Abstract: To further explore how safety accidents affect the organizational culture of a construction enterprise, the connotations of organizational culture and five dimensional factors were firstly defined, including facilities environment, institutional environment, relevant party environment, safety values, and behavioral patterns, followed by an analysis on the effect pathways of safety accidents on each dimension as well as an empirical test by using SEM. The results show that safety accidents have a significantly direct impact on facilities environment, institutional environment, and relevant party environment, among which the influence on facilities environment and institutional environment is greater than that on the relevant party environment. Secondly, safety accidents have a significantly indirect impact on safety values and behavioral patterns, among which its indirect impact on behavioral patterns is higher than that on safety values. To reduce the impact of safety accidents on organizational culture, the construction enterprise can improve the environment of the construction site, strengthen the establishment of safety systems and improve its reputation, etc.

Key words: safety accidents, construction enterprise, organizational culture, influence path, structural equation model (SEM)
