“…Moreover, PsyCap has shown a protective impact on sleepiness when worries about accidents were low (Valdersnes et al, 2017), thus influencing safety behaviors and reducing safety‐related stress (Wang et al, 2018a). Finally, PsyCap has been found to moderate the association between work–family conflict and anxiety and depressive symptoms (Yu & Li, 2020). However, this moderation is not always supported (Grover et al, 2018 in a sample of nurses), and further research is needed.…”

Psychological Capital has been proposed as one of the main bases of the current competitive advantage of any organization; therefore, many studies have assessed the effects of this variable on different work environments. However, to date, no study has addressed systematically the existing research on PsyCap as a mediating and moderating variable in the workplace. The aim of this paper is to respond to the need for reconstruction and reinforcement of the theory surrounding PsyCap and to shed light on the factors that seem to influence the PsyCap levels. Studies included in the Web of Science (WOS) and PsycINFO databases from 2004 to 2020 are reviewed. The results show the importance of PsyCap within the fields of creativity, psychological health, performance, job satisfaction, organizational climate, leadership and other emerging issues. Furthermore, we propose a new classification to integrate all these antecedents of PsyCap, which has important theoretical and practical implications.

“…With increases in the mechanization and automation of coal mining enterprises, mine production capacities have improved, though this means that the work stress of front-line coal miners has increased. Under high-pressure working conditions, job performances have also become unstable [ 39 ]. Extended periods of underground work can lead to distractions, resulting in an increase in unsafe behavior.…”

Background: Studies have indicated that coal miners in China have higher levels of perceived job stress. However, few studies have investigated the work stress structure of coal miners. Objective: Our study focused on the work stress of coal miners in China, with a primary aim to determine the work stress structure of coal miners in China using a mixed-methods approach. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were performed with thirty-three people (team leaders and frontline coal miners) conducted with participants from various state-owned large- and medium-sized coal mines in China. Grounded theory was used to construct an initial model for the concept of coal miners’ work stress. Using the results of this initial survey and findings in the existing literature, we then constructed a preliminary questionnaire regarding coal miners’ work stress and administered the questionnaire to 900 coal miners in the Shaanxi, Henan, Inner Mongolia, and Gansu provinces. Results: The results show that the work stress structure for coal miners differs from that for other occupational types in China, due to differences in the Chinese culture and foreign cultural influences. We revised our questionnaire based on these considerations and administered a new survey to the frontline production workers in coal mines. The preliminary questionnaires were revised and analyzed through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, resulting in a final formal model for work stress, which was supported by content and structural validity. Conclusion: In this research, we used the framework of grounded theory to conduct an empirical analysis of the structure model of coal miners’ work stress. The findings support that the primary work stress factors of Chinese coal miners included the stress of the work environment, job responsibility, interpersonal relationships, career development, the family environment, and organizational systems. Coal enterprises should therefore always take these factors into consideration when developing and implementing safety management policies aimed at to improve the occupational health status of coal miners.

“…(3) Coal mine safety management ( Table 6 ): As shown by the previous studies [ 33 ], China’ coal mine safety production levels were in an unstable state from 2008 to 2015. As a result, the papers on corporate safety culture building [ 111 , 112 , 113 ], safety atmosphere (miners’ work–family atmosphere, socio-economic and safety atmosphere, and safety atmosphere at the enterprise leadership level) [ 114 , 115 , 116 ], coal mining capacity and risk assessment, and government-enterprise game and management effectiveness analysis [ 117 , 118 , 119 ] were centralized in this period. News coverage of coal mine accidents in China became a popular direction of attention for some scholars around 2019 [ 120 , 121 , 122 ], who assessed the social impact of accidents and the leading role of social opinion by analyzing the methods and approaches of news coverage.…”

The risk of coal mine accidents rises significantly with mining depth, making it urgent for accident prevention to be supported by both scientific analysis and advanced technologies. Hence, a comprehensive grasp of the research progress and differences in hotspots of coal mine accidents in China serves as a guide to find the shortcomings of studies in the field, promote the effectiveness of coal mine disaster management, and enhance the prevention and control ability of coal mine accidents. This paper analyzes Chinese and foreign literature based on data mining algorithms (LSI + Apriori), and the findings indicate that: (1) 99% of the available achievements are published in Chinese or English-language journals, with the research history conforming to the stage of Chinese coal industry development, which is characterized by “statistical description, risk evaluation, mechanism research, and intelligent reasoning”. (2) Chinese authors are the primary contributors that lead and contribute to the continued development of coal mine accident research in China globally. Over 81% of the authors and over 60% of the new authors annually are from China. (3) The emphasis of the Chinese and English studies is different. Specifically, the Chinese studies focus on the analysis of accident patterns and causes at the macroscale, while the English studies concentrate on the occupational injuries of miners at the small-scale and the mechanism of typical coal mine disasters (gas and coal spontaneous combustion). (4) The research process in Chinese is generally later than that in English due to the joint influence of the target audience, industrial policy, and scientific research evaluation system. After 2018, the Chinese studies focus significantly on AI technology in deep mining regarding accident rules, regional variation analysis, risk monitoring and early warning, as well as knowledge intelligence services, while the hotspots of English studies remain unchanged. Furthermore, both Chinese and English studies around 2019 focus on “public opinion”, with Chinese ones focusing on serving the government to guide the correct direction of public opinion while English studies focus on critical research of news authenticity and China’s safety strategy.
