Meta-analysis of Individual Production Safety Behavior Restraint Mechanism

Abstract

Abstract:

The existence of serious production safety accident has affected the development of manufacturing industry and employees' individual security. Using meta-analysis and path analysis methods, this study based on social learning theory explores the constraint factors of individual production safety behavior, the constraint mechanism and the moderating role of cultural factors. Through the meta-analysis of 65 independent samples derived from 57 empirical researches, we find that:(1) both safety climate and safety leadership have significantly positive impact on individual production safety behavior; (2) safety communication partially mediates the relationship between safety climate and production safety behavior, completely mediates the relationship between safety leadership and production safety behavior; (3) cultural factors moderate the relationship between safety climate and individual production safety behavior, as well as the relationship between safety leadership and the individual production safety behavior. Specifically, both high power distance and collectivism positively moderate the positive relationship between safe climate and production safe behavior; high power distance positively moderates the positive relationship between safe leadership and production safe behavior. The results of the study provide theoretical guidance for enterprise safety production management from the perspective of constraining individual behavior and potential direction for future researches.

Key words: individual production safety behavior, safety climate, safety leadership, safety communication, meta-analysis
