Abstract:

In order to study the reason of objective deviation in the process of marketization of the safety evaluation system, grounded theory is applied in the research and a model of interaction of three participants is established by means of in-depth interview. It is found in this paper that local safety inspection authorities prefer symbolic inspection strategies, service agencies prefer self-preservation and profit-seeking strategies, small and medium enterprises prefer faking compliance. These strategies are formed under their dominant logics, resource dependence as well as the influence of other two participants' behavior strategies. These passive behavioral strategies have negative effect on the interaction and may lead to the objective deviation of the safety.
