abstract="This research investigated the effects of  cognitive failure on workplace safety and accidents over 2 studies. It was  hypothesized that cognitive failure would directly predict safety behavior and  workplace accidents and predict these outcomes over and above conscientiousness.  It was found that cognitive failure uniquely accounted for workplace safety  behavior and accidents. However, it has been suggested by researchers that  certain individual differences might interact to produce differential effects.  Thus, a moderated model was tested examining the interaction of cognitive  failure and conscientiousness. It was found that cognitive failure moderated the  relationship between conscientiousness and accidents and unsafe work behaviors.  Overall, results suggest that cognitive failure plays an important part in  individual safety behavior, especially when conscientiousness is  low.",
