“…However, the telephone reminders (three) to managers of non-responding Swedish sites indicated that the questionnaires had not been distributed due to time limitations. Although it is not evident that such managers would be less rule-or participative-oriented, and the results are consistent with previous findings (12,42), these differences deserve additional study in future research.…”

Objectives The construction industry accounted for >20% of all fatal occupational accidents in Europe in 2014. Leadership is an essential antecedent to occupational safety. The aim of the present study was to assess the influence of transformational, active transactional, rule-oriented, participative, and laissez-faire leadership on safety climate, safety behavior, and accidents in the Swedish and Danish construction industry. Sweden and Denmark are similar countries but have a large difference in occupational accidents rates. Methods A questionnaire study was conducted among a random sample of construction workers in both countries: 811 construction workers from 85 sites responded, resulting in site and individual response rates of 73% and 64%, respectively. Results The results indicated that transformational, active transactional, rule-oriented and participative leadership predict positive safety outcomes, and laissez-faire leadership predict negative safety outcomes. For example, rule-oriented leadership predicts a superior safety climate (β=0.40, P<0.001), enhanced safety behavior (β=0.15, P<0.001), and fewer accidents [odds ratio (OR) 0.78, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.62-0.98]. The effect of rule-oriented leadership on workers' safety behavior was moderated by the level of participative leadership (β=0.10, P<0.001), suggesting that when rules and plans are established in a collaborative manner, workers' motivation to comply with safety regulations and participate in proactive safety activities is elevated. The influence of leadership behaviors on safety outcomes were largely similar in Sweden and Denmark. Rule-oriented and participative leadership were more common in the Swedish than Danish construction industry, which may partly explain the difference in occupational accident rates. Conclusions Applying less laissez-faire leadership and more transformational, active transactional, participative and rule-oriented leadership appears to be an effective way for construction site managers to improve occupational safety in the industry.

The fourth industrial revolution and globalization have led to the strong intention to improve the performance quality of three-year vocational high school graduates (3-YP VHS). The improvement can be made precisely if it is initiated with research on graduate work performance. Therefore, this research aims to describe the work performance of the 3-YP VHS graduates and ways to follow it up. This research was conducted at 11 3-YP VHS's, 13 business sectors and industrial sectors with the respondents consisting of school principals, teachers, students, and alumni of vocational high schools working in industries. The data were collected through a questionnaire, observation, and interviews, and analyzed using the descriptive technique completed with the qualitative one. The result of this research shows that in general the work performance of 3-YP VHS graduates is in a high category, except for the ethics which needs improvement. In addition, there are skills needed by industries but not developed in school, including a special skill to accomplish a task and managerial and public speaking skills. On the other hand, there are subject matters not directly needed by industries but developed in school, including social science, arts, electric installation, heavy instrument operation, introductory test analysis, and map measurement. Based on this result, there is a need to revise the curriculum, i.e. by including materials on special trainings which are interesting to students and relevant to the development of job market. It is also necessary to improve classroom instruction and evaluation by integrating character aspects in teaching and evaluation.
