Conceptual Model of Relationship Between Transformational and Passive Leadership, Safety Knowledge, Safety Attitude, Riding Confidence, Risk Perception, and Risky Driving Behavior

Abstract

In 2020 the development of online public transportation in Indonesia increased significantly. There will be 21.7 million registered users in Indonesia. Online motorcycle taxis are public transportation that is in great demand by the public. But besides that, the high number of motorcycle accidents and especially the high number of online motorcycle taxi drivers is a new problem in online motorcycle taxi public transportation security services. Although, the online motorcycle taxi company has collaborated with PT. Sarana Aman Berkendara since 2016 until now, as a facilitator for online motorcycle taxi drivers in conducting driving safety training programs purposed to prioritize the safety and comfort of passengers. But the results according to the Minister of Transportation in 2017, Budi Karya stated that online motorcycle taxis accounted for 58.715 cases of road accidents in 2017. That indicates that online motorcycle taxi drivers engage in unsafe driving behavior. So, this study aims to determine the influence of factors that influence risky driving behavior and the differences in their effects on drivers who have participated in the driver safety program of PT. Sarana Aman Berkendara and those who have not followed the safety program. This study uses several models that have applied to previous studies. Our model consists of 5 variables and 74 indicators. There are ten hypotheses to be tested using the SEM-PLS method. We used 140 respondents as our sample. The results showed that the sample drivers who took part in the program and did not follow the program had the same number. There are four relationship hypotheses rejected. Other than that, it shows that safety knowledge and riding confidence are perceived to play a major role in reducing risky driving behavior. The recommendation for online motorcycle taxi transportation is to increase the influence of transformational leaders so that safety knowledge will be increased and reduce risky driving behavior.
