Abstract
This study examined the influence of safety-specific leadership style (transformational, passive) on safety motivation and safety behaviors. Specifically, the study examined the sequential mediating effect of group-level safety climate and autonomous safety motivations (intrinsic, identified regulation) on the relationship between safety-specific transformational leadership (SSTL) and safety behaviors (participation, compliance) by using structural equation modeling. The study also investigated the moderating effect of trust in leader on the relationship of safety-specific leadership and group-level safety climate. Survey data were gathered from 440 military personnel in the Republic of Korea Navy. Results showed that SSTL predicted both safety participation and compliance through the sequential effect of group-level safety climate and intrinsic safety motivation. However, the path to the safety participation was not significant when identified regulation safety motivation was mediated. Safety-specific passive leadership (SSPL) also predicted safety behaviors through safety climate and motivation by the identical process of SSTL, but the effect was negative. Also, on the relationship between safety climate and safety motivation, group-level safety climate had more effect on intrinsic safety motivation than identified regulation safety motivation. On the relationship between safety motivation and safety behavior, intrinsic motivation had more effect on safety participation than compliance. Trust in leader had a moderating effect on the link between SSTL and group-level safety climate. However, the moderating effect was not significant on the association between SSPL and group-level safety climate. Based on these results, the implications and directions for future research were discussed.

Summary
첫째, 변혁적 안전리더십이 안전 행동에 영향을 미치는 심리적 기제를 밝혀냈 다. 둘째, 변혁적 안전리더십과 수동적 안전리 더십이 안전분위기, 안전동기 및 안전행동에 서로 다른 영향을 미치고 있음을 명확히 밝혀 냈다. 본 연구에서는 안전리더십 유형에 따라 안전분위기, 안전동기 및 안전행 동에 미치는 영향에 어떤 차이가 있는지를 구 조방정식모형 분석방법을 사용하여 검증하였 고, 그 결과 변혁적 안전리더십은 집단수준 안전분위기, 안전동기(내재적, 동일시 조절), 안전행동(참여, 순응)에 직ᆞ간접적으로 정적 인 영향을, 수동적 안전리더십은 동일 변인들 에 직ᆞ간접적으로 부적인 영향을 미친다는 것을 밝혀냈다. 변혁적 안전리더십이 집단수준 안전분위 기에 정적인 영향을 미치는데 있어 리더에 대 한 신뢰가 높을수록 그 영향이 강해지는 것으 로 나타났는데 이는 안전리더십과 안전행동의 관계에서 리더에 대한 신뢰가 조절효과를 가 진 것과 같이 안전리 (Conchie & Donald, 2009) 더십과 안전분위기와의 관계에서도 리더에 대 한 신뢰에 따라 리더십의 영향력이 변할 수 있음을 시사한다.
