安全氛围是衡量员工在公司中将安全视为优先事项的程度，通常被认为是促进减少伤害行为和安全工作环境的关键因素。本研究以社会交换理论为理论基础，假设安全气氛与员工的工作满意度、敬业度和离职率相关，强调安全气氛的有益影响超出了典型的安全结果。调查数据来自两家美国卡车公司的6207名卡车司机。在调查数据收集一年后收集了客观更替率。结果表明，员工的安全气氛感知与员工的工作满意度，敬业度和客观离职率，从而支持社会交换理论的应用。工作满意度也是安全气氛和两个人力资源结果（即，员工参与度和离职率）。这项研究是第一次评估安全气候的影响，超越了孤独工人的安全结果（以卡车司机为例）。(C)2016作者爱思唯尔有限公司出版
Safety climate, a measure of the degree to which safety is perceived by employees to be a priority in their company, is often implicated as a key factor in the promotion of injury-reducing behavior and safe work environments. Using social exchange theory as a theoretical basis, this study hypothesized that safety climate would be related to employees' job satisfaction, engagement, and turnover rate, highlighting the beneficial effects of safety climate beyond typical safety outcomes. Survey data were collected from 6207 truck drivers from two U.S. trucking companies. The objective turnover rate was collected one year after the survey data collection. Results showed that employees' safety climate perceptions were linked to employees' level of job satisfaction, engagement, and objective turnover rate, thus supporting the application of social exchange theory. Job satisfaction was also a significant mediator between safety climate and the two human resource outcomes (i.e., employee engagement and turnover rate). This study is among the first to assess the impact of safety climate beyond safety outcomes among lone workers (using truck drivers as an exemplar). (C) 2016 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
