摘要

建筑业是危险的,需要仔细考虑职业健康和安全措施。在提出的各种提高施工安全的策略中,精益施工实践被广泛暗示并被证明是有效的。然而,以往的研究还没有从心理安全的角度对精益实施与建筑安全之间的联系进行全面的研究。本研究表明,心理安全在解释精益与安全之间的关系方面是至关重要的。尊重人、信任、领导、持续改进等精益实施要素对员工心理安全产生积极影响。在此背景下,对在美国建筑公司工作的员工进行了半结构化访谈和调查。访谈表明,由于工作量大,截止日期压力大等原因,大多数建筑员工在传统或精益建筑项目中都没有在工作场所感到心理安全。然而,研究发现,与传统项目相比,建筑工人在精益建设项目中感到心理安全。根据访谈结果和文献综述,提出了一个概念模型。因此,本研究可以为建筑行业心理安全的研究领域做出贡献。

Assessing Psychological Safety in Lean Construction Projects in the United States
The construction industry is hazardous, which requires careful consideration of occupational health and safety measures. Among various strategies that are proposed to enhance construction safety, Lean construction practices were widely implied and proved to be effective. However, the link between Lean implementation and construction safety has not been completely studied yet in previous research in terms of psychological safety context. This study implies that psychological safety is of utmost importance in terms of explaining the association between Lean and safety. Lean implementation elements such as respect for people, trust, leadership, and continuous improvement positively affect employees’ psychological safety. In this context, semi-structured interviews and a survey were conducted with employees working in U.S. construction companies. The interviews provided that the majority of the construction employees do not feel psychologically safe at their workplaces either in traditional or Lean construction projects due to a number of reasons such as heavy workload, and deadline pressures. However, it was found that construction workers feel safer psychologically in Lean construction projects compared to traditional projects. According to the interview results and literature review, a conceptual model was proposed. Therefore, this study can contribute to the research area of psychological safety in the construction industry.
