Investigating the Impact of Safety Culture on Safety Behavior mediated by safety climate and safety motivation through the Combination of PLS-SEM and NCA
This study empirically investigated the relationship between workers' safety behaviors and safety culture, safety climate, and safety motivation at the manufacturing industry. It analyzed the role of these factors to identify and analyze factors that strengthen workers' safety behaviors that contribute to preventing major accidents in companies. According to Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency's industrial accident survey data, the accident rate of manufacturing workers is the second highest in the construction industry. When an accident occurs, companies have to bear not only direct costs but also indirect costs such as human loss, material loss, production loss, and time loss, resulting in huge loss costs. Based on the results of previous studies, this study investigated the effects of corporate safety culture on safety behavior through the mediation of safety climate and safety motivation among production and labor workers in the manufacturing industry. Statistical analysis was conducted on 271 manufacturing workers using PLS and NCA, and the results showed that corporate safety culture can lead to workers' safety behavior by influencing safety climate and enhancing workers' safety motivation.
