TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Validating a safety climate model in metal processing industries: A replication study JO - International journal of occupational safety and ergonomics A1 - Braunger, Paul A1 - Frank, Hermann A1 - Korunka, Christian A1 - Lueger, Manfred A1 - Kubicek, Bettina SP - 143 EP - 155 VL - 19 IS - 1 N2 - This paper attempts to replicate a safety climate model originally tested in Australia to assess its applicability in a different context: namely, across production workers in 22 medium-sized metal processing organizations in Austria. The model postulates that safety knowledge and safety motivation mediate the relation between safety climate on the one hand and safety compliance and participation on the other. Self-report data from 1075 employees were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results of the replication study largely confirmed the original safety climate model. However, in addition to indirect effects, direct links between safety climate and actual safety behavior were found.
