“…Vinodkumar and Bhasi (2010) also revealed the direct paths between perceived management commitment and safety compliance behavior (β = 0.169, p < 0.01). Likewise, Liu et al (2015) indicated that PMCS was the most proximal antecedent of safety compliance behavior (β = 0.169, p < 0.001). Christian et al (2009) reported that PMCS influences the safety behavior positively.…”

“…In this sense, employees who perceive the organizational support to their well-being and general welfare will be more likely to perceive the organization care to their safety as well. Eisenberger et al (1986) also suggested that employees' perception about the organization's care for their well-being will be positively related to achieve desirable work-related outcomes (Liu et al, 2015;Zohar, 1980). Previous studies used safety as a crucial element to employees' well-being.…”

“…Moreover, 75% of nurses were exposed to Needle Stick Injuries (NSIs) in Jordan, whereas 47% of them were not reported as having incidence (Abozead et al, 2014). However, several previous studies showed that improving safety performance is significant to reduce occupational accidents and maintain workplace safety (Siu et al, 2004;Zohar, 2000, Liu et al, 2015. Hence, many scholars investigated the safety performance indicators (Jiang et al ., 2010;Khdair et al, 2011;Nahrgang et al, 2007;Neal et al, 2000).…”

“…Hence, perceived management commitment to safety (PMCS) represents the strongest dimension that configures safety climate among employees rather than other safety climate dimensions (Konjin et al, 2015;Christian et al, 2009;Nielsen et al, 2008). Additionally, it is the strongest predictor of safety performance among different industries (Liu et al, 2015;Guo et al, 2016). Nevertheless, there are few studies that focused on studying PMCS independently to assure workplace safety.…”

Nowadays, workplace safety is a clear concern for both individuals and organizations, particularly in developing countries such as Jordan. This is evidenced by the expanding body of safety-related literature published on this regard. This paper develops a conceptual framework of safety management based on perceived organizational support theory. The main aim of this framework is to disclose the causal links between a physiological empowerment, respect, perceived management commitment to safety and safety performance based on previous studies. Such framework could have impact on practical issues in healthcare industry, as well as enhancing the body of related literature on perceived management commitment to safety. Consequently, this framework presents a new trend concerning perceived management commitment to safety through investigating each dimension of safety climate individually.

e vast majority of accidents in construction are generated by unsafe behaviors. Some researches also find that the behaviors could be influenced by the awareness and safety climate. e safety behavior and awareness belong to individual levels, while the safety climate belongs to the organization level. Previous studies mainly focus on the relationships between safety climate, safety awareness, and safety behavior without considering their different respective levels and the interaction between levels. is study establishes a hierarchical linear model (HLM) of safety climate, individual safety awareness, and safety behavior to examine the multilevel relationships between them. Data were collected using questionnaire from workers in different teams on the construction site in China.e results indicate that organizational safety climates affect individual safety behavior and safety awareness. In addition, there is a positive correlation between individual safety awareness and safety behavior, and the safety climates have a positive moderating effect on the relationship between them. e final conclusion offers a path for the current practice of safety management in the construction industry.

Analysis on the work safety level in different provinces and regions of China

Process Safety Progress

The work safety level is a reflection of the work safety situation, but in the past, we simply used a single absolute indicator or a single relative indicator to measure the work safety level, which is inadequate. This paper chooses five relative indicators and uses grey fixed weight clustering method to give a comprehensive evaluation of the work safety level in different provinces. According to the evaluation results, we grade the work safety level of geographic and economic regions, and find the gap in different provinces and regions. Our analysis suggests that the work safety level in different provinces and regions basically accords with the stage of industrialization process, but the fluctuated data analysis indicates that the theory of the relationship between the work safety and industrialization process has its defects, and the warped‐tail phenomenon of work safety level in the final and mature stage of industrialization process is thus pointed out. Taking the comparison between Henan and Shanghai as an example of the analysis of the warped‐tail phenomenon, the factors related to the work safety level in the final and mature stage of industrialization process are discussed.
