Abstract

Workers unsafe behavior, particularly of those of young workers, is a main cause of accidents in the construction industry, partly because of their rebellious psychology. How young workers’ rebellious psychology affects unsafe behavior remains unknown. This paper explains the phenomenon and answers this question from the perspectives of equity theory and social psychology theory, and puts forward intervention measures according to the internal and external factors. The measures include understanding young workers’ needs, improve organizational fairness, providing safety training and learning; implementing technology-enabled psychological measures and creating a strong safety culture. Finally, the paper discusses future research directions which includes adapting new research methods for data collection and analysis by developing and applying neuro-technology enabled experimental design.
