Abstract

The daily casualties and environmental damage caused by accidents in different organizations around the world have attracted the attention of industries, academia, and governments. Thus, worker behavior-based safety has become one of the key areas of safety management research, as the unsafe behavior of workers has a significant impact on production performance. This study carries out a systematic literature review to build a model of international worker safety behavior research that examines the relationship between safety behavior and standards, supervisor safety behavior, and other influencing factors. From the perspectives of influential factors, industries, research methods, organizational levels, enterprise size, and demographic characteristics of workers, the pressing issues of worker safety behavior research are generalized and the characteristics of the research results summarized. Finally, based on the analysis, we conclude by identifying scope for future research: (1) innovation in the research theories supporting worker behavior-based safety; (2) innovation in research methods; (3) and innovation in the perspectives of worker behavior-based safety research.
