Abstract
Recent years, the large-scale wave of coal mine closures directly caused by the de-overcapacity initiative has increased concerns among China’s coal miners in relation to the continuity and stability of their jobs. In this circumstances of coal production in China, based on the strength model of self-control and conservation of resources theory, a chain mediating model was constructed to determine the relationships between job insecurity, emotional exhaustion, mind wandering, and safety compliance among coal miners in China. The sample consisted of 449 miners from three coal mines in Henan Pingdingshan Coal Industry Group. The results showed that job insecurity negatively predicted safety compliance, and emotional exhaustion and mind wandering played a chain mediation effect in the relationship between job insecurity and safety compliance. These findings help to deepen the understanding of the internal mechanism of job insecurity affecting individual safety performance, and provide an empirical basis for managers to intervene effectively in the safety performance of coal miners.
