A cross-validation of a structural equation model of accidents: Organizational and psychological variables as predictors of work safety

The influence of organizational factors on safety in Taiwanese high-risk industries

“…In the past several decades, organizational factors have been found by several safety climate studies to serve as antecedents of accidents and injuries (Flin, Mearns, O'Connor, & Bryden, 2000;Hofmann & Stetzer, 1996;Lee & Harrison, 2000;Tomas, Melia, & Oliver, 1999;Zohar, 1980), and have become leading indicators of performance in evaluating occupational safety climate (Flin et al, 2000).…”

Validating a Safety Climate Model in Metal Processing Industries: A Replication Study

“…Over the past decades of safety research, safety climate has been shown to be an important indicator of positive safety performance [2] and the safety behavior of employees [10]. Recent meta-analyses revealed safety climate to be a powerful predictor of objective and subjective safety criteria across industries and countries (e.g., Guldenmund [26]).…”

“…Safety climate has received substantial attention due to its potential for explaining variation in safety-related outcomes in organizations [7,8,9] and has become an important indicator of safety performance 1 [2] as well as of the unsafe behavior of employees [10]. Safety climate refers to the employees' perceptions of the safety policies, safety procedures and safety practices, and of the value, importance and priority of safety within an organization.…”

The Relationship amongst Person-Organization Fit, Safety Consciousness, Safety Climate and Safety Behavior

“…Moreover, the management's commitment to safety and the minimization of the risks at work pave the way for the development of positive attitudes and behaviors by the employees (Coyle-Shapiro & Kessler, 2000). Positive SC encourages employees to engage in SB together with organizational rewards, while negative SC encourages unsafe behaviors (Oliver, Cheyne, Tomas, & Cox, 2002;Tomas, Melia, & Oliver, 1999). At the same time, it provides the sustainability of SB, including positive SC, safety participation and compliance (Cheyne, Cox, Oliver, & Tomas, 1998).…”
