) to determine the significance levels of the proposed hypotheses and also Anderson and Gerbing (1988) two-step approach has been used. Findings-Research results indicate that some of the dimensions of job demands labelled as work overload, role ambiguity and job insecurity have a positive and significant effect on job related strain. However, job insecurity has a negative and significant effect on employees' safety behaviors. In addition, research results show that one of the component of job resources which is addressed as organizational support has a positive and significant effect on employees' safety behaviors. Conclusion-The study reveals that job demands and job resources are the significant determinants of the job related strain and safety behaviors. Therefore, it can be concluded that in order to remove unsafe behaviors and decreasing job related strain, organizations need to maintain favourable working conditions which considers work life balance and employees' well-being.
