“…Secondly, this study used WE and SKS as mediating variables to investigate the influence of JS on SB. Future studies could concentrate on other mediating variables like safety climate [ 82 , 122 ] and safety-culture attitudes [ 123 ] to fulfil the influencing mechanism; in addition, some ergonomic factors [ 124 ] that affect safety behavior could be considered in the mechanism to further expand the knowledge body of safety behavior in construction industry, which maybe provides a new perspective to explore the relationship of job satisfaction and construction workers’ safety behavior through both psychosocial and ergonomics factors. Third, due to the cross-sectional peculiarity of the questionnaire survey, the results concluded from obtained data at a given time, space and population only represent the relationship among variables within a short specific interval for the NGCWs.…”

“…Unsafe behavior can be rectified or even prevented through wide and full SKS [ 60 ]. Research reveals that knowledge sharing behavior further improves the quality of staff’s knowledge, their safety participation inclination and compliance with occupational safety regulations [ 82 ]. Therefore, the following hypotheses are proposed:…”

China’s construction industry developed rapidly and safety production has become a vital issue. Improving the safety behavior of construction workers is an important measure to effectively decrease construction safety accidents. At present, a New Generation of Construction Workers (NGCWs) born after 1980 has gradually become the main force of construction companies in China and the special group characteristics coming from the intergenerational difference may make them behave differently in safety-related activities, therefore, it is very important to study how to promote their safety behavior. This paper aimed to explore the influencing mechanism of job satisfaction on the safety behavior of NGCWs and examine the mediating role of safety knowledge sharing and work engagement. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling analysis were applied to test the theoretical model. Empirical research results indicated that job satisfaction can effectively promote safety behavior through safety knowledge sharing and work engagement. Safety knowledge sharing plays a complete mediating role between job satisfaction and safety compliance behavior, as well as between job satisfaction and safety participation behavior. Moreover, work engagement plays a complete mediating role between job satisfaction and safety participation behavior, which can provide valuable management references for China’s construction companies to strengthen their safety behavior.

“…This study overcomes the suggestions of exploring the role of potential moderators (Jung, Kang, & Choi, 2020;Kim & Beehr, 2018a;Kim, Moon, & Shin, 2018;Zhang, Ke, Frank Wang, & Liu, 2018) with another different sample size i.e. blue or white-collar employees (Kim & Beehr, 2018b) and in a different profession (Y.-H. Lee, Lu, Yang, & Chang, 2019;Xin, Cai, Zhou, Baroudi, & Khapova, 2020) to explore other different outcomes (Kim & Beehr, 2019a). The current study also answers to the call for future research in the meta-analysis of (Schuler, Binnewies, & Bürkner, 2019) where they call to investigate the relationship of JC with burnout, the present study overcome the suggestions of (Kundu, Kumar, & Gahlawat, 2019) to investigate potential mediator between the relationship of EL and individual's job outcomes.…”

Integration of social cognitive theory and hardiness theory, this study aimed to investigate the mediating mechanism of job crafting and the direct effect of empowering leadership that causes occupational burnout with the sample from law enforcement institutions. The authors also tested the moderating effect of employee optimism and employee hardiness between the linkage of job crafting and occupational burnout. To test the proposed hypothesis of this study, 192 participants from the law enforcement institution of Punjab, Pakistan participate in this study voluntarily. The findings of the study suggest that job crafting mediates the relationship between empowering leadership and occupational burnout. Furthermore, the authors found that employee optimism and hardiness moderate the relationship between empowering leadership and occupational burnout. The result of moderated mediation analysis revealed that the indirect effect of empowering leadership on occupational burnout was weakening when employee optimism and hardiness level was high. The findings of this study declared that empowering leadership has adverse consequences on employees’ physical and psychological health that decrease the well-being and employee optimism and hardiness reduce that stress level and enhance the intrinsic motivational level. Top management of law enforcement institutions must focus especially on the psychological health of employees and provide climate and psychological training that mitigates the harmful consequences of empowering leadership. Also, the authors through this study respond to the calls of prior researches as slight researches have studied the negative consequences of empowering leadership.

“…Empowering leaders encourage workers to take part in discussions and decision making on safety-related aspects. This helps in creating a culture of knowledge sharing and alterations of behavior towards safety compliance [37]. The motivation from peers, appreciation at workplace, rewards, and incentives for safe behavior along with proper incident and investigation reporting results into positive perception towards the safety culture.…”

Training is important for the development of skills and knowledge. The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of post- safety training on the supervisors learning process, behaviour towards safety and development of safe work environment in the automotive original equipment manufacturing (OEM) companies. In the present study, a total of 129 supervisor level employees from different Indian automotive OEMs units, who have undergone a minimum of one-day safety training in the past three years, were a part of the survey. The survey was administered with the aid of a pre-validated designed questionnaire (developed in consultation with industry experts) to collect responses from the supervisor’s level employees during the period of January- August 2019. The 63 different manufacturing OEM automotive units from the Delhi- NCR and Pune- Nashik - Kolhapur from Western region agreed to participate in the survey. The results obtained were tested using multiple hierarchical regression analysis in a stepwise method, along with the correlation coefficient analysis. The results indicated that knowledge acquisition, learning process, and employee involvement regarding risks and hazards identification were positively related to the perceived effectiveness of post- safety training by the supervisors. It was further found that the post- safety training has no significant contribution towards the perceived self- behavior change and development of safe work environment. The effectiveness of safety training and development of safe environment along with the change in behavior towards the safety is related to factors such as related education in safety and health, working experience in the field of safety or EHS domain and knowledge of the supervisors gained through their career which play a significant role. A safety culture can be created by the organization by harnessing the safety-related work experience of the supervisors and periodically conducting the skill development program.
