| Summary: | Occupational safety literatures reveal that human behavior is a major contributor to occupational
accidents.However, there was a lack of studies
discussing the influence of person factors that
caused accidents.The aim of this paper is to show
the role of safety commitment as a mediator in the
relationship between safety motivation and safety
performance.Using self-administered questionnaires, the study involved 663 employees
working in the petrochemical industries.The
finding indicates that safety commitment partially
mediates the relationship between safety
motivation and safety performance.Therefore,
employees’ safety commitment and motivation
are crucial for improving safety performance.
Employers, on the other hand, should establish
strategies to enhance commitment through
education and training. Reward should encourage
employees to be more proactive and participative
in safety programs. |
