Abstract: In order to discuss the influence degree of miners' job satisfaction on work safety in coal mine, this paper analyzes and refines the relevant variables to measure the job satisfaction and unsafe behavior firstly, and puts forward the basis hypothesis. Then, the questionnaire design, data collection and statistical analysis are carried out. Finally, a second-order confirmatory factor analysis model and a causal path analysis model are built through the SEM model to discuss the relationships between both miners' individual characteristics and their job satisfaction and their unsafe behavior. The results show that the miners' educational and income levels have significant an influence on their unsafe behavior, that the job satisfaction, measured from three dimensions has a significant inhibition effect on the miners' unsafe behavior. Countermeasures and suggestions on improving the level of coal miner safety management are proposed from the performance appraisal and employee demand levels.

Key words: coal miners' unsafe behavior, structural equation model(SEM), individual characteristics, job satisfaction, hierarchy of needs theory, coal mine safety
