Abstract

BACKGROUND Nowadays, although the effect of positive safety culture on improving safety performance has been confirmed, the mechanisms of this effect are somewhat ambiguous. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the direct and indirect effects of safety culture on safety performance based on a sociotechnical and macroergonomics approach. METHODS The participants consisted of 276 workers, supervisors, and managers in an oil and gas refinery complex. The data collection conducted using questionnaires including safety culture in accordance with the organization's sociotechnical characteristics with 12 dimensions (effectiveness of safety management, management's attitude towards safety, training, awareness and safety policy, peer support, work schedule, job demands, confrontation of tasks and safety, behavioural features and commitment to safety, work equipment and tools, personal protective equipment, workplace hazards, and external environmental factors), safety motivation and safety knowledge as mediators between safety culture and safety performance, and safety compliance and safety participation as the components of safety performance. RESULTS The examination of paths in three structural models indicated that in the presence of the direct effect, the indirect paths were not approved due to the lack of confirmation of safety motivation ⟶ safety performance and safety knowledge ⟶ safety performance. In the model without the direct effect, indirect paths were confirmed; however, a low amount of safety performance variance was explained by safety culture. CONCLUSIONS The safety culture tool explained the highest value of variance for the direct path due to the use of industry-related factors.

安全动机和知识在安全文化和安全绩效之间的中介作用:社会技术和宏观人体工程学方法的结果。

目前，虽然积极的安全文化对提高安全绩效的影响已经得到证实，但这种影响的机制有些模糊。目的:本研究旨在基于社会技术和宏观人体工程学的方法调查安全文化对安全绩效的直接和间接影响。方法研究对象为某石油天然气精炼厂的276名工人、主管和管理人员。根据该组织的社会技术特征，使用问卷调查收集数据，包括安全文化，包括12个维度(安全管理的有效性、管理层对安全的态度、培训、意识和安全政策、同伴支持、工作时间表、工作需求、任务和安全的对抗、行为特征和对安全的承诺、工作设备和工具、个人防护装备、工作场所危害、外部环境因素)、安全动机和安全知识是安全文化与安全绩效之间的中介，安全合规和安全参与是安全绩效的组成部分。结果对三种结构模型路径的检验表明，在存在直接效应的情况下，由于缺乏对安全动机和安全知识的确认，间接路径不被批准。在没有直接影响的模型中，确认间接路径;然而，安全文化解释了低数量的安全绩效差异。结论由于使用了行业相关因素，安全培养工具解释了直接路径的最高方差值。

期刊介绍： Cognition, Technology & Work focuses on the practical issues of human interaction with technology within the context of work and, in particular, how human cognition affects, and is affected by, work and working conditions. The aim is to publish research that normally resides on the borderline between people, technology, and organisations. Including how people use information technology, how experience and expertise develop through work, and how incidents and accidents are due to the interaction between individual, technical and organisational factors. The target is thus the study of people at work from a cognitive systems engineering and socio-technical systems perspective. The most relevant working contexts of interest to CTW are those where the impact of modern technologies on people at work is particularly important for the users involved as well as for the effects on the environment and plants. Modern society has come to depend on the safe and efficient functioning of a multitude of technological systems as diverse as industrial production, transportation, communication, supply of energy, information and materials, health and finance.
