The Influence of Safety Climate, Motivation, and Knowledge on Worker Compliance and Participation: An Empirical Study of Indonesian SMEs

Safety behavior is a crucial thing which must be considered concerning accidents in work areas. Work accidents are primarily led by unsafe behaviors. Those behaviors can be expressed based on the degree of safety compliance and safety participation of employees. Several studies related to safety beh...

description Safety behavior is a crucial thing which must be considered concerning accidents in work areas. Work accidents are primarily led by unsafe behaviors. Those behaviors can be expressed based on the degree of safety compliance and safety participation of employees. Several studies related to safety behavior in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) have been conducted. However, studies related to the integration of person-related factors and situation-related factors are rare. The purpose of the study is to observe the safety climate (as a situation-related factor), and safety motivation and safety knowledge (as person-related factors) toward safety compliance and safety participation in SMEs. This study was conducted on 29 Indonesian SMEs’ metal manufacturing, and a self-administered questionnaire was utilized as a research instrument. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to evaluate the effect of safety climate, safety motivation, and safety knowledge on safety behavior. The results showed that safety climate and safety knowledge are positively significant in influencing both safety compliance and safety participation. However, safety motivation has a positive significant effect on safety participation only. The implication of this result has been discussed.
