Güvenlik İklimi ve Güvenlik Kültürünün İşyeri Yaralanmaları Üzerine Etkisinde Güvenlik Davranışlarının Aracılık Rolü: Döküm Sanayinde Bir Araştırma

İnsanlar iş hayatlarında olduğu gibi sosyal hayatlarında da güven içerisinde olmayıisterler. Ancak bazı meslekler vardır ki (madencilik, demir-çelik, metal döküm sanayi vb.)zaman zaman iş kazası durumları ve beraberinde ciddi yaralanmalar yaşanabilir. Bu işkazasının sebep olacağı yaralanmaları azaltmak için işyerinde güvenli bir atmosferinoluşturulması son derece önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, güvenlik iklimi ve güvenlikkültürünün işyeri yaralanmalarına etkisinde güvenlik davranışlarının aracılık rolünü tespitetmektir. Çalışmanın kapsamı ve sınırları itibarıyle; Kırşehir ve Kırıkkale’de yer alandöküm sektöründeki işletmelerin çalışanlarıdır. Veri toplamak amacıyla anket yöntemikullanılmıştır. Kırıkkale ve Kırşehir'deki metal döküm sanayiinde 309 çalışanın anketverileri kullanılmıştır. Değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiler Amos istatistik programı ile analizedilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda güvenlik iklimi ve güvenlik kültürünün işyeriyaralanmaları üzerinde etkisinde güvenlik davranışlarının aracılık etkisinin olduğugörülmüştür.

The Mediating Role of Safety Behaviors on the Relationship between Safety Climate, Safety Cultural and Workplace Injuries: A Research in the Metal Casting Industry

People want to be safe in their social lives as well as in their business life. However, there are some occupations (mining, iron-steel, metal casting industry, etc.) from time to time work accidents and accompanying serious injuries may occur. It is extremely important to create a safe atmosphere in the workplace to reduce the injuries caused by this work accident. The aim of this study is to determine the mediating role of security behaviors in the safety climate and safety culture in terms of workplace injuries. According to the scope and limits of the study; Kırşehir and Kırıkkale are the employees of the companies in the casting sector. Survey method was used to collect data. The survey data of 309 employees were used in the metal casting industry in Kırıkkale and Kırşehir. The relationships between variables were analyzed by Amos statistical program. As a result of the study, it was observed that security behaviors have a mediating effect on the safety climate and safety culture on the workplace injuries.
