Güvenlik iklimi, örgütün iş güvenliğine ilişkin örgüt uygulama ve politikaları hakkındaki çalışan algılarıdır. Güvenlik ikliminin güvenlik davranışı, iş tatmini ve işten ayrılma gibi örgütsel değişkenlerle ilişkisi mevcuttur. Güvenlik iklimi iş kazalarının önemli bir belirleyicisidir. Bu çalışmada güvenlik ikliminin risk alma davranışıyla olan ilişkisi ve bu ilişkide örgütsel güvenin aracılık rolü araştırılmıştır. Araştırma verileri 2018 yılında 192 maden çalışanından toplanmıştır. Veriler anket ve kolayda örnekleme yöntemiyle toplanmıştır. Hipotezlerin testi için regresyon temelli yol analizi yapılmıştır. Analiz sonucunda güvenlik ikliminin risk alma davranışını negatif ve anlamlı bir şekilde etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca örgütsel güvenin, güvenlik iklimi ile risk alma davranışı arasındaki ilişkide aracılık rolü bulunmadığı da tespit edilmiştir.

Safety Climate and Risk Behavior: A Study in the Mining Sector

Öz

Safety climate is defined as the employees' perceptions about the organization's practices and policies related to occupational safety. Safety climate is associated with organizational variables such as safety behavior, job satisfaction, and turnover. Safety climate is a key determinant of occupational accidents. This study investigated the relationship between safety climate and risk behavior, as well as the mediating role of organizational trust. Research data were collected by questionnaires and convenience sampling from 192 mine workers in 2018. Regression-based path analysis was performed to test the hypotheses. As a result of the study, it was determined that the safety climate affects risk behavior negatively and significantly. It was also found that organizational trust did not mediate the relationship between the safety climate and risk behavior.
