Abstract

Abstract: In order to measure the safety psychological capital level of coal miners in China, on the basis of LUTHANS's psychological capital questionnaire(PCQ-24), a scale of psychological safety capital for coal miners in Chinese context was developed. For developing the scale, 6 dimensions of miners' safety psychological capital were identified, including safety self-efficacy, hope, optimism, resilience, self-regulating and calmness. By using the selection of subject items, reliability analysis and exploratory factor analysis, 28 items were obtained for inclusion in the scale. A large sample test was carried out for the scale and a confirmatory factor analysis was made by using AMOS17.0. It is concluded that the scale can be used to measure the level of safety psychological capital of miners, and the measurement results provide the basis for taking measures for improving the safety psychological capital level and preventing unhealthy psychology of miners.

Key words: coal miner, safety psychological capital, psychological capital questionnaire(PCQ-24), scale, validity, reliability
