The Relationship between Supervisor Safety, Safety Management Practices, and Safety Compliance Behaviour among Employees

Abstract

This cross-sectional research was conducted to establish the relationship between supervisor safety, safety management practices, and safety compliance behaviour among medical laboratory personnel in the private sector. There were 119 respondents from private medical laboratories in Selangor. The data were collected using a survey questionnaire adopted from past research that measured supervisor safety, safety management practices, and safety compliance behaviour. The data obtained from the study were analysed using SPSS. The findings show that supervisor safety has a positive correlation with safety compliance behaviour. Meanwhile, safety management practices were not significantly correlated to the dependent variable. The results of this study could give additional information to the private medical laboratory organisations in improving their safety practices and management for a safe and healthy work environment.

Relationship Between National Culture Dimensions and Safety Climate in Construction Companies of Abu Dhabi

“…For instance, research conducted in Scandinavian countries revealed that a positive safety climate was linked to reduced injury rates and improved safety performance (15). Similarly, an Indian study found that a robust supervisor-worker relationship, contributing to a positive safety climate, resulted in improved safety performance (13). These findings emphasize that a favorable safety climate plays a pivotal role in establishing a secure work environment and averting occupational mishaps (15).…”

“…Safety climate, a gauge of an organization's safety culture, wields considerable influence over occupational safety and health (OSH) outcomes (12). Vinodkumar and Bhasi (2009) introduced a safety climate tool, specifically a safety climate questionnaire, designed to evaluate safety climate within organizations (12,13,14). This instrument aims to capture employees' perceptions regarding safetyrelated elements like management's dedication to safety, supervisor safety practices, and coworker safety conduct (12,13).…”
