建筑噪音已被确定为主要问题之一，因为它是一种普遍的压力源，对工人的健康有有害影响。然而，很少有人知道的过程和机制连接施工噪音工人的安全行为。本研究旨在了解建筑噪声通过负面情绪对工人安全行为的影响，以及这些影响如何受到两种不同类型的监管焦点（即，预防和促进重点）。对375名建筑工人进行了问卷调查，并使用统计工具对数据进行分析。回归分析表明，施工噪声与安全行为的两个维度：安全合规性和安全公民行为显著负相关。此外，建筑噪声对负性情绪的正向影响被预防关注增强，而被促进关注减弱。此外，预防焦点对施工噪声通过负性情绪间接影响安全依从性具有调节作用，当预防焦点较低时，施工噪声通过负性情绪间接影响安全依从性。研究结果进一步加深了对噪声、负性情绪、安全行为和调节焦点之间关系的理解。本研究亦提供实务上的意涵，即减少建筑噪音对组织保护工人健康及安全的结果是重要的。
Construction noise has been identified as one of the primary concerns because it is a pervasive stressor with a harmful effect on worker health. However, little is known about the processes and mechanisms linking construction noise to worker safety behavior. This study aims at understanding the effects of construction noise on worker safety behavior via negative emotion, and how these effects are influenced by two types of distinct regulatory focus (i.e., prevention and promotion focus). A questionnaire survey of 375 construction workers was performed and the data was analyzed using statistical tools. The regression analysis indicates that construction noise is significantly and negatively associated with both dimensions of safety behavior: safety compliance and safety citizenship behavior. Furthermore, the positive effect of construction noise on negative emotion is enhanced by prevention focus, while diminished by promotion focus. Also, the indirect effect of construction noise on safety compliance via negative emotion is moderated by prevention focus, such that construction noise has stronger relations with safety compliance via negative emotion when prevention focus is lower (vs higher). The findings advance the understanding of the relationships among noise, negative emotion, safety behavior and regulatory focus. This study also provides practical implication that reducing construction noise is important for organizations to protect workers’ healthy and safe outcomes.
