“…Values have been associated with, for example, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, turnover, trust, personorganization fit, readiness to change, and performance (e.g., Adkins and Russell, 1997;Adkins et al, 1994;Alas, 2009;Cable and DeRue, 2002;Cazier et al, 2006Cazier et al, , 2007Chatman, 1989;Liedrka, 1989;Meglino et al, 1989Meglino et al, , 1992Valentine et al, 2002;Watrous et al, 2006). Their impact has been investigated not just within the United States but around the world (e.g., Alas and Wei, 2008;Hofstede, 2002;House et al, 2004;Moran et al, 2007, Posner and Westwood, 1995.…”

Abstract. The current study proposes a model for a positive safety culture with a knowledge management dimension and tests this on a sample of 1757 employees from Estonian SMEs in different branches of industry, using the factor analysis. Despite conceptual and empirical justification, researchers have not consistently included concepts of knowledge management in safety culture studies. This paper explores the possibility of using Knowledge Management in the Occupational Health and Safety Management System. The paper reports on an empirical examination of the relationship between safety climate and safety culture through a knowledge management dimension with a special focus on the management of safety knowledge. The results of this study indicate that a safety climate has impact on the three dimensions of safety culture, namely psychological, behavioral and organizational aspects of safety culture. This paper supplements Cooper's Reciprocal Model of Safety Culture with Knowledge Management System Dimensions. Several specific features of knowledge management, such as communication, personal competence and responsibility, were found to influence the relationship between a safety climate and a safety culture. Thus, an effective assessment tool for the evaluation of knowledge management dimensions of safety culture could be proposed based on the results of this study.

“…Thus, the purpose of the present study is to examine a model of relationships between factors likely to influence academic attitudes. Researchers previously have assessed relationships between academic attitudes and other variables such as personality (e.g., Aluja‐Fabregat, Balleste‐Almacellas, & Torrubia‐Beltri, ), personal values (e.g., Alas, ), motivation (e.g., Gard, Lindstrom, & Dallner, ), and readiness to change (e.g., Grant & Franklin, ). Influenced by this research, we posited that values related to personal growth will be influenced by personality factors, that the perceived instrumentality of a college education will be influenced by personality and personal growth, that readiness to change will be influenced by personal growth, and that academic attitudes will be influenced by instrumentality and readiness to change (see Figure ).…”

In today's competitive workplace, individuals who are best prepared will have the greatest chance of obtaining and retaining jobs. Students can better prepare by developing the maximum possible knowledge and skills during their college educations. Research has shown that attitudes and perceptual variables have significant effects on development activity in organizations. We extend that research by using structural equations modeling to examine influences on attitudes toward one's college education. We posited that Big Five personality factors influence personal growth, readiness to change, and the perceived instrumentality of a university education and that these factors influence attitudes toward education. Results supported the posited model. A better understanding of antecedents of attitudes can enhance educational intervention effectiveness.
