초록

본 연구의 목적은 안전보건과 관련하여 경영진의 지지가 근로자 안전인식에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 분석하는 것이다. 1990년대 이후로 우리나라는 국가경쟁력이 급속하게 상승하고 있지만, 아직까지 산업재해 예방과 대처를 위한 노력이 미흡한 실정이며, 특히 2020년대에 들어서면서 기업의 중대재해 책임을 강화하려는 움직임이 크게 일어나고 있다. 본 연구에서는 경영진의 지지가 해당 업체의 안전보건 관련 조직 및 제도, 의사소통에 어떻게 영향을 미치고, 궁극적으로 근로자들이 안전의식에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 지를 구조방정식모델을 구성하여 정량적으로 분석한다. 구조방정식모델을 위해 산업안전보건연구원에서 수행한 4,169명의 설문지가 관측변수로 활용되었으며, 5개의 가설이 설정되어 가설검증이 이루어졌다. 안전보건 경영과 관련된 경영진의 지지가 높아지면 조직 내의 안전보건 관련 조직과 제도의 구성 및 운영, 안전보건 관련 의사소통이 활발해지고, 최종적으로 사업장에서의 근로자 안전의식 및 행동도 증대되는 효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구결과는 안전보건과 관련된 조직, 제도, 의사소통 등의 제반 조치 이전에 경영진의 안전보건에 대한 중요성 인식 증대가 필요함을 함의한다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate effects of management support for health and safety on workers' safety perception. Since the 1990s, Korea's national competitiveness has been rising rapidly, but efforts to prevent and cope with industrial accidents are still insufficient. Particularly there is a big movement to strengthen corporate responsibility for serious accidents in the 2020s. In this study structural equation model(SEM) was constructed and quantitatively analyzed in order to know how management's support affects the organization, system, and communication related to safety and health in the company, and ultimately how it has an effect on workers' safety perception. 4,169 questionnaires conducted by the Institute for Occupational Safety and Health were used as observation variables, and 5 hypotheses were established and were verified in SEM. As management support increases, organization & institution for a safe workplace, communication related with safety and health within the company become more active. Finally management support has a positive effect on workers' safety perception. The results of this study imply that management needs to increase awareness of the importance of safety and health before all measures such as organizations, institutions, and communication related to safety and health.
