Abstract

Background

Occupational safety issues related to food delivery riders emerge with evidence of an increase in associated traffic accidents and injuries along with the rapid growth of the online food delivery business. This paper focuses on food delivery riders' job stress and investigates its relationships with both antecedents and risky riding outcomes.

Method

Survey data were collected from 279 Taiwanese food delivery motorcycle riders and analyzed using hierarchical regression analysis.

Results

The results show that job overload and time pressure positively impact riders' job stress, while self-efficacy slightly reduces job stress. Job stress positively leads to risky driving behavior and distraction. In addition, time pressure can strengthen the impact of job overload on job stress. Riders' risky riding attitude can also strengthen the impacts of job stress on risky riding behaviors and distraction.

Conclusion

This paper advances the literature on online food delivery as well as the occupational safety improvement of food delivery riders. Specifically, this study provides insights into the job stress of food delivery motorcycle riders and the effects of job characteristics and risky behavioral consequences.

工作压力对送餐摩托车司机分心及危险驾驶行为的影响研究

随着在线外卖业务的快速增长，相关交通事故和伤害的增加，与送餐员相关的职业安全问题也随之出现。本文以送餐员的工作压力为研究对象，探讨了其与前因由和风险结果的关系。方法收集279名台湾送餐摩托车骑手的调查数据，采用层次回归分析。结果工作负荷和时间压力对工作压力有正向影响，自我效能感对工作压力有轻微影响。工作压力会导致危险的驾驶行为和注意力分散。此外，时间压力会强化工作超负荷对工作压力的影响。骑手的冒险骑行态度也会强化工作压力对冒险骑行行为和注意力分散的影响。结论综述了网络外卖及外卖骑手职业安全提升的相关文献。具体而言，本研究提供了外卖摩托车骑手的工作压力以及工作特征和风险行为后果的影响。

期刊介绍： Safety and Health at Work (SH@W) is an international, peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal published quarterly in English beginning in 2010. The journal is aimed at providing grounds for the exchange of ideas and data developed through research experience in the broad field of occupational health and safety. Articles may deal with scientific research to improve workers'' health and safety by eliminating occupational accidents and diseases, pursuing a better working life, and creating a safe and comfortable working environment. The journal focuses primarily on original articles across the whole scope of occupational health and safety, but also welcomes up-to-date review papers and short communications and commentaries on urgent issues and case studies on unique epidemiological survey, methods of accident investigation, and analysis. High priority will be given to articles on occupational epidemiology, medicine, hygiene, toxicology, nursing and health services, work safety, ergonomics, work organization, engineering of safety (mechanical, electrical, chemical, and construction), safety management and policy, and studies related to economic evaluation and its social policy and organizational aspects. Its abbreviated title is Saf Health Work.
