“…While the findings of the study from Armitage and Conner (2001) demonstrated that subjective norm was a poor predictor of behavioral intention. Similarly, attitude was found to be a poor direct predictor of behavioral intention by Wong and Lee (2016). However, the study of Fogarty and Shaw (2010) established a significant causal link between behavioral intention and attitude.…”

“…In regard to the research of safety behavior in the off-site work environment, the few studies adopting TPB to examine the factors that affect workers' safety behaviors are mainly focused on the traditional plants, such as steel manufacturing plants, electronic manufacturing plants and aircraft maintenance plants, without research in the domain of prefabrication construction. For example, Wong and Lee (2016) conducted a study on the determinants of behavioral intention in steel manufacturing plants and found a significant relationship between subjective norm and behavioral intention. While the findings of the study from Armitage and Conner (2001) demonstrated that subjective norm was a poor predictor of behavioral intention.…”

“…Subjective norm was measured based on Goh and Sa'Adon (2015) and three items containing injunctive norms and descriptive norms were developed to measure this item. Perceived behavioral control was measured with three scale items, which were adapted from Wong and Lee (2016) and Zhang and Fang (2013). It is assumed to demonstrate previous experience and anticipated obstacles (Ajzen, 1991).…”

Purpose Although research on prefabricated construction has gained increasing attention in recent years, limited efforts have been devoted to investigating safety issues in the off-site manufacture, especially workers’ behavioral intentions to work safely. Thus, research is needed to identify the motivational factors determining off-site construction workers’ safety behaviors. The purpose of this paper is to investigate workers’ safety behavior by examining the determinants of behavioral intention in the off-site manufacturing plants in China. Design/methodology/approach Theory of planned behavior (TPB) was modified and used in this study to explain how the elements in the hypothesized model interact. Data were collected using a questionnaire. Structural equation modeling technique with partial least-squares estimation was used to analyze the data collected. Findings The findings of this study indicated that workers’ tendency to engage in safety behavior is positively related to attitude toward the behavior, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control and behavioral habit, among which attitude toward the behavior and behavioral habit have most significant influences on safety behavior. This finding provides a better explanation on the pathways and the impacts of the crucial factors on the safety behaviors for the off-site manufacture. Originality/value The possible innovation of this research lies in its attempt to understand the antecedents of workers’ safety behavior in the off-site construction environment, which may make original contributions to construction safety research and practice. The findings of this study contribute to the body of knowledge in TPB. Corresponding countermeasures are put forward in order to improve workers’ safety behavior in off-site construction.

“…These results reflect one of the previous studies conducted by Fogarty and Shaw (2010) who also found intention and attitude are linked. Besides that, a recent empirical study shows that intention (b = 0.10, p = 0.112) was significantly affected by attitude (Wong & Lee, 2016). Adding to this array, two psychology and behavior researches in transportation study conducted by (Brijs et al, 2014) and (Champahom et al, 2019) found that specific types of an attitude positively have a significant influence on helmet use intention behavior.…”

Purpose of the study: The main objective of this study was to examine the effect of climate emergence (i.e., work ownership, Islamic work ethic, and employee safety climate) on the intention of safety behavior. Methodology: The research framework was developed based on the Theory of Planned Behavior and Social Exchange Theory. Stratified random sampling was used to collect data from 400 first-line operators and supervisors within the Small Medium Enterprise. A total of 250 useable questionnaires with a response rate of 75% were used for data analysis. The five proposed hypotheses were tested using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) in IBM-SPSS-AMOS. Main Findings: The results indicate that climate emergence factors have a positive and significant effect on employee intention to safety behavior. Furthermore, employee safety climate found to be the strongest predictor of employee intention to safety behavior, while other climate emergence factors do not have a direct effect on the intention of safety behavior. The model accounted for 76% of the variance in climate emergence in the context of intention to safety behavior. Applications of this study: The results obtained from this study contribute to the improvement of proactive safety performance measures in the small-medium enterprise. However, further efforts are required to achieve the enhanced safety performance level Novelty/Originality of this study: This study adds to the existing psychological literature on climate and employee safety behavior. This present study enhanced the climate-based construct by improving the safety performance measurement for small-medium enterprises.

“…At present, the predictive function of TPB for social cognitive behaviors in critical safety fields had been effectively verified, but the explanation of latent variables for behaviors was the significant difference [ 11 , 26 ]. Wong and Lee [ 27 ] conducted a questionnaire survey based on TPB for workers’ unsafe behaviors in a factory, and the results showed that PBC and SN were the direct predictors of BI, while ATD was a negative prediction. Shaw [ 28 ] concluded that ATD and BI were significantly correlated through the study of human factors in aviation maintenance violations.…”

Situation awareness (SA) of pilots’ unsafe behavior can ensure safety onboard. Thus, the cognitive mechanism that controls the SA leading to unsafe behavior must be articulated. This study employs the SA model and theory of planned behavior (TPB) to articulate a quantitative model of ship safe piloting. Firstly, the hierarchical classification framework of unsafe behaviors was constructed as an analytical foundation for rational and unconscious behaviors in sight of cognitive processes, and then the measurement elements of the cognitive mechanisms for behaviors were identified. Subsequently, based on the structural model, a hypothetical model of the cognitive path for unsafe behaviors was proposed by using the extended TPB, where there are four independent variables (i.e., attitude (ATD), subjective norm (SN), and perceived behavioral control (PBC)), one mediating variables (i.e., SA) and two dependent variables (i.e., behavioral intention (BI) and unsafe behaviors (BE)). Finally, this hypothetical model was analyzed with the data resources from extended TPB questionnaire of 295 pilots. Analysis results show that relationships of causation and mediation in the cognitive mechanism are in line with the behavior pattern and SA have a pronounced mediating effect and a strong relevance to the causal chain of extended TPB framework. This study integrated the SA three-level model to understand the motivation–cognition–action–feedback (MCAF) mechanism of pilots’ unsafe behaviors under cognitive mode of information processing through structural model. It would make a valuable contribution to the assessment and intervention of safety behaviors, and provide a basic framework for monitoring the situation awareness of pilot by man-machine interactive measurement technology in the future.
