Güvenlik İkliminin Güvenlik Performansına Olan Etkisi: Türkiye’deki Çalışanlar Arasında Bir Çalışma

Öz

Güvenlik iklimi, güvenlik kültürünün bir alt boyutu olarak işletmelerde güvenli davranışları ve güvenlik tutumlarını etkileyen bir olgudur. Güvenlik performansı ise güvenlik ikliminin sonucu olarak işletmenin güvenlik seviyesini nicel olarak gösteren bir kavramdır. Literatürde yer alan çalışmalar incelendiğinde güvenli olmayan davranış, kazaların meydana gelmesindeki belirleyici faktörlerden biridir. Bu bağlamda, Neal, Griffin ve Hart tarafından geliştirilen güvenlik iklimi ve güvenlik performansı ölçeklerinin çeviri çalışması ve faktör analizi yöntemi ulusal literatürde ilk defa kullanılmıştır. Bununla birlikte yapısal eşitlik modeli (SEM) ve yol analiz yöntemleri kullanılarak iki kavram arasındaki korelasyonun incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Eğitim, sağlık, hizmet, sanayi-üretim ve diğer olmak üzere toplam 6 sektörden 317 katılımcı katılım göstermiştir. Faktör analizi sonuçlarına bakıldığında faktör yüklerinin 0,40 ile 0,95 arasında olduğu görülmektedir. Güvenilirlik analizi sonuçları 0,91 ve 0,97 arasında görülmektedir. Orijinal ölçekten farklı olarak, yapılan analizler sonucunda ölçeğin toplam 36 soru ve 4 faktör oluştuğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, yapılan ölçek uyarlaması ve analizler, gelecekte yapılacak çalışmalara ışık tutabilecek niteliktedir. Bununla birlikte Türkiye’de İSG eğitimlerinin eğitim ve öğretimin her derecesinde yer verilmesi ve nitelik ve nicelik bakımından artırılması gerektiği ortaya çıkmıştır.

The Impact of Safety Performance of The Safety Climate: Between Employees in Turkey

Abstract

Safety climate, as a sub-dimension of safety culture, is a phenomenon that affects safe behaviors and safety attitudes in businesses. Safety performance, on the other hand, is a concept that quantitatively shows the safety level of the enterprise as a result of the safety climate. When the studies in the literature are examined, unsafe behavior is one of the determining factors in the occurrence of accidents. In this context, the translation study and factor analysis method of safety climate and safety performance scales developed by Neal, Griffin and Hart were used for the first time in the national literature. In addition, it is aimed to examine the correlation between the two concepts by using the structural equation model (SEM) and path analysis methods. 317 participants from 6 sectors including education, health, service, industry-production and other participated. Considering the results of factor analysis, it is seen that factor loads are between 0.40 and 0.95. Reliability analysis results are seen between 0.91 and 0.97. Unlike the original scale, as a result of the analysis, it was concluded that the scale consisted of 36 questions and 4 factors. In conclusion, the scale adaptation and analyzes can shed light on future studies. However, it has emerged that OHS trainings in Turkey should be included in all levels of education and training and should be increased in terms of quality and quantity.
