Towards an extended food safety culture model: Studying the moderating role of burnout and jobstress, the mediating role of food safety knowledge and motivation in the relation between food safety climate and food safety behavior

Influence of food safety culture on food handler behaviour and food safety performance of food processing organisations

“…Moreover, existing studies have assessed FSculture at company level, but the impact of the organisation's context is yet to be scientifically well studied. Context factors that influence food safety performance include external characteristics such as the political, economic, social and technological environment, food safety governance, national culture, sector values and internal characteristics that include size, location, organisational structure, and product and process characteristics (Chenhall, 2006;De Boeck et al, 2017;Fatimah et al, 2014b;Luning et al, 2011b;Taylor, 2011;Thompson et al, 1996;Van der Spiegel et al, 2003). It is important to identify the crucial contingency variables that distinguish between contexts and provide more effective internal organisation designs (Sousa & Voss, 2008).…”

“…Luning and Marcelis (2006) proposed that this approach could provide better insights into food quality issues and allow better prediction of the behaviour of systems thus allowing the development of specific solutions rather than generic best practices. De Boeck et al (2017) also emphasised the importance of human and techno-managerial approaches to FS-culture and food safety performance. Moreover, Van der Spiegel et al (2003) reiterated that for food quality assurance, the performance of production systems is controlled by integrating and assessing both technological and managerial aspects of the system.…”

“…Likewise FS-culture research considers both human systems and food production systems (De Boeck et al, 2017;Nyarugwe et al, 2018). A diagnostic tool as such, offers guidance on the assessment of food safety systems, allows differentiated assessment of the system owing to the systematic assessment of key factors, and provides insights into improvement opportunities (Luning et al, 2008).…”

“…The role of individuals in food safety/FS-culture has been argued by various authors (e.g. De Boeck et al, 2017;Griffith, 2006). Individual characteristics (Griffith et al, 2010a;Nyarugwe et al, 2016) influence decision-making behaviour and actual food safety practices (e.g.…”

“…Individual characteristics (Griffith et al, 2010a;Nyarugwe et al, 2016) influence decision-making behaviour and actual food safety practices (e.g. De Boeck et al, 2017;Pacholewicz et al, 2016;Sanny et al, 2010).…”
