| Abstract |
This paper presents the findings relative to the influence factors on the safety of construction worker's actions. It identifies the factors which are involved in the safety behavior exercised by construction worker. They are compiled from existing studies that investigates the factors relative to the safety behavior. This study finds some factors which have powerful direct effects on safety behavior of construction workers. In addition, a model which defines the relationship between the factors and the behaviors of workers is established to analyze the effects. This study contributes to designe a theoretical model that shows workers' behaviors and analyzes the effects attributed to these factors: i.e., organizational commitment, stress reaction, safety motivation, safety knowledge, and safety climate. Survey questionaries are administered to the workers on the construction job sites located in Daegu metropolitan city. using SPSS18.0 and AMOS18.0, Exploratory Factor Analysis, Cronbach's alpha, Confirmatory Factor Analysis, Structural Equations Model analysis were performed. The research findings are as follows; The communication and educational training have the direct effect on the safety behavior. The factors of the safety climate constraints and/or contributes to the safety motivation, safety knowledge, and organizational commitment. |
