“…From an individual point of view, instead, a sense of autonomy, competence, and personal belief in the importance of safety also play a role in fostering psychological ownership for safety (Curcuruto et al, 2020). Several studies have shown that employees with a strong sense of psychological ownership for safety are more likely to engage in safety-related behaviors, due to the belief that their actions can make a difference in maintaining a safe work environment (Novieto, 2023;Y. Zhang et al, 2021;Z.…”

Aim/Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine the role of psychological ownership for safety in boosting employee performance and the impact of Perceived Organizational Support for Safety (POSS) on workers’ well-being, considering the psychological aspects associated with workplace safety and exploring the mediating effect of employees’ commitment. Background: It is widely recognized that promoting workplace safety goes beyond purely physical measures and must also consider the psychological aspects associated with safety management. However, while some studies have shown the direct effect of POSS and Safety Ownership on safety outcomes, very few studies have explored the underlying mediating mechanism, as well as their impact on distal outcomes, such as well-being and performance. Methodology: The cross-sectional study was conducted on a convenience sample of a metal mechanic enterprise’s employees through an online self-assessment questionnaire. Contribution: This study contributes to understanding the mechanisms through which psychological ownership for safety, organizational support for safety, and psychological factors related to safety collectively influence organizational outcomes. Findings: Two indirect significant effects are described. The first is between POSS and well-being, and the second significant relation is between psychological ownership for safety and job performance. When employees perceive that their organization cares about safety, they will experience a stronger sense of commitment and, in turn, they will be more satisfied in the work context, and they will improve their job performance. Recommendation for Researchers: Researchers should take a transdisciplinary approach to enable the integration of knowledge and perspectives from different fields that are essential to understanding the full range of implications and applications of safety management. Future Research: It could be interesting to investigate a different point of view on safety (e.g., top management or health and safety officers) and explore concerns about how to successfully communicate and transfer safety climate during remote working activities.

“…Therefore, with in-depth study, the burst of the keyword "mediating role" is logical. Future research should integrate with existing research clusters, such as safety climate [87][88][89] and knowledge management [90], to conduct more objective empirical research on the mechanism of construction project organisation. The mediating role of project success factors when it comes to different types of leadership will become a research hotspot in the future [91][92][93].…”

Leadership plays an increasingly important role in construction projects, and numerous research studies have been conducted. This study aims to identify the structure evolution development trends of this knowledge domain using visualisation analysis with CiteSpace. A total of 1789 peer-reviewed articles are collected from Scopus and the WoS core collection database to conduct a scientometric analysis. The results indicate that the US dominates this field and that institutions from Australia have made greater contributions. However, international cooperation in this area is not active. A total of eight co-citation clusters were identified, and the research of leadership in construction primarily focused on the topics of transactional leadership, safety leadership, team performance, leadership interaction processes and actual leader behaviour. The keywords co-occurrence evolution analysis was also conducted to provide a holistic knowledge map. Based on the development of this field and its current status, we propose trends and innovative research areas for future research. The findings in this research would help scholars to understand the structure and future trends of this field. Meanwhile, the research results would provide a reference for construction enterprises to formulate project manager competency criteria.

“…One approach to this is through the psychological contract (PC), an important perspective that has become an increasingly popular research topic in this journal in particular over the years, including in employee career expectations (Dainty et al, 2000), the expectations of project managers (Dainty et al, 2004), improved organizational innovations (Egbu, 2004), the motivation of workers (Liu et al, 2007), knowledge sharing (Wang and Shi, 2019), the efficacy of trust , construction manager burnout (Franz et al, 2021), and renegotiating relationships within the PPP scheme (Feng et al, 2022). In terms of construction safety, studies involving PC are replete, with major contributions by Newaz (2018), Newaz et al (2016aNewaz et al ( , 2016bNewaz et al ( , 2018Newaz et al ( , 2019aNewaz et al ( , 2019bNewaz et al ( , 2019cNewaz et al ( , 2020aNewaz et al ( , 2020bNewaz et al ( , 2021aNewaz et al ( , 2021b, Novieto (2021) and many others.…”

PurposeIn the absence of previous work, this study investigates how the psychological contract (PC) influences the safety performance of construction workers in China.Design/methodology/approachThe literature is first consulted to obtain a set of PC and safety performance measures that fits the specific situation of construction workers, which is then moderated by five construction experts. A questionnaire survey of 206 workers from 4 different construction sites is followed by a descriptive statistical analysis of the nature of the PC and level of the safety performance of the respondents. Finally, a regression analysis is used to ascertain the level of influence of the PS, and an analysis is made of the influence of PC on safety performance.FindingsA set of PC and safety performance measures is identified that fits in the construction workers' specific situation. The PC of the respondents is found to be intact and well-performed, and their safety performance is maintained at a high level. Safety performance is highly influenced by the state of the PC, with the three dimensions of safety performance (safety result, safety compliance and safety participation) positively correlated with the three dimensions of the PC (normative, interpersonal and developmental).Originality/valueSuggestions are made to improve safety production management and safety performance by providing adequate material and economic conditions, helping the workers establish good interpersonal relationships and realize their personal values.
