Abstract
Occupational calling is defined as a career or work that individual find intrinsically meaningful, display prosocial orientation in nature and the result of summons. Numerous studies have made to investigated the positive effects, but there is little literature concerning the influence of occupational calling on safety management field. In the current study, we designed a model to investigate the relationships between occupational calling, work engagement, perceived organizational support, and safety performance among Chinese train drivers. A total sample of 368 Chinese train drives were from 18 major railway companies. The results reveal that occupational calling has a direct and positive effect on train drivers’ safety performance, and an indirect effect on safety performance motivated by work engagement. The findings also reveal that perceived organizational support may strengthen the positive and direct effect of occupational calling on safety performance. Besides, the practical implications of these findings are discussed.
