Abstract

Abstract: To regulate enterprises' work safety behavior, a conceptual model was built based on KAP theory and the theory of safety management, for analyzing the relationships between perception of expected accident loss, safety attitude and enterprises' work safety behavior. Influence mechanisms of perception of expected accident loss, safety attitude on enterprises' work safety behavior were analyzed deeply. Through the data collection of 867 valid questionnaires of 33 items, the model was verified by using factor analysis and SEM. The results show that perception of expected accident loss and safety attitude have significant direct positive effects on enterprises' work safety behavior respectively, that perception of expected accident loss is positively correlated with safety attitude, and there is a positive interaction between the perception of expected accident indirect loss and the safety attitude when they affect enterprises' work safety behavior, and that an effective way to improve the level of enterprises' work safety is improving the enterprise policy makers' cognition of the expected accident loss and improving their safety attitude.

Key words: expected accident loss, perception, safety attitude, work safety behavior, structural equation model(SEM)
