Abstract

Work-related accidents is a controversial topic in Malaysia as evidenced by the increased number of occupational accidents throughout the years. The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between management practices and safety performance in an or-ganization. The four management practices investigated are (a) training, (b) management commitment, (c) communication and feedback, and (d) employee involvement. The most effective safety practice is also identified. The data was collected at a manufacturing com-pany located in Shah Alam, Malaysia using closed-ended questionnaire. 95 respondents from the production line were involved in this study. The result found that training had a very weak relationship to the safety performance while the management commitment, as well as the communication and feedback, revealed to have a weak impact on safety perfor-mance. On the other hand, the analysis showed that employee involvement is the most ef-fective safety practice to the safety performance, as it had a moderate impact on safety per-formance. Keywords: Workplace health and safety; accidents; injuries; safety performance

管理实践与安全之间的关系

与工作有关的事故在马来西亚是一个有争议的话题，多年来职业事故的数量不断增加。本研究的目的是检视管理实务与组织安全绩效之间的关系。调查的四种管理实践是(a)培训，(b)管理承诺，(c)沟通和反馈，以及(d)员工参与。还确定了最有效的安全措施。数据是在马来西亚沙阿南的一家制造公司使用封闭式问卷收集的。95名来自生产线的受访者参与了本研究。结果发现，培训与安全绩效的关系非常弱，而管理承诺以及沟通和反馈对安全绩效的影响也很弱。另一方面，分析表明员工参与对安全绩效的影响是最有效的，因为它对安全绩效的影响是中等的。关键词:工作场所卫生安全;事故;伤害;安全性能
