“…In addition, before the assignment of job tasks, management should reach a consensus to avoid the same worker receiving different job instructions. Therefore, before and during a task, it is essential for the project management team to provide safety training to all workers among different organizations and to explain specific safety requirements of each type of work [ 34 ], which may be helpful for role management. Safety training is especially needed in the Chinese construction industry as previous research has indicated inadequate awareness and training on safety within it [ 48 ].…”

“…This may be because when under job stress, the performance of safety compliance and safety participation may be both undermined, construction workers may try their best to first finish the required work (safety compliance) with limited time and energy, while having less time and energy to engage in participatory activities (safety participation). Thus workers under high job stress will reduce safety participation to a greater degree than safety compliance [ 34 ]. In addition, different job stress can have various influences on safety behavior, for example, Gilboa [ 23 ] et al found that role ambiguity was most strongly negatively related to safety behavior than role conflict.…”

Job stress is considered one of the critical causes of construction workers’ unsafe behaviors. As a mainstay industry in many countries, the construction industry has a considerable number of employees and the research on how job stress affects workers’ unsafe behaviors has important theoretical and practical significance to improve construction safety performance through better job stress management. In this study, the authors thoroughly reviewed the literature and conducted semi-structured interviews to identify the dimensions of job stress, designed the job stress scale and cited the safety behavior measurement scale. After that, a questionnaire survey was developed using the proposed measurement scale and distributed to the construction employees from a project in Beijing. One hundred fifty responses were collected and analyzed using reliability analysis to validate the scale’s internal consistency. Results from factor analysis indicate that the scales of job stress measurement can be grouped into six dimensions. To demonstrate the applicability of the developed scale on construction safety management research, the collected data was used to test the hypothesis that job stress has a negative correlation with safety behavior. Results show that the hypothesis is valid, and there is a negative correlation between job stress and safety behavior. In addition, finer results of the relationship between the six dimensions of job stress and safety behavior can be obtained. In summary, this study developed an improved stress scale for construction workers in China, and the proposed scale was validated by analyzing the data from an empirical study in Beijing.

Background: PT. Bakrie Sumatera Plantations Tbk (PT. BSP) was one of the largest rubber factories with environmental concern and a rubber exporter in Indonesia. This study aimed to analyse the assessment and influence of safety culture toward safety climate and company management at the Production Area of PT. BSP. Method: The data were collected by distributing questionnaires referring to Safety Climate Questionnaire to all workers in the production area (159 respondents). The questionnaire consisted of 41 questions/ statements in seven safety climate variables: communications and procedures, work pressure, management commitment, work relationships, training, safety rules, and safety behaviour. Result: Based on the results of the questionnaire showed 93% of all statements in the questionnaire, get a good response from respondents. This result indicates that the safety culture in PT. BSP was good. The correlation analysis showed that safety culture at PT. BSP was influenced by work pressure (r = 0.758), management commitment (r = 0.717) and training (r = 0.617). Balanced work pressure allowed workers to complete their work without haste. This condition was undoubtedly supported by the commitment of proper management that raises workers' confidence in their safety. Besides, through the implementation of training, workers could raise awareness of safety. This situation affected the safety habits that exist in PT. BSP. Nevertheless, the communication and procedures; work relationship; and safety rules variables were not yet compatible with the safety climate. Conclusions: PT. BSP should make improvements by allowing all employees to discuss and advises on occupational health and safety improvement efforts at the factory as well as provide training to their employees equally.

The present study investigated the relationship between personality traits and psychological capital and academic adjustment. Methods: This was a cross-sectional research study. The study population comprised all male and female students at the University of Kashan in February-March 2018. A total of 360 (190 females and 170 males) students were selected by cluster sampling method. The Adjustment Inventory for College Students (AICS), HEXACO Personality Inventory, and Luthans Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ) were used to collect data. To analyze the obtained data, a regression analysis was run by SPSS. Results: The analysis suggested a significant relationship between academic adjustment and honesty-humility (r=-0.19, P<0.01), emotionality (r=0.14, P<0.01), extraversion (r=-0.14, P<0.01), and conscientiousness (r=-0.32, P<0.01). Besides, a significant correlation was observed between academic adjustment and psychological capital (r=-0.17, P<0.01). The regression analysis results revealed that conscientiousness, emotionality, and honesty-humility predicted 13% of the variance in academic adjustment. Moreover, regression analysis results indicated that hopefulness predicted 3% of the variance in academic adjustment. Conclusion: The study results indicated a relationship between personality traits and psychological capital and academic adjustment. Furthermore, educational-counseling interventions oriented on personality and psychological capital could help promote student's academic adjustment.
