| 总结: | Organizational injuries and accident has become a major issue in many countries, especially, among the construction workers. Investigating safety performance of construction employees has therefore become priority. This research objective is to investigate the moderating effect of social support on the relationship between safety training, safety rules and construction employee's safety behavior in Saudi Arabia. Partial Least Square techniques (PLS) approach was used test the hypotheses with a data collected among 282 foreign workers from construction companies. The finding shows that safety rules and procedures are significantly related to safety behavior (both compliance and participation. In contrast, we did not find any significant relationship between safety training and construction 's safety behavior. Additionally, social support moderates the relationships between safety training and safety compliance. The finding in this study offers additional empirical support of social support as moderator and contributes to the role of social exchange theory and can assist construction practitioners in Saudi Arabia on how to enhance employee's safety behavior. |
