“…In particular, this volitional factor acted as a prominent antecedent of post-pandemic behavioral intentions for safer destination choices. This result supported the previous research [ 16 , 21 , 22 ], which indicated the importance of the subjective norm to explain one’s safe/risk behaviors. This finding provided us valuable information that individuals’ perceived social pressures from family/friends/others are of the utmost criticality when they form any decision related to making a safe behavioral choice or taking risks.…”

“…In addition, little empirical research has expanded the TPB for a more comprehensive explication of travelers’ choice decisions/behaviors for safe tourism destinations/products, despite the theory’s high applicability. Moreover, considerable evidence in the recent literature indicated the essential role of the perceived knowledge and the psychological risks with increasing our understanding of customers’ safe/risky behavioral choices [ 16 , 20 , 21 , 22 ]. However, no research has yet broadened the TPB by comprising the interplay between the key factors of this theory and the perceived knowledge and deepened the TPB by encompassing the possible influence of the psychological risk into the theory.…”

The tourism industry has been seriously suffering from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) crisis ever since its outbreak. Given this pandemic situation, the major aim of this study is to develop a conceptual framework that clearly explains the US international tourists’ post-pandemic travel behaviors by expanding the theory of planned behavior (TPB). By utilizing a quantitative process, the TPB was successfully broadened by incorporating the travelers’ perceived knowledge of COVID-19, and it has been deepened by integrating the psychological risk. Our theoretical framework sufficiently accounted for the US tourists’ post-pandemic travel intentions for safer international destinations. In addition, the perceived knowledge of COVID-19 contributed to boosting the prediction power for the intentions. The associations among the subjective norm, the attitude, and the intentions are under the significant influence of the tourists’ psychological risks regarding international traveling. The comparative criticality of the subjective norm is found. Overall, the findings of this study considerably enhanced our understanding of US overseas tourists’ post-pandemic travel decision-making processes and behaviors.

“…Some results are consistent with the findings of previous studies [ 9 , 39 – 41 ], including the challenges of using PPE, the need for adequate and up-to-date safety training, high workloads contributing to safety procedures not being implemented and managed in an effective manner that facilitated their use in industrial settings. However, there has been limited safety research in the petrochemical industry aimed at identifying factors discouraging safe work behaviour, such as the studies by Cheng and colleagues [ 9 ], Xue and colleagues [ 42 ], Min and colleagues [ 43 ], Hong and colleagues [ 44 ].…”

Factors associated with unsafe work behaviours in an Iranian petrochemical company: perspectives of workers, supervisors, and safety managers

et al. 2020

Background: The petrochemical industry is hazardous, in part because of the inherently dangerous nature of the work conducted, and incidents frequently result in significant financial and social losses. The most common immediate cause of incidents and injuries in this industry is unsafe worker behaviour. Identifying the factors encouraging unsafe work behaviours is the first step in taking action to discourage them. The aim of this study was to (a) explore workers', supervisors' and safety managers' attitudes and perceptions of safety in a petrochemical company in Iran, and (b) identify the factors that discourage safe work behaviours. Methods: A qualitative study was conducted by applying the steps described by Graneheim and Lundman (2004). Twenty participants were recruited from an Iranian petrochemical company using a multi-stage approach, with initial purposive sampling followed by snowball sampling to enhance recruitment. Individual face-to-face and semistructured interviews were conducted to gain an in-depth understanding of factors acting as barriers to safe behaviour. The interviews were recorded and transcribed in Persian and then translated into English. Conventional content analysis was performed. Results: The main themes emerging from the interviews were: (i) poor direct safety management and supervision; (ii) unsafe workplace conditions; (iii) workers' perceptions, skills and training; and (iv) broader organisational factors. Conclusions: The findings give insights into practical organisational measures that can be implemented by management to promote workers' commitment to safety and engage in safe behaviours in their workplace. Trial registration: Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials: IRCT20170515033981N2. Retrospectively registered 19 June 2018.
