경영자의 안전리더십과 안전행동의 관계에서 안전문화와 안전교육의 병렬 다중매개효과 = Parallel multiple mediating effects of safety culture and safety education on the relationship between managerial safety leadership and safety behavior

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Despite strengthened regulations such as the Act on the Punishment of Serious Accidents and policy responses, industrial accidents in Korea remain at a serious level. This study empirically analyzed the parallel mediating effects of safety culture and safety training to identify the pathway through which managerial safety leadership leads to safety behaviors among organizational members. An analysis of 332 trainees at the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Training Institute revealed that managerial safety leadership exerted a significant positive influence on both safety compliance and safety participation. In the simple mediation model, both safety culture and safety training exhibited partial mediating effects; however, the results of the parallel multiple mediation analysis showed that the safety-training pathway was significant for both safety compliance (B=.364, p<.001) and safety participation (B=.300, p<.001). In contrast, safety culture exhibited a relatively limited influence only on safety participation and was not statistically significant in the safety compliance pathway (B=.065, p=.251). This suggests that for managerial safety leadership to be translated into concrete on-site behaviors, safety training must be effectively implemented, and safety culture may serve as the foundation for maintaining, sharing, and disseminating such safety practices within the organization. Therefore, organizations must use training to specify work procedures and behavioral standards, and establish these as operational roadmaps that are repeatedly reinforced through on-site systems—such as pre-work safety briefings(TBM)—to ensure they become entrenched as the organization’s everyday norms.
