Abstract: In order to improve safety performance in coal production, with safety supervisors of coal mines taken as research object, analysis is conducted on relationship between their work stress, safety behaviors, and managerial self-efficacy. Firstly, hypotheses were put forward and a model was constructed based on literature review. Then, investigation was carried out on 8 coal mines in Shanxi Province, and 308 valid questionnaires were collected. Finally, correlation was analyzed with SPSS software, and mediation effects of managerial self-efficacy were tested by using SEM. The results show that supervisors' pressure of safety responsibility is positively related with safety behavior while pressure from work environment, that of work tasks, internal organization, role conflict and career development are negatively related with it. And it is also found that managerial self-efficacy plays a mediating role in relationship between work stress and safe behaviors.

Key words: safety supervisors of mine, work stress, safety behavior, managerial self-efficacy, structural equation model (SEM)
