Abstract

This study empirically investigated the relationship between workers' safety behavior and safety leadership, trust in leader, workers' involvement, and safety knowledge in the enterprise, and analyzed the role of the factors to identify and analyze factors that enhance workers' safety behavior that contribute to the prevention of major accidents in the enterprise. When industrial accidents occur, companies have to bear huge loss costs due to direct costs of compensating the victims and indirect costs such as human loss, material loss, production loss, and time loss. Based on the results of previous studies, this study investigated the effects of managerial safety leadership and workers' trust in leader on safety behavior through the mediation of workers' involvement and safety knowledge among production, technical, and labor workers in the manufacturing industry. Statistical analysis was conducted on 271 manufacturing workers using SPSS and PLS. The results showed that safety leadership and trust in leader can lead to workers' involvement and have a positive effect on workers' safety knowledge acquisition, which can lead to workers' safety behavior.

본 연구에서는 기업 내 근로자의 안전 행동과 관리자의 안전 리더십, 리더 신뢰, 근로자 참여, 안전 지식과의 관계를 실증적으로 규명하고, 요인들이 어떤 역할을 하는지 분석함으로써 기업의 중대재해 예방에 기여하는 근로자의 안전 행동을 강화하는 요인을 파악하고 분석하였다. 산업재해가 발생하게 되면 기업 입장에서는 재해자를 대상으로 보상을 하는 직접비와 더불어 인적 손실, 물적 손실, 생산 손실, 시간 손실 등 간접비의 발생으로 막대한 손실비용을 감수해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 선행 연구들의 결과를 바탕으로 제조업에 종사하는 생산, 기술, 노무직 근로자를 대상으로 관리자의 안전 리더십과 근로자의 리더 신뢰가 근로자 참여, 안전 지식을 매개로 안전 행동에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구하였다. SPSS 와 PLS를 이용하여서 제조업체 근로자 271명을 대상으로 통계분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과는 안전 리더십과 리더 신뢰는 근로자의 참여를 유도하고 근로자의 안전 지식 습득에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳐 근로자의 안전 행동을 이끌어낼 수 있다는 것이다.
