Context matters: A research agenda to move beyond conventional leadership-safety relationship

The role of leadership in air traffic safety employees’ safety behavior

“…The leadership literature showed that servant leadership predicts variance above and beyond other leadership concepts for employee outcomes (Hoch et al, 2018; see also Liden et al, 2014a;Van Dierendonck, 2011) and hints on relations with the most important employee behaviors in ATC, namely, safety citizenship behavior and safety compliance. Findings that servant leadership relates positively to employee behaviors and outcomes have been replicated in the safety literature, albeit very preliminary and warranting further investigation (Mirza and Isha, 2017). For instance, two doctoral dissertations found a positive relation between servant leadership and safety behaviors and/or outcomes (Henderson, 2013;Krebs, 2005).…”

“…Favorable leaders treat employees well, which is expected to make employees reciprocating with positive behavior. This positive behavior can be hypothesized to be safety behavior in high-risk environments (Mirza and Isha, 2017), and more specifically in ATC, as reaching safety is the most important task of ATS supervisors.…”

“…As the context is important for particular outcomes, scholars have recommended to focus on the specific context when conducting research (Bamberger, 2008;Galvin, 2014;Tsui, 2006). Moreover, Mirza and Isha (2017) stated that "questions have been raised concerning leadership effectiveness mostly because extent literature remains largely oblivious to the context in which the leader-follower relationship operates". For example, industries differ in types of job demands and risks inherent to the work, as well as concerning the person at risk being others or oneself.…”

Impact of Safety Culture on Safety Performance; Mediating Role of Psychosocial Hazard: An Integrated Modelling Approach

“…According to the literature, such employees are particularly vulnerable to accidents [70,71]. Because of their continual exposure to toxic and hazardous materials, oil and gas personnel are classified as a "safety-sensitive" industry in the safety literature [72].…”

Tekstil İmalat Endüstrisinde İş Güvenliği Liderliği, İklimi ve Davranışı Arasındaki İlişkinin İncelenmesi

“…İş güvenliği liderliğinin kavramlaştırılmasına, iş güvenliği iklimi ve kültürü çalışmaları dolaylı olarak referans vermesine karşın, iş güvenliği liderliği ile ilgili çalışmalar oransal olarak çok azdır (Hofmann & Morgeson, 2004). Bu sebeple iş güvenliği liderliğiyle alakalı çalışmalar örgüt liderliği çalışmalarını baz almakta ve iş güvenliği liderliği çalışmalarının çoğu, lider-üye etkileşimi modeli, etkileşimci (transaksiyonel) liderlik ve dönüştürücü (transformasyonel) liderliğe dayanmaktadır (Donovan, Salmon & Lenné, 2016;Mirza & Isha, 2017;Pilbeam vd., 2016).…”
