In accordance with the said theory, timework employees consider organization's commitment for safety as a kind of perceived organizational support, and the throughputs of the foregoing is similar to that of the perceived organizational support (POS).…”

Recent occupational accidents urged enterprises to put more importance on occupational health and safety practices. The pressure by both the public authority and the business and social milieu has played an important role in it. The present study investigated occupational health and safety (OHS) practices in five dimensions, i.e. safety procedures and risk management, safety and health rules, first aid support and training, occupational accident prevention, and organizational safety support. A survey form was developed in order to investigate the effect of OHS practices on work alienation, organizational commitment, and job performance as a throughput of such practices. The data set obtained from private sector enterprises was analyzed by structural equation modeling using least squares method. The findings of the analysis suggested that such OHS practices as safety procedures and risk management, safety and health rules, first aid support and training, and organizational safety support had a positive effect on organizational commitment. Moreover, it was seen that safety and health rules and organizational safety support decreased alienation, where first aid support and training played a role in increasing work alienation. Finally, safety procedures and risk management, safety and health rules, and organizational safety support had indirect effects on job performance of the employees.

“…employee attitudes etc) (Miller and Murphy, 2006). Michael et al (2005) suggest that employee perceptions of management's concern for employee well-being through a dedication to safety may result in positive outcomes beyond improved safety performance. Perceived management commitment to safety has been linked to employee attitudes such as: job satisfaction, organisational commitment and turnover (Michael et al, 2005;Zanko and Dawson, 2012).…”

Perceived management commitment to safety has been linked to employee attitudes such as: job satisfaction, organisational commitment and turnover (Michael et al, 2005;Zanko and Dawson, 2012). A meta-analysis by Faragher et al (2005) found evidence that job satisfaction was associated with workers' mental health but the evidence for a link with subjective physical health was weaker.…”

“…Previous scholars have argued that work accidents, injuries, and bad working conditions result in decreased employee morale, organizational commitment and job satisfaction (Michael et al, 2005). Therefore, as the adoption of environmental-related standards improves the health and safety conditions of employees by mitigating pollution, reducing contact with hazardous materials and diminishing bad odors and noise, one may expect these standards to generate positive effects on the workers' reported perception of being equitably recognized.…”

Abstract. The implementation of environmental standards can be facilitated by motivating workers with pro-social preferences. Therefore, we study if employees working for firms achieving registration for environmental-related standards are more likely to display positive attitudes toward their job, to be actively involved in their jobs and to donate effort. Using a French matched employer-employee database, we find that these "green employees" report a significantly higher perception of usefulness and equitable recognition at work. Besides, they are more likely to work uncompensated overtime hours. Finally, if the adoption of environmental standards is shown to have no direct influence on job involvement, we expose how it indirectly impacts job involvement through the mediation of employees' reported perception of usefulness and equitable recognition at work.
