Summary: | Safety climate scrutiny has been given attention by the organization in increasing productivity and
efficiency in the workplace. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between safety
climate construct factors and safety climate. Safety climate measurement as developed by
Vinodkumar and Bashi was used and distributed to the selected respondents in the national
automotive manufacturing plant. Internal consistency of six safety construct factors and correlation
between safety construct factors and safety climate were validated using reliability analysis and
Pearson correlation, respectively. The survey instrument scores had acceptable overall internal
consistency (a = 0.913). The correlation analysis indicated that only two factors in safety construct
factors have significant with safety climate. Both factors are enforcement of regulation and procedure
of safety and safeness of work environment. The finding of this study provides a useful framework for
the organization in practicing safety climate. |
