Developing crew's safety behavior based on safety culture and safety motivation

Abstract

Safety behavior is very important and determines individual and organizational performance. For shipping companies, safety behavior can help achieve company goals, including increasing competitiveness and organizational performance. Therefore, it is essential to investigate crew safety behavior from the perspective of other relevant variables. Based on this urgency, this research aims to investigate crew safety behavior based on safety culture and safety motivation and find a relevant model regarding the influence of safety culture on crew safety behavior through safety motivation. A Likert scale questionnaire collected research data from 122 crew. Research data analysis in the form of descriptive and correlational analysis is used to support Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The research results show that safety culture significantly influences the crew's safety motivation and safety behavior. In addition, safety motivation mediates the influence of safety culture on crew safety behavior.
