Examining the Relationship Between Safety Culture and Safety Performance in Construction Enterprises: Evidence from Guangdong Province

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of safety culture on safety performance in construction enterprises in Guangdong Province. A random sample of 10 construction enterprises in Guangdong Province was selected, and a total of 600 questionnaires were distributed. The data was analyzed using SPSS software, and a SEM structural equation model was used to construct a relationship model between safety culture, safety performance, and safety climate. The research findings indicate that safety culture has a direct positive correlation with enterprise safety performance. The safety climate plays a mediating role in the relationship between safety culture and enterprise safety performance. To improve the safety performance prediction level of enterprises, construction enterprises in Guangdong Province should actively promote the construction of safety material culture and increase investment in safety production materials, improve safety awareness of employees, and carry out hidden risk management work continuously.
