The term safety behaviour itself is an activity conducted by individuals within an entity related to protection ( He et al., 2019 ). Safety behaviour as a primary mark of safety performance has many benefits over lagging factors, such as injury and death.…”

This study aims to investigate employee safety behaviour by relating it to safety leadership, safety communication, safety commitment, and safety climate. This research was conducted at PT GMF AeroAsia Tbk in the Cengkareng home base, and multibase areas of Kalimantan, Bali & Nusa Tenggara, Sumatra, Sulawesi & East, and Java. The study began in early September 2019 until the end of March 2020, using a quantitative and explanatory design approach through testing hypotheses to examine the nature of relationships and influences between variables. The population of 2,400 employees with a sample of 342 respondents. The sample distribution uses proportionate cluster random sampling. Model testing and data processing using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The data was then analysed using AMOS 22 statistical software. Work accidents at the largest MRO (Maintenance Repair and Overhaul) companies were mainly caused by safety behaviour. Test results from several variables of this study can help the managerial team make an effective approach to improve safety behaviour in the workplace.

“…Based on PsyCap theory Wang, Wang and Xia (2018) individuals with high levels of PsyCap tend to have positive attitudes and behaviors at work. Study of He et al (2019) shows that PsyCap not only help the workers to complete the job on their role, but also to motivates them to take organizational behaviors. Health psychological state would be beneficial to further develop safety performance.…”

Introduction: A steam power plant company is an electric energy production company, utilizing main energy sources such as coal, biomass, and other energies that are related to production process. This company is a big industry that operates 24 hours and have many various steps of production process. It is also supported by a variety of high-risk system equipment such as confined spaces, working at height, hot work, ergonomics, mechanics, and others. This type of work can lead to workers’ unsafe conditions and unsafe acts. One of the causes is the psychological aspects of workers, namely the lack of workers’ awareness and understanding in implementing occupational safety aspects. Workers’ psychology in this study is Psychological Capital (PsyCap) with self-efficacy, hope, optimism, and resilience dimensions. This study aims to analyze PsyCap impacts on safety behavior of contractor workers. Methods: this study was an observational analytic research using cross-sectional approach. The population was all workers in a steam power plant company in units 7&8, totalling 400 contractors. This study was conducted by distributing questionnaires to 101 respondents of contractor workers. The questionnaires consisted of items about self-efficacy, hope, optimism, and resilience dimension of PsyCap and safety compliance and safety participation dimension of safety behavior. The analysis used a Structural Equational Modeling (SEM) method and AMOS software. Results: PsyCap dimensions that impacted on safety behavior was optimism. Conclusion: optimism dimension was the factor that had the strongest impact on safety behavior especially workers’ safety compliance. Meanwhile, other PsyCap dimensions which did not have not impact on safety behavior were safety compliance and safety participation dimensions.Keywords: contractor worker, psychological capital, safety behavior, steam power plant company, structural equational modelling

The formation mechanism and generation condition configuration of urban residents' public safety behavior crucial for reducing urban public safety accidents were identified using the structural equation model (SEM) and the fsQCA method to analyze 465 survey samples. The findings showed that organizational safety communication, community safety support, family safety climate, safety consciousness, and safety motivation are driving factors influencing individual safety behavior and that residents' safety behavior is positively influenced by emotional safety culture. Furthermore, nine generational configurations of these antecedent variables are sufficient to explain the emergence of high levels of safety behavior. Because most previous research has focused on the linear effects of single or multiple factors on outcome variables while ignoring "combined effects," this study employed fsQCA to identify "combined effects" among antecedent factors of safety behavior from multiple perspectives. The results revealed that no single factor, but rather a combination of factors, led to high levels of safety behavior, shedding light on the importance of "combined effects" among variables and providing theoretical and practical insights into urban residents' public safety behavior.
