The Effect of Safety Culture on the Safety Consciousness and Safety Behavior of Manufacturing Workers -Focusing on the Mediation Effect of Safety Consciousness-

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of safety culture on the safety consciousness and safety behaviors of manufacturing workers, and to suggest ways for manufacturing workers to understand the safety culture and improve safety consciousness and safety behavior. To achieve this research objective, out of 176 industrial complexes in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province registered with the Korea Industrial Complex Corporation, workers at 50 industrial complexes, including the Korea Export-Industrial Complex and Seoul's Onsuji, were subject to research. The implementation of this survey distributed 300 questionnaires through the mid-level managers of manufacturers and environment safety and health managers over a period of one month from August 1st to 31st, 2019, finally statisticalizing the data in 282 parts excluding 18 questionnaires deemed to have been unresponsive. First, the safety culture (safety climate, safety procedures) has a positive effect on the safety consciousness (recognition of importance, interest and participation inducement) of the manufacturing workers. Second, the safety culture (safety climate, safety procedures) has a positive effect on the safety behavior (safety planning, safety check) of manufacturing workers. Third, safety consciousness (recognition of importance, interest and inducement of participation) has a positive influence on the safety behavior (safety planning, safety check) of manufacturing workers. Fourth, the safety consciousness (recognition of importance, interest and inducement of participation) appears to have a partial mediating effect in relation to safety culture (safety climate, safety procedure) and safety behavior (safety planning, safety check) of manufacturing workers. The implication of this study is that although the industrial accidents have occurred in the manufacturing industry in recent years, the studies on the workers in the manufacturing industry are insufficient. However, this study is meaningful that it has suggested ways for manufacturing workers to understand the safety culture and improve the safety consciousness and safety behavior by analyzing the effects of safety culture on safety consciousness and safety behavior of manufacturing workers.

안전문화가 제조업 종사자의 안전의식과 안전행동에 미치는 영향 -안전의식의 매개효과를 중심으로-

본 연구는 제조업 종사자를 연구대상으로 하여 안전문화가 제조업 종사자의 안전의식과 안전행동에 미치는 영향을 연구 하여, 제조업 근로자들이 안전문화를 이해하고, 안전의식과 안전행동을 향상시킬 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 본 연구 목적을 달성하기 위해, 한국산업단지공단에 등록된 서울·경기지역 176개 산업단지 중, 한국수출산업단지, 서울 온수단지 등 50개 산업단지 제조업체 근로자를 연구대상으로 하였다. 본 조사의 실시는 2019년 8월 1일부터 31일까지 약 1개월에 걸쳐 제조업체의 중간관리자와 환경안전보건 관리자 등을 통해 설문지 300부를 배포하여, 불성실하게 응답되었다고 판단된 설문지 18부를 제외한 282부의 자료를 최종적으로 통계처리 하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 안전문화(안전풍토, 안전절차)는 제조업 종사자의 안전의식(중요성 인식, 관심도 및 참여유도)에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 안전문화(안전풍토, 안전절차)는 제조업 종사자의 안전행동(안전계획 수립, 안전점검)에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 안전의식(중요성 인식, 관심도 및 참여유도)은 제조업 종사자의 안전행동(안전계획 수립, 안전점검)에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 안전의식(중요성 인식, 관심도 및 참여유도)은 제조업 종사자의 안전문화(안전풍토, 안전절차)와 안전행동(안전계획 수립, 안전점검)의 관계에서 부분매개효과가 발생하는 것으로 나타났다.
