该研究的目的是调查管理实践对食品处理人员承诺的影响，并最终影响食品制造设施的食品安全绩效。两个焦点小组，一个有六个食品处理器和其他六个食品安全专业人员，被用来开发一个概念模型，衡量管理实践对食品处理器的承诺和组织绩效的影响。结构模型的适用性是通过对来自阿拉伯联合酋长国迪拜酋长国189家食品生产设施和官方食品检查员的945名受访者进行调查来衡量的。研究发现，培训，沟通，员工参与和组织管理支持积极和显着影响员工的承诺，员工承诺积极和显着影响设施的食品安全绩效。这些结果表明，食品处理承诺是一个关键因素之间的关系，所有的研究管理实践和设施的食品安全性能。这项研究可能对食品安全检查员、执法人员、培训机构和食品生产管理人员在工作中考虑人的因素产生影响。
The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of management practices on food handler commitment and, ultimately, food safety performance in food manufacturing facilities. Two focus groups, one with six food handlers and the other with six food safety professionals, were used to develop a conceptual model that measured the effect of management practices on food handler commitment and organizational performance. The fitness of the structural model was measured via a survey with 945 respondents from 189 food manufacturing facilities and official food inspectors in the Emirate of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The study found that training, communication, employee involvement, and organizational management support positively and significantly influenced employee commitment, and employee commitment positively and significantly influenced facilities' food safety performance. These results indicate food handler commitment is a critical factor in the relationship between all of the studied management practices and facilities' food safety performance. The study may have implications for food safety inspectors, enforcement officers, training agencies, and food manufacturing managements to consider human aspects in their work.
