积极的安全氛围可以提高员工的安全意识，减少员工的不安全行为。拥有一致的构成安全氛围的关键因素，对于促进随时间推移的安全氛围的衡量和比较至关重要，这有助于确定提高安全绩效的有效方法。本文考察了一家中国建筑公司的安全气氛因素结构与安全气氛改进随时间的一致性。它采用个案研究方法，报告了使用同一安全气候仪器进行两次调查的情况，两次调查相隔三年。探索性因素分析表明，所得到的安全氛围的四因素结构在两次调查中保持一致。验证性因素分析表明，安全氛围的二阶因子没有变化。在所有四个确定的因素上，也发现了统计上的显著改善。然后，通过与公司安全管理人员的访谈，确定了可以促进安全氛围因素(以下称为刺激物)积极改善的政府或组织战略和/或策略。研究发现，最有效的激励因素包括制定安全法规和安全规则，以及加大安全培训和安全宣传的力度。文中还讨论了安全气氛和刺激物的一致性因素结构的含义。
A positive safety climate can improve employees' safety awareness and reduce workers' unsafe behaviors. Having consistent key factors that comprise safety climate is paramount in facilitating the measurement and comparison of safety climate over time which helps identify effective approaches to improve safety performance. This paper examines the consistency of safety climate factor structure and safety climate improvements over time in a Chinese construction company. It adopts a case study approach and reports on using the same safety climate instrument to carry out two surveys, three years apart. The exploratory factor analysis showed that the obtained four-factor structure of safety climate remained consistent across the two surveys. Moreover, the confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that the second-order factor of safety climate was unchanged. Statistically significant improvements were also found on all four identified factors. The governmental or organizational strategies and/or tactics that could stimulate positive improvements on safety climate factors (referred to as stimulators hereinafter) were then identified via interviews with safety management officers in the company. The most effective stimulators were found to include constituting the safety regulations and safety rules, as well as increasing the intensity of safety training and safety promotion. Implications on the consistent factor structure of safety climate and the stimulators are also discussed.
