The purpose of this study was to identify the factors affecting perceived safety climate and the level of incident reporting attitude, incident reporting knowledge and safety climate. The data were collected by structured questionnaires from 240 nurses and were analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, Pearson's correlation coefficients and multiple regression. The level of incident reporting attitude and incident reporting knowledge was 3.34 and 3.05. The level of safety climate was 3.25. Incident reporting knowledge and safety climate have a significant positive association with incident reporting attitude(r=.33, p<.001; r=.38, p<.001). Incident reporting knowledge was positively associated with safety climate(r=.32, p<.001). Factors influencing safety climate were incident reporting knowledge, belief in improvement and reporting intention which explained 24.7% of the variance(F=12.22, p<.001). The findings indicate that to improve incident reporting knowledge with positive attitude and safety climate should be considered as patient safety strategy and should endeavour to develop interventions for safety.

Pervasive research underscores the direct correlation between an enhanced safety climate and a marked reduction in accidents. The intricacies of safety climate are governed by three pivotal strata: organizational management, on-site operations, and the broader enterprise framework. Within an organizational context, sustaining optimal performance across these layers poses a considerable challenge, often attributable to the constraints of available managerial bandwidth. It becomes imperative, then, to conceive a phased enhancement blueprint for the safety climate. To orchestrate this blueprint with precision, a discerning understanding of the hierarchy of safety climate metrics is essential, which subsequently guides judicious managerial resource allocation. This investigation is anchored in elucidating the hierarchical significance of safety climate metrics through the Analytical Hierarchy Process(AHP). Implementing the AHP framework, both a questionnaire was disseminated and a subsequent analysis undertaken, culminating in the extraction of relative priorities of safety climate determinants. Consequent to this analysis, "workers' safety prioritization and risk aversion" emerged as the foremost dimension, holding a significance weight of 0.1900. Furthermore, within the detailed elements, "unwavering adherence to safety mandates amidst demanding operational constraints" ranked supreme, manifesting a weight of 0.6663. The findings encapsulated in this study are poised to be foundational in sculpting improvements at an institutional level and devising policies, all with the end goal of fostering an exemplar safety climate within construction arenas.

본 연구는 산업안전에 관한 최근 연구동향이 Zohar(1980)의 안전분위기에 대한 연구를 계기로 조직특성으로서 안전분위기가 구성원들의 안전에 대한 태도와 지식에 영향을 미쳐 궁극적으로 안전사고를 영향을 미친다는 이론적 배경을 기반으로 실증분석을 실시하였다. 강원 영서지역의 건설업에 종사하는 292명의 근로자를 대상으로 실증분석을 실시한 결과 첫째로 경영층몰입, 안전교육, 예방활동은 안전참여행동에 정의 영향을 미치며, 육체적 부담은 부의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째로 안전분위기의 구성요소 중 경영층몰입, 예방활동, 안전규정과 안전참여행동의 관계는 연령에 따라 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 구체적으로 경영층 몰입이 안전참여행동은 미치는 영향력은 고연령층에서 더욱 긍정적임을 의미한다. 이러한 경향은 예방활동과 안전규정에 있어서도 같은 성향을 나타낸다는 것이다. 따라서 경영층몰입, 예방활동, 안전규정은 저연령층보다 상대적으로 고연령층에서 효과적임을 의미한다.

In order to reduce the accident rate of construction in South Korea, governments and its affiliates have been tried to establish a safety culture, however they reached the limit. In addition, researchers recently have conducted regarding the safety climate and concluded that safety climate effect on the safety performance. Although organizational culture and enterprise types are different based on business size, they generalized the level of safety climate with a group only. Therefore, in order to solve this issue, the objective of this study is to analyze the safety climate level of construction company depending on business size in South Korea. In addition, the improvements are suggested on the level of safety climate after problems are drawn from considering organizational culture, enterprise type and construction industry in South Korea. In the future, this study will be used as a baseline for the effects of the safety climate on the safety performance in construction site based on business size.

The purpose of this study is to analyze safety perception level of workers in construction site according to NOSACQ-50. To achieve the objective of this study, First, literature review is conducted to clearly define the concept of safety climate. Second, NOSACQ-50 is used to survey the level of safety climate of workers. Third, statistical analysis based on collected data is conducted to examine the level of safety climate. As a result, the level of safety climate in South Korea was found to be serious comparing with the standard value proposed in NOSACQ-50. Finally, the improvements were suggested after investigating the key factors on the level of safety climate. In the future, this study will be used as a baseline for developing safety awareness assessment tools such as NOSACQ-50 for domestic construction sites.

As a domestic aviation industry has been growing continuously, the air traffic volume of en-route has increased rapidly to 2,300 a day. According to developing air navigation system including Performance Based Navigation(PBN), the manner of flights has diversified. Consequentially task of air traffic service has been increasing more and more and the organization of Air Traffic Service(ATC) established one Air traffic management Office(ATMO), extends to 3 Regional organization(Seoul, Busan, Jeju) and a number of air traffic controller exceeds 600. The purpose of this research is going to investigate the relationship between organization's safety climate and air traffic controller's safety behavior, In pursuing above, previous studies related to co-worker and supervisor's safety climate were examined for literature review. Based on this previous studies, research model was constructed. Hypothesis was verified by effect. Data from 209 samples was employed for final survey. The main results show that co-worker and supervisor's safety climate were meaningful factors to effect perceived Safety Behavior and safety knowledge, safety motivation were significantly and positive related to safety compliance.

Drawing upon Griffin and Neal's safety climate and performance model, this study developed an information security climate model. Research model is composed of three research variables that include information security climate, information security compliance attitude, and opportunistic security behavior. Results of the study strongly support the fundamental proposition that the organizational security climate has significant positive influence on the individual's opportunistic security behavior. However, the study also reveals that the organizational climate may not directly associate with the reduction of opportunistic security behavior. Rather the organizational security climate nurtures the favorable attitude of the employee towards the compliance of information security, which in turn discourages opportunistic security behavior.
