“…The prediction that self-efficacy mediates the relationship between affective commitment and safety climate was also supported. It also extends prior studies that place safety climate as a direct antecedent variable of affective commitment (Soraperra et al, 2015).…”

Workplace safety has emerged as a prime concern for construction workers, since they are at high risk of accidents leading to serious injuries or even death. Workplace accidents yearn harmful ramifications for both the employee as well as the employer. In past so many studies have been conducted on the relationship between affective commitment and safety climate. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore the mediating role of self-efficacy on the relationship between affective commitment and safety climate in the construction industry. This research is purely quantitative in nature because all the data related to this research study was primary data and data is collected from employees working in construction industry in Afghanistan through questionnaires . In this study, the researcher connected safety climate with affective commitment. More specifically, the researcher introduced self-efficacy as mediators for the relationships between affective commitment and safety climate. This study verified the relationship between affective commitment and safety climate with mediating role of self-efficacy.

“…They found two-factor model (management commitment and workers involvement) is suitable for the construction industry. Since then, there have been many safety climate studies in the construction industry (Fang et al 2006, Gao et al 2016, Gillen et al 2002, Hon et al 2014, Lingard et al 2012, Meliá et al 2008, Mohamed 2002, Siu et al 2004, Soraperra et al 2015, Zhou et al 2011. Reviewing 56 studies conducted in the construction industry about safety climate Schwatka et al ( 2016) identified a majority of the studies adapted and used an instrument developed for construction (Arcury et al 2012, Gillen et al 2002, Sparer et al 2013, Teo and Feng 2011 or a different industry while others developed their own safety climate survey instrument (Kines et al 2010, Mohamed 2002.…”

The construction industry is a high-risk industry known for high fatality rates all over the world. It is quite different from other industries due to its complicated processes, changing work locations, and complex work environments. A wide range of safety management approaches have been introduced and used to manage construction risks, thus advanced methods and approaches are required to further reduce accidents and incidents. High-reliability organising has emerged from research into high hazard industries where collective mindfulness is recognised as a thriving concept that leads these organisations to maintain error free operations. In this study, the Mindfulness Organising Scale is introduced as a safety climate dimension. The five principles of collective mindfulness: preoccupation with failure, reluctance to simplify, sensitivity to operations, commitment to resilience, and deference to expertise can measure the degree of anticipating safety problems and containing them after accidents and incidents occur in a construction organisation. Safety climate is often considered a predictor of safety behaviour. It checks whether the behaviour of people in the organisation matches the rhetoric. The commonly used indicators to measure safety climate in construction are management commitment to safety; safety policies, resources, and training; supervisor commitment to safety; organizational commitment to safety; co-workers' commitment to safety; safety communication; worker involvement in safety; risk appraisal and risk-taking. Along with them, a mindfulness organising scale is recommended to measure the safety climate to identify the pitfalls of current safety management practices in a construction organisation.
