The Relationship Between Antecedent And Consequence Factors With Safety Behaviour In PT.X

Abstract

Background : Safety behaviour is an act worker to minimize the possibility of accidents in workplace. Based on the Antecedents-Behaviour-Consequence (ABC) theory, safety behaviour of worker related with the antecedent and consequence factors. Purpose : The purpose of this research was to study the association between antecedent and consequence factors with safety behaviour of workers in Ring Frame Unit Spinning II PT. X. Methods : This was an observational descriptive research with cross sectional approach. Sample size was the total population 24 workers. The variables studied were level of knowledge, motivation, perception, private problem, OSH regulation, availability of safety facilities, frequency of OSH training, controlling, positive reinforcement (reward), and negative reinforcement (punishment). The strength of relationship between variables dependent and independent were analyzed by using Contingency Coefficient (C). Results : The results showed that there were strong association between motivation, private problem, frequency of OSH training, positive reinforcement (reward), and negative reinforcement (punishment) with safety behaviour (C = 0.622, C = 0.508, C = 0.702, C = 0.669, dan C = 0.707, respectively). There were very strong association between knowledge, perception, OSH regulation, and controlling with safety behaviour (C = 0.763, C = 0.797, C = 0.768, dan C = 0.797, respectively). Conclusion : the higher the knowledge and motivation to work safely the higher the safety behaviour of the workers would be. Workers who have not personal problem, have already participated in OSH training, feeling supervised and given reward and punishment applied higher safety behaviour.

The Correlation between Awareness, Motivation, and Perception with Safe Behavior at Ngadiredjo Sugar Factory

“…The correlation between perception and safe behavior among workers can be seen through the correlation coefficient value of 0.799, which means that there is a strong correlation between perception and safe behavior among workers in the engineering and processing section PG Ngadiredjo Kediri, which means good perception will tend to behaving safely, but it is also possible that fair perception can also produce correct behavior. This result in line with previous research by Fitriani and Nawawiwetu (2017) that explains perceptions have a strong correlation with safe behavior among workers at PT Lotus Indah Textile with a contingency coefficient of 0.797. Based on that research, it can be concluded that workers who have a perception of danger and accidents in the workplace know that in their workplace there are dangers and know the accidents can be occur but are not comprehensive, this can produce fair safe behavior to avoid this as perceived…”

“…This result in line with previous research by Fitriani and Nawawiwetu (2017) which explains that motivation has a strong correlation with safe behavior among workers at PT Lotus Indah Textile with contingency coefficient value of 0.622. Based on that research, in addition to motivating workers to behave safely, management must also provide facilities related to the formation of safe behavior, such as the availability of safety facilities.…”
