“…Leadership is often seen as one of the important factors in the success or failure of an organization. 45 Leadership safety commitment exhibits an organization’s concern toward miners so that they can feel that management cares about their welfare, which encourages a positive attitude in miners toward the organization’s goal. Social information processing theory claims that individuals respond cognitively, psychologically, and behaviorally to information that they perceive in their environment.…”

“…Compared with major accidents, small accidents and highly probable accidents are mostly caused by human factors, 96.67% of which consists of unsafe behavior by miners. 1 In addition, although the death rate per million tons in China’s coal industry has decreased, there is still a big gap compared with the standard that the death rate per million tons in developed countries is lower than 0.1 for a long time. Due to the implicit and stubborn behavior of miners and the dangerous and uncertain working environments of coal mines, coal mine safety behavior intervention still faces challenges.…”

Purpose To analyze the impact of leadership safety commitment on miners’ safety participation behavior and to explore the mediating effect of miners’ psychological safety and the moderating effect of perceived supervisor safety attitude (PSSA) and perceived coworker safety attitude (PCSA). Methods A total of 1446 valid questionnaires were collected from miners working in state-owned mines in China from August to October 2019. A variety of scales were used to measure the variables, including “Our management has strict requirements for safe work when working backward”, “I made mistakes in the team, and other coworkers often have opinions about me”, “I will be regarded as a troublemaker if I raise safety issues”, “When we complete work safely, the supervisor is satisfied”, “My coworkers sometimes ignore safety rules”. Results Leadership safety commitment has a significant positive effect on miners’ safety participation behavior; psychological safety of miners partially mediates the relationship between leadership safety commitment and the safety participation behavior of miners; and PSSA and PCSA moderate the intermediary effect of miners’ psychological safety on leadership safety commitment and miners’ safety participation behavior. When PSSA or PCSA is positive, the mediating effect of psychological safety is stronger. Conclusion This paper analyzes miners’ safety participation behavior from the perspective of resilience and discusses the impact of leadership safety commitment on miners’ safety participation behavior. These offer theoretical guidance and inspiration for the management of organizations to enhance the positive effects of workplace leadership safety commitment and improve miners’ safety participation behavior.

“…Liu et al ( 10 ) used an SEM to analyze the hierarchical structure relationship of the HFACS-CM (Human Factor Analysis and Classification System for Coal Miners) model, classified and verified the types of factors that affect miners' unsafe behaviors, and revealed their significant influence on miners' unsafe behaviors. Cheng et al ( 80 ) tested the hypothesis of the influence of leadership behavior on miners' safety behavior by using an SEM. They identified that negative leadership behavior was significantly negatively correlated with miners' safety behavior and its influence was greater than that of positive leadership behavior.…”

“…Oah et al ( 56 ) studied the relationship between employees' safety compliance behavior and supervisory leadership practice and found that risk perception related to unsafe behaviors and accidents can be reduced by conducting various safety programs, strengthening managers' leadership ability, and adjusting workers' working speed and workload. Cheng et al ( 80 ) identified that negative leadership behavior is significantly negatively correlated with miners' safety behavior, and its influence is greater than positive leadership behavior. Therefore, leadership incentive measures can be adopted to guide workers in developing effective safety behaviors.…”

Coal mine accidents are mainly caused by the unsafe behavior of workers. Studying workers' unsafe behaviors can help in regulating such behaviors and reducing the incidence of accidents. However, there is a dearth of systematic literature review in this area, which has hindered mine managers from fully understanding the unsafe behavior of workers. This study aims to address this research gap based on the literature retrieved from the Web of Science. First, a descriptive statistical analysis is conducted on the year, quantity, publications, and keywords of the literature. Second, the influencing factors, formation mechanism, and pre-control methods of coal miners' unsafe behavior are determined and discussed, and the research framework and future research directions of this study are proposed. The study results will help mine safety managers fully understand the influencing factors, formation mechanism, and pre-control methods of workers' unsafe behavior, and lay a theoretical foundation for the future research direction in this field.

“…The SEM (Structural Equation Model), SD (Systems Dynamics) model, and BLR (Binary Logistics Regression) model have also been used to evaluate miners’ unsafe behaviors [ 10 , 11 , 12 ]. Cheng et al used SEM to study the influence of leadership behavior on miners’ work safety behavior [ 13 ]. Yu et al used the SD model to simulate miners’ unsafe behavior intervention strategies based on individual factors, physical environment factors, safety leadership, and other factors to explore the best intervention strategy [ 14 ].…”

The unsafe behavior of miners seriously affects the safety of deep mining. A comprehensive evaluation of miners’ unsafe behavior in deep coal mines can prevent coal mine accidents. This study combines HFACS-CM, SEM, and SD models to evaluate miners’ unsafe behaviors in deep coal mining. First, the HFACS-CM model identifies the risk factors affecting miners’ unsafe behavior in deep coal mines. Second, SEM was used to analyze the interaction between risk factors and miners’ unsafe behavior. Finally, the SD model was used to simulate the sensitivity of each risk factor to miners’ unsafe behavior to explore the best prevention and control strategies for unsafe behavior. The results showed that (1) environmental factors, organizational influence, unsafe supervision, and unsafe state of miners are the four main risk factors affecting the unsafe behavior of miners in deep coal mines. Among them, the unsafe state of miners is the most critical risk factor. (2) Environmental factors, organizational influence, unsafe supervision, and the unsafe state of miners have both direct and indirect impacts on unsafe behaviors, and their immediate effects are far more significant than their indirect influence. (3) Environmental factors, organizational influence, and unsafe supervision positively impact miners’ unsafe behavior through the mediating effect of miners’ unsafe states. (4) Mental state, physiological state, business abilities, resource management, and organizational climate were the top five risk factors affecting miners’ unsafe behaviors. Taking measures to improve the adverse environmental factors, strengthening the organization’s supervision and management, and improving the unsafe state of miners can effectively reduce the risk of miners’ unsafe behavior in deep coal mines. This study provides a new idea and method for preventing and controlling the unsafe behavior of miners in deep coal mines.
