The present study aims to investigate the serially mediating role of safety motivation and safety performance in the relationship between personal factors (conscientiousness, locus of control and risk taking tendency) and job performance for safety critical jobs. In line with this purpose, data were collected from 164 mineworkers and their immediate supervisors (N = 69) in a local coalmining company located in central Anatolia in Turkey. Mineworker participants filled out a questionnaire package including measures of conscientiousness, locus of control, risk taking tendency, safety motivation, safety performance and job performance. In accordance with the approval of mineworkers, their immediate supervisors evaluated safety performance and job performance of their subordinates. Results essentially indicated that safety motivation and self-report safety performance serially mediated the relationship between conscientiousness and self-report job performance. However, both locus of control and risk taking tendency failed to mediate the proposed relationships. The findings of the study are discussed along with the contributions, practical implications, limitations and suggestions for future research.

Understanding organizational deviance: An interactive model of perceived job characteristics and personality
Arkan, Öykü; Acar, Feride Pınar (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2020-6)

Data from 662 individuals were analyzed using moderated regression. Results showed personality traits of conscientiousness and neuroticism and job characteristic of identity...
Potential of Biosensors as Indicators of Safe Behavior in Construction Sites
Özel, Bekir Enes ; Pekeriçli, Mehmet Koray (2020-11-12)
Maintaining the safe behavior of construction workers is one of the major aspects of safety management in the AEC industry. Unsafe behavior in hazardous places like construction sites could lead to severe consequences. Meanwhile, measuring and controlling safe behavior is an ambiguous task. Unsafe behavior can have various reasons. It is a very complex issue that includes many hard-to-measure variables. Yet still, most of the time, understanding and analyzing these reasons are done merely ba...
Workload, safety climate, and negative affectivity as the presumed moderators of the risk perception-organizational outcomes relationships
Geçer, Canan; Sümer, Hayriye Canan; Toker, Yonca; Department of Psychology (2014)
The main purpose of the present study was to examine the moderating role of workload, safety climate and negative affectivity in risk perception’s relationship with safety performance of employees, burnout, and job satisfaction in a high-risk work context. It was first expected that risk perception would be positively related to safety performance and then, in line with the moderation hypotheses, it was expected that high levels of workload would negatively affect (i.e., weaken) the relationships between ri...
