A CROSS‐LEVEL INVESTIGATION OF FACTORS INFLUENCING UNSAFE BEHAVIORS AND ACCIDENTS
研究从团队（团队过程、安全氛围、干预意图）和个体（角色超载感知）两个层面分析影响化工厂员工不安全行为的因素，发现两者均显著相关，且团队过程通过干预意图间接影响不安全行为。
Several recent reviews of industrial accidents have given increased attention to the role of organizational factors as antecedents to the accident sequence. In the current study, three group‐level factors (i.e., group process, safety climate, and intentions to approach other team members engaged in unsafe acts) and one individual‐level factor (i.e., perceptions of role overload) were hypothesized to influence the frequency of reported unsafe behaviors using a cross‐level research strategy. Data were collected from 21 teams and 222 individuals in a Midwestern chemical processing plant. Both the individual and group‐level variables were significantly associated with unsafe behaviors, thereby supporting the cross‐level hypotheses. There was also initial evidence suggesting that the group process‐unsafe behavior relationship was mediated by intentions to approach other team members engaged in unsafe acts. At the team level of analysis, safety climate and unsafe behaviors were significantly associated with actual accidents. Group process and approach intentions were marginally related to actual accidents ( p < .10). The implications for a cross‐level approach to safety and interventions is discussed.
