Abstract
<p>Nowadays, workplace safety is a clear concern for both individuals and organizations, particularly in developing countries such as Jordan. This is evidenced by the expanding body of safety-related literature published on this regard. This paper develops a conceptual framework of safety management based on perceived organizational support theory. The main aim of this framework is to disclose the causal links between a physiological empowerment, respect, perceived management commitment to safety and safety performance based on previous studies. Such framework could have impact on practical issues in healthcare industry, as well as enhancing the body of related literature on perceived management commitment to safety. Consequently, this framework presents a new trend concerning perceived management commitment to safety through investigating each dimension of safety climate individually. </p><p> </p>
Highlights
Nowadays, many organizations and countries complain of the unlimited direct and indirect outcomes of occupational accidents (Polinder et al, 2016)
Increasing the perceived organizational supports will inspire the employees to work firmer and exhibit attitudes that are compatible with the organizations’ goals and objectives (Eisenberger et al, 2001). This conceptual paper proposed that perceived psychological empowerment, respect, and perceived management commitment to safety (PMCS) could improve safety performance in the Jordanians healthcare industry
Hofmann et al (1995) supported that employees should perceive safety concerns in management words and deeds. These findings indicate the important role of PMCS in achieving safety performance which motivates the scholars to search extensively the factors that strengthen the perception positively in the workplaces
Summary
Many organizations and countries complain of the unlimited direct and indirect outcomes of occupational accidents (Polinder et al, 2016). Several previous studies showed that improving safety performance is significant to reduce occupational accidents and maintain workplace safety (Siu et al, 2004; Zohar, 2000, Liu et al, 2015). This conceptual paper proposed that perceived psychological empowerment, respect, and PMCS could improve safety performance in the Jordanians healthcare industry.
