Safety culture in global research: a systematic literature review

Abstract

Purpose: The article presents the results of research related to the development of safety culture (SC) around the world. In particular, attention was focused on the search for trends that set the direction of SC development. Research gaps were identified as the basis for addressing new cognitive challenges, particularly in the area of SC modeling in manufacturing companies, to improve workplace health and worker productivity. Design/methodology/approach: A systematic literature review (SLR) of a total of 22,199 scientific articles on SC culture available in three databases was adopted as the research method: Elsevier Science Direct, Springer Link, and Wiley Online Library, published between 2013 and 2023 based on defined keywords. Originality/value: A new research task has been formulated, the implementation of which would be an important addition to the existing body of work on the formation of safe working conditions based on a human-centered approach. Keywords: safety culture, Systematic Review, safety culture implementation, safety culture model. Category of the paper: Literature review.
