Abstract

ABSTRACT Objectives Based on the social information processing theory and impression management theory, we construct a moderated mediation model to explore how and when subordinates’ moqi affects safety behaviour. Methods A questionnaire study was conducted, using cluster random sampling, to select 841 employees from a state-owned petrochemical enterprise in Chinese as the subjects, data was collected in two stages. Subordinates’ moqi, job satisfaction, team psychological safety, and safety behaviour scales are chosen as measuring tools. Results Subordinates’ moqi has positive effects on safety compliance and safety participation; job satisfaction mediates the relationship of subordinates’ moqi and safety compliance, and safety participation; when team psychological safety is at a lower level, subordinates’ moqi has a stronger promotion effect on safety compliance and safety participation through job satisfaction. Conclusions Subordinates’ moqi can be an effect way to promote safety behaviour, and job satisfaction might be a psychological process in the above relation. Team psychological safety plays a moderating role in this mediation process. KEY POINTS What is already known about this topic: There is a limit on the extent to which employees’ safety behaviour can be improved through physical factors (such as safety equipment). Soft factors in organizations, such as leadership styles, leaders’ behaviours, and safety culture have effects on safety behaviour. Subordinates who have a state of moqi with their supervisors can implicitly understand the intention and expectation of their supervisors, and ultimately perform behaviours expected by the supervisors. What this topic adds: The positive relationship between subordinates’ moil and employee safety behaviour is discussed for the first time. We uncovered the psychological process of subordinates’ moqi affecting safety behaviour, that is, the indirect role of job satisfaction. Team psychological safety can moderate the indirect effect of subordinates’ moqi on safety behaviour through job satisfaction.
下属不满与员工安全行为的关系——一个有调节的中介模型
摘要目的基于社会信息处理理论和印象管理理论,构建了一个适度中介模型,探讨下属的情绪如何以及何时影响安全行为。方法采用整群随机抽样的方法,选取中国某国有石油化工企业841名员工作为调查对象,分两个阶段收集数据。选择下属的moqi、工作满意度、团队心理安全和安全行为量表作为测量工具。结果下属的moqi对安全依从性和安全参与有积极影响;工作满意度介导下属的moqi与安全合规、安全参与的关系;当团队心理安全水平较低时,下属的moqi通过工作满意度对安全依从性和安全参与有较强的促进作用。结论下属的moqi可能是促进安全行为的有效途径,工作满意度可能是上述关系中的一个心理过程。团队心理安全在调解过程中起着调节作用。关键点关于这个主题已经知道的内容:通过物理因素(如安全设备)改善员工安全行为的程度是有限的。组织中的软因素,如领导风格、领导行为和安全文化,都会对安全行为产生影响。下属与上司之间有一种“摩气”状态,可以隐含地理解上司的意图和期望,并最终执行上司期望的行为。本课题补充:首次探讨了下属劳苦与员工安全行为之间的正向关系。我们揭示了下属的情绪影响安全行为的心理过程,即工作满意度的间接作用。团队心理安全可以通过工作满意度调节下属情绪对安全行为的间接影响。
