“…Therefore, in high-quality exchanges, individuals could receive more resources or emotional supports for working safely from their supervisors, which could weaken the cost side of the conflict (e.g., the supporting environment making safety compliance earlier), and enhance the benefits (e.g., potential monetary or social incentive), thereby reduce their attitudinal ambivalence. This is consistent with the previous research by Liang et al (2018aLiang et al ( , 2018b, which reported that perceived production pressure could increase the extent of individuals' attitudinal ambivalence, while perceived social support decreases attitudinal ambivalence. Furthermore, Individuals with higher attitudinal ambivalence are more likely to break safety rules because they suffer from more hesitations which hinder their decisions to work safely (Xu et al, 2018).…”

“…According to social cognition theory, individual workers always try to belong to a social group and adjust their own behaviours to what they believe is the socially acceptable within the crew (Roettger et al, 2017). When perceiving a positive group norm for safety behaviours (e.g., coworkers helps others' to achieve safety equipment when it is not available onsite), individuals will follow safety rules similarly to fit themselves with their groups (Liang, et al, 2018a(Liang, et al, , 2018b, and vice versa. Previous studies have confirmed that supervisors are critical for the formation of safety-related group norm within the construction crew.…”

“…The construction industry is one of the most hazardous industries in the world, which has witnessed high accident rate leading to huge losses of life and property (Choi, Ahn, & Lee, 2017a;Fang & Wu, 2013). Despite the increased efforts to reduce accidents, construction safety has not improved as much as other industries (Jiang, Fang, & Zhang, 2015;Liang, Zhang, & Su, 2018b;Shin, Lee, Park, Moon, & Han, 2014). Previous studies have recognized that safety violations are one of the dominant causes of construction accidents (Fang, C. Wu, & H. Wu, 2015;Fogarty, 2002).…”

This study develops and tests an integrative model to better understand the mechanisms by which the leadermember exchange (LMX) determines workers’ safety behaviours. The modified theory of planned behaviour (TPB) was proposed by using attitudinal ambivalence to replace univalent safety attitude. Empirical data were collected from 229 construction workers in China using a detailed questionnaire. Both situational and routine safety violations were considered in this model. The results showed that LMX had significant effects on both types of safety violations through three mediators from the modified TPB framework. Specifically, attitudinal ambivalence and group safety norm mediated the relationships between LMX and both types workers’ safety violations. However, perceived behavioural control only mediated the relationship between LMX and individuals’ routine safety violations. Furthermore, this research supported the distinctions between situational and routine safety violations. The indirect effects of LMX on individuals’ situational safety violations took place mainly through group safety norm. By contrast, the indirect effects on individuals’ routine safety violations took place mainly through attitudinal ambivalence and perceived behavioural control. Finally, the theoretical and practical implications, research limitations, and future directions were discussed. The results provide some meaningful insights into how to improve safety compliance behaviours from the perspective of supervisor-worker relationships.

“…From this standpoint, coworkers’ intentional but non-malevolent violations can be practical and socially contagious because such deviants from formal systems or processes seem to be well-intentioned and aimed at getting the work done. Previous literature on workers’ safety behaviors or violations has focused on hierarchical supervisor-employee relationships, while the horizontal coworker-employee dynamics such as the contagion effect of coworkers’ safety violations have not received as much attention [ 16 ]. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the underlying mechanism of social contagion which is caused by coworkers in order to provide necessary insights into the processes by which unsafe behavior norms are established within a construction crew.…”

This research developed and tested a model of the social contagion effect of coworkers’ safety violations on individual workers within construction crews. Both situational and routine safety violations were considered in this model. Empirical data were collected from 345 construction workers in China using a detailed questionnaire. The results showed that both types of safety violations made by coworkers were significantly related to individuals’ perceived social support and production pressure. Individuals’ attitudinal ambivalence toward safety compliance mediated the relationships between perceived social support and production pressure and both types of individuals’ safety violations. However, safety motivation only mediated the effects of perceived social support and production pressure on individuals’ situational safety violations. Further, this research supported the differences between situational and routine safety violations. Specifically, we found that individuals were more likely to imitate coworkers’ routine safety violations than their situational safety violations. Coworkers’ situational safety violations had an indirect effect on individuals’ situational safety violations mainly through perceived social support and safety motivation. By contrast, coworkers’ routine safety violations had an indirect effect on individuals’ routine safety violations mainly through perceived production pressure and attitudinal ambivalence. Finally, the theoretical and practical implications, research limitations, and future directions were discussed.

“…The algorithms for automatic ranking extracted terms in CiteSpace are tf*idf [62], log-likelihood ratio (LLR) tests [63], and mutual information [64]. LLR tests were used in the paper because they reflected the best cluster labels with high uniqueness and convergence [58,65]. LLR tests depend on the asymptotic distribution [63].…”

Water distribution networks (WDNs) are critical contributors to the social welfare, economic growth, and public health in cities. Under the uncertainties that are introduced owing to climate change, urban development, aging components, and interdependent infrastructure, the WDN performance must be evaluated using continuously innovative methods and data acquisition. Quantitative resilience assessments provide useful information for WDN operators and planners, enabling support systems that can withstand disasters, recover quickly from outages, and adapt to uncertain environments. This study reviews contemporary approaches for quantifying the resilience of WDNs. 1508 journal articles published from 1950 to 2018 are identified under systematic review guidelines. 137 references that focus on the quantitative resilience methods of WDN are classified as surrogate measures, simulation methods, network theory approaches, and fault detection and isolation approaches. This study identifies the resilience capability of the WDNs and describes the related terms of absorptive, restorative, and adaptive capabilities. It also discusses the metrics, research progresses, and limitations associated with each method. Finally, this study indicates the challenges associated with the quantification of WDNs that should be overcome for achieving improved resilience assessments in the future. earthquake in 1976 [3] stopped the water supply for more than one week, whereas the Northridge earthquake in 1994 [4] destroyed 74 water main pipes, resulting in approximately 1200 leaks and stoppage of water supply for several weeks. The Kobe earthquake in 1995 [5] damaged more than 4000 incidents of damage to water pipes and cut off 1.2 million end users. Only one-third of the WDN was repaired after one week, and the complete period required for repair was two and a half months. The Wenchuan Earthquake in 2008 [6] affected 181 cities in the Sichuan Province and damaged 47,642.5 km of water pipes. Some cities (such as Dujiangyan and Mianzhu) remained deprived of their normal water supply for a year after the occurrence of this earthquake.The emerging uncertainties have introduced new risks with respect to WDN operation and planning. The impacts of climate change, which are already being felt in the water systems in various communities, will become increasingly severe and intense in the future [7,8]. The WDN planners must re-evaluate the balance between water supply and demand under climate-change events such as increase in sea level, earthquakes, storms, and heatwaves [9]. Meanwhile, the WDNs in several industrialized counties and existing systems exhibit endogenous problems such as aging components, increasing their vulnerability to extreme events. Furthermore, the rapid development of cities has led to the high concentration of population in cities as well as the emergence of cities as financial hubs. The cascading failures caused by the closely associated interactive infrastructures can exacerbate the impact and destructiveness of disasters [10,...
