Abstract

This study aimed to identify the relationship between the safety leadership of safety and health managers, the safety climate of the organization, and the safety behavior of workers in the electronics industry in order to develop a sustainable industrial safety and health policy. The study included 842 individuals working at electronics industry cooperators. After analyzing the correlation between safety leadership of managers, safety climate, and safety behavior using SPSS 23.0, measurement model analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM) were performed using AMOS 26.0 to evaluate their relationships. We observed that the safety leadership of managers was associated with safety climate and safety behavior. Additionally, among the sub-dimensional variables of safety climate, the management’s commitment to safety and health and the delivery and communication of safety and health information were related to safety behavior. Therefore, enhancing worker participation and behavior requires strengthening the safety leadership of managers, increasing management’s commitment to safety and health, and improving the effectiveness of safety and health information delivery and communication.
