Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between safety climate, safety attitude and firm performance and the mediating effects of safety performance. The study is based on the 102 respondents from an automobile manufacturing plant operating in Haryana, India. Regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between independent, mediating, and dependent variables. The results of our study supported the framed hypotheses. Safety performance mediated between safety climate and firm performance, safety attitude and firm performance.
Highlights
The critical issue related to human resource management is occupational health and safety
Average of total work experience of respondent employees/managers was 7.2 years whereas average of experience in the present organization of the respondent employees/managers was 2.7 years. 36.3 % employee/managers were found below 25 years, 29.4 % employee/managers were between 26-30 years, 21.6 % were in 31-40 years, 11.8 % were in 41-50 years, and 01 % belonged to the category of 51-60 years
Multiple regression analysis was used to explain the relationship between the safety climate, safety attitude, safety performance, and firm performance of the organization
Summary
The critical issue related to human resource management is occupational health and safety. Occupational health and safety programs are aimed to provide a safe and healthy working environment. The numbers of work-related injuries or fatalities per year in a specific occupation give credence to the growing field of research and to entice more researchers to approach this burgeoning area (Lauren et al, 2012). In this period of liberalization, several measures have been undertaken to increase the growth and development in every area but nothing substantial has been done regarding working conditions of workers which are still lacking (Gupta et al, 2008). The study aims to assess the effects of safety climate and safety attitude on safety performance, and firm performance in a manufacturing organization
