| Abstract |
This article is a report of an empirical study of the nature and determinants of safety motivation, particularly of employees in the construction industry. The study was based on the expectancy-theory of motivation. The extent of safety in work behaviour was measured by means of a checklist responded to by the employees themselves. Throughquestionnaires, motivation aspects, leadership style, group characteristics and safety standards were measured. Results indicated the following: (i) It is necessary to distinguish between two more orless independent aspects of safe behaviour, i.e., carefulness and safety initiative. (ii) People are more careful when they recognize that it does not hinder working speed, and that safer behaviour really does contribute to accident reduction. (iii) People show more safetyinitiative when the supervisor and colleagues react positively to it. (iv) Personality traits do not seem to influence strongly behaviour and motivation elements. (v) Safety motivation is strongly determined by leadership and safety standards of the leader. (vi) Safety behaviour and safety motivation are also determined by group standards and groupcohesion. |
