N2  - Safety citizenship behavior (SCB) is a higher-order construct consisting of various behaviors such as helping co-workers, promoting safety programmers, demonstrating initiative, suggesting changes for improving safety. Those behaviors are very importance for coal mine safety because of the dynamics of hazard in coal mine. However, safety climate in relation to SCB has rarely been examined. This study has investigated the influence of safety climate on SCB in the context of coal mine. Self-administered questionnaires that included a SCB scale and a safety climate scale were used to collect data in three coal mines in China. The number of returned valid questionnaires was 450, and the response rate was 88.2%. Exploratory factor analysis identified two dimensions of SCB and four dimensions of safety climate. The structural equation modeling results suggest that the safety climate positively affects SCB. The results of the statistical analysis indicated that coal mine leaders would do well to develop a strategy to improve the safety climate that can produce the highest levels of safety behavior.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
