Abstract

Clients, consultants, and contractors in the construction industry can benefit from a safety climate by obtaining knowledge of attitudes and perceptions for better safety outcomes. However, the current and future research trends for safety climate in construction projects have not yet been fully examined. In order to solve this problem, a systematic review of previous research findings using a social network approach must be conducted, and future trends for the safety climate in building projects must be identified. Sixty-three peer-reviewed articles were gathered to study the literature on safety climate in construction projects. A social network approach was employed using VOS viewer to look at the connections between the researchers and the article's keywords. Based on the frequency of researcher collaboration and the connections between the keywords used in the publications, five research groups and four keyword themes were identified using the social network analysis results. The scholars received substantial implications and insights on the state of the research and future directions, which helped create a focused development strategy for safety climate in construction projects. The scope of this study is limited to publications on the subject matter from 2000 to 2021, which provided the base for the current and future research trends on safety climate in construction projects. The findings from this social network analysis revealed that studies on safety climate are more skewed to the organizational level than the project level. In developing countries like Tanzania, studies are scanty. Also, different levels of decision-making within the organization and within construction projects, call for different safety factors whereby the current studies have slightly considered such a fact. Furthermore, it is the right time now for researchers to focus on developing a safety climate maturity framework for construction projects.
探讨建设项目安全气候的现状和未来研究趋势
建筑行业的客户、顾问和承包商可以从安全氛围中受益,通过获得对更好的安全结果的态度和看法的知识。然而,目前和未来对建设项目安全气候的研究趋势还没有得到充分的研究。为了解决这个问题,必须使用社会网络方法对以前的研究结果进行系统的回顾,并且必须确定建筑项目中安全气候的未来趋势。本文收集了63篇同行评议的文章,对建筑项目中的安全气候进行了研究。使用VOS查看器使用社交网络方法来查看研究人员与文章关键词之间的联系。根据研究人员合作的频率和出版物中使用的关键词之间的联系,利用社会网络分析结果确定了五个研究小组和四个关键词主题。学者们对研究现状和未来的发展方向有了深刻的认识,这有助于制定有针对性的建设项目安全气候发展战略。本研究的范围仅限于2000年至2021年有关主题的出版物,为当前和未来建筑项目安全气候的研究趋势提供了基础。社会网络分析的结果表明,安全气候的研究更偏向于组织层面,而不是项目层面。在坦桑尼亚这样的发展中国家,研究很少。此外,组织内部和建设项目中不同层次的决策需要不同的安全因素,目前的研究稍微考虑了这一事实。此外,现在是研究人员关注建设项目安全气候成熟度框架的合适时机。
