Quantitative Study On Safety Climate And Its Relationship With Employees' Safety Behavior

Now the study on safety culture, safety climate and their relationships with employees' behavior is lacking systemization, scientificalness and limited on qualitative study. Paper deeply studies the measurement of safety climate and its relationship with employees'behavior after putting forward the definite definition of safety climate and discriminating the differences between safety climate and safety culture clearly. Basing on the key elements of enterprise's safety management brought forward by JM Stewart, measurement method of safety climate is designed, applying the improved Principle Component Analytical method and four-quadrant graph method into the analytical process, and obtaining the quantitative, specific and intuitionistic results which can effectively support to indentify, advancing and implementing improvement measures scientifically. Two demonstrations research the relationship of safety climate and employees' behavior, analyzing their influences by Structural Equation Model, and the models are presented. Firstly, basing on Cheyne's research result, two factors'safety management' and 'employee involvement' are obtained which significantly positively influence employees' safety behaviors; effect coefficients are 0.37 and 0.31. Secondly, the scales of safety climate, safety behaviors, work stress, risk perception and dangerous level of working environment are designed on literature analysis. The path coefficient of safety climate's factor management commitment to safety behavior is 0.23 and others are also obtained. The two demonstrations all prove the significant influence of safety climate to safety behaviors. Paper's research thought, methods and results are all supporting references to study on safety culture, safety climate and safety management and the safety management practices of enterprises.
