Factors that Affect Enterprise Safe Production: A Meta-analysis Based on View of Employees' Safety Behavior

Abstract

Abstract:

Employees' safety behavior plays a basic role in keeping enterprises safe production and contributes significantly to the improvement of employees' occupational health and safety and enterprises' safety management. This study collects related domestic and overseas researches, adopts meta-analysis and structural equation model to analyze the relationship between employees' safety behavior and enterprises' safe production. Totally 26 independent samples from 23 research papers are used in meta-analysis. The results show that safety behavior has significant negative relationship with safety outcome and significant positive relationship with safety management, research design, development degree of a country and enterprises' scale has insignificant moderating effects, nature of industry has a significant moderating effect. Based on results of meta-analysis, this study further proves that safety behavior has a positive impact on safe production. Therefore, enterprises should take appropriate measures that fit in with the dimension of safety behavior in order to improve employees' safety behavior and ensure enterprises safe production.

Key words: safety behavior, safety production, safety outcome, safety management, meta-analysis
