This study examines the interactive relationship between three dimensions of safety climate (management commitment to safety, priority of safety, and pressure for production), and their impact on risk behavior reported by employees. The sample consisted of 623 employees from a chemical manufacturing organization in South Africa. Hierarchical regression analyses were carried out to test the direct effects and the interaction effect of the three safety climate dimensions on risk behavior. The results showed that, as expected, employees' risk behavior was negatively related to management commitment to safety and priority of safety and positively related to pressure for production. Moreover, as expected, the three-way interaction between management commitment to safety, priority of safety and pressure for production was significant. When pressure for production was high, management commitment to safety was positively related to risk behavior, regardless of level of priority of safety on plant. When pressure for production was low, the effect of management commitment to safety on risk behavior was nullified under conditions of high, as compared to low priority of safety on plant. These findings highlight the importance of managerial commitment to safety in contexts where employees experience tensions between production deadlines and safety procedures.

“…The low violation, high knowledge transfer capabilities, and low job stress seem to be particularly important to mechanics safety intentions and behaviour. Rundmo (1996) concluded that the safety objectives seemed to be reached more effectively when the shop floor workers are committed to safety and are actively involved in safety work.…”

This research examined the impact of attitude, behavioural intentions and actual behaviour on aircraft safety amongst by analyzing data collected from aircraft line maintenance mechanics in Hong Kong. The research used two conceptual framework models and structural equation ISSN 1941-899X 2013 www.macrothink.org/jmr 134 modeling to compare two aircraft maintenance companies and was based on the theory of reasoned action and the theory of planned behaviour. It was hypothesized that attitude affects behavioural intentions and that behavioural intentions in turn affect actual behaviour; that behaviour then impacts aircraft safety. Data were collected through a questionnaire survey from 380 line maintenance mechanics in two aircraft maintenance companies located in Hong Kong. The survey produced 262 valid responses of which 129 came from company A and 133 came from company B. Principal component analysis and structural equation modeling were used to analyze the data in order to extract common factors underlying attitude and behavioural intentions, determine the relationships between the dimensions of safety attitude and behavioural intentions, and compare the differences between the two companies. Reliability and validity of the data was found to be within acceptable limits. Results indicate that there is relationship between attitude, behavioural intentions and behaviour in accordance with the theory of reasoned action and the theory of planned behaviour. The hypothesis is supported by the study's conclusion that maintenance mechanics' attitude will predict their behavioural intentions as well as their safety behaviour and that this will indirectly affect aircraft safety.

“…Several previous studies within the domain of occupational safety have shown that employee motivation of safety is important for employee risk and accident-preventing behaviour (Cohen, 1977;Probst & Brubaker, 2001;Rundmo, 1996;Rundmo & Iversen, 2007;Smith et al, 1978). However, efforts to link safety motivation to policy demands within the transport domain remain scant.…”

There is insufficient knowledge regarding the role of personality traits, transport-related risk cognitions and safety motivation for demand for transport risk mitigation. The aim of this study is to test a model aimed to predict public demand for transport risk mitigation by these psychological risk constructs. A mailed self-completion questionnaire survey was conducted in a random sample of the Norwegian population aged 18-65 years obtained from the Norwegian population registry (n = 1947). Results from structural equation modeling supported the hypothesis that sensation seeking, normlessness, risk cognitions and transportrelated worry had mediated associations with demand for transport risk mitigation through safety motivation. There were no differences in the strength of associations related to gender and age. The findings are discussed in relation to personality-entailed measures as well as the link between cognitive and emotional approaches to transport risk.
