A literature review on antecedents of employees' safety behavior in construction projects

doi:10.16265/j.cnki.issn 1003-3033.2021.06.006

Abstract

Abstract: In order to systematically summarize current state of research on antecedents of construction employees' safety behavior, to identify future directions, and to explore specific problems for theoretical development, 55 Chinese papers and 85 English papers were reviewed by using both content and bibliometric analyses. The results indicate that number of related literatures is generally growing and antecedents have been identified from several aspects, including individual characteristics, team (group) interaction, workplace and work design, project and organization management, and family, industry, and society. However, much of such research is plagued by unclear conceptualization, undefined measures, and weak explanation of antecedents' influencing mechanism on safety behavior as well as inability of cross-sectional questionnaire survey in deducing cause and effect. The proposed the proposed integrated cross-level multi-path model can provide an idea for systematic studies on construction employees' antecedents of safety behavior in the future.

Key words: construction project, employees'safety behavior, antecedent, literature review, integrated cross-level multi-path model
