The safety management is one of important factors. However, the satisfaction of safety manager is lowering. Therefore, this study focuses on comparing the impact that working conditions have on the job satisfaction of field and safety manager in construction field. The results of in this study, the basic wage, medical care, and leisure activity were analyzed as a positive impact on job satisfaction. In addition, the comparison result of the field manager and safety manager showed that safety manager appeared to be a greater impact on the basic wage than the field manager. Also, this study showed that the medical care and leisure activity have a positive impact on the job satisfaction of field manager, but the industrial accident and accommodation facility have a positive impact on the job satisfaction of safety manager.

“…The most relevant external criterion for the efficiency of professional road drivers seems to be the safety behavior on public roads (McCormick & Tiffin, 1980). In spite of the objections related to employing traffic accidents (Svansson & Hyden, 2006), we claim that the analysis of traffic conflicts requires creating artificial situations for drivers and that is why it is connected with higher measurement error than the real road traffic environment.…”

“…Therefore, the considered validity of transport psychology tests, in effect, deals with standardized driving test experiments or training conditions, which is important but not sufficient, rather than with the criterion related to real-life safety driving on public roads which, in turn, are very different situations. Such a statement is not in accordance with the classical industrial psychology methodology, which requires comparing test outcomes with real-life behavior in a perspective of two years (e.g., McCormick & Tiffin, 1980;Landy & Conte, 2010).…”

The aim of the paper is to investigate which psychometric tools commonly used by Polish transport psychologists appropriately measure necessary abilities of professional drivers. According to Levis-Eva ns' differentiation between the driver 's performa nce and the driver's behavior, we explored a statistical relation between the results of tests currently used by transport psychologists, measured according to Szalma's individual differences and safe behaviors on roads. We examine validity of tests using data based on real professional drivers' behavior. The sample included 200 drivers involved in accidents and collisions, and 100 who behaved safely. We tested external validity of chosen psychometric tools by analyzing statistically the relation between test scores and unsafe driving behavior recorded by the police. The results show that only few mea surements are valid for differentiation of safe and unsafe drivers. The paper indicates the methodology to reach the prognostic value of the diagnostic tests employed by transport psychologist. Key words: safety behavior, external validity, transport psychology Theoretical BackgroundSince the time when psychologists became interested in road transportation, numerous psychometric tools, including cognitive ability tests and psychomotoric ones have been developed to diagnose individuals applying for a driver's license. This interest in testing these applicants appears already in the classic Münsterberg's book on industrial psychology (Münsterberg, 1913). From this analysis, however, the following question arises: which psychometric tools most appropriately measure abilities that predict safety-related human behavior in road traffic situations? Szalma (2009) argues that individual differences in human factors/ergonomics should be incorporated into research and practice. Within traffic and transport psychology, different research approaches have attempted to explain individual differences in risky driving behavior and traffic accident involvement, which assumes more complex processes and such factors as: aggressive driving

“…Employee job satisfaction must be created as much as possible in order to morale, dedication, passion, and increase the discipline of employees (McCormick & Tiffin, 1979). This attitude is reflected by the morale, discipline, and job performance.…”

“…High job satisfaction may result in a lower turnover rate (Mangkunagara, 2013). Job satisfaction relates to the attitude of employees toward work itself, work situation, cooperation between leaders and fellow leaders and fellow employees (Tiffin, 1979). Job satisfaction is a feeling or workers associated with his work, which was happy or not happy, as the results of the assessment of the individual concerned to work (Locke et al, 1998;Luthans, 1995).…”

The objective of this research is to investigate employee satisfaction in one of Indonesian business firms named BM*. The study also tries to identify different factors influencing on employee satisfaction in the firm and to give appropriate suggestion for performance improvement. Methodology of this research is based on a survey and a questionnaire based on Human Resource Index (HRI) with measure 15 is used for the assessment. The results show that employee satisfaction of BM* was relatively high. However, some of the attributes show the HRI were low. The study gives some insight to improve the customer satisfaction.
