Abstract

Abstract:

In order to examine how construction workers' safety motivation affects their behavior, SDT was used to divide the safety motivation into two types: autonomous and controlled. Subsequently, a hypothetical model linking workers' safety motivation, opportunity, ability, and behavior was constructed by integrating the analytical framework of the AMO theory. Finally, 469 frontline construction workers were taken as the research subjects for data collection, and structural equation modeling (SEM) was used for hypothesis testing and empirical analysis. The results show that the autonomous safety motivation of construction workers is significantly positively correlated with safety behavior, and the controlled safety motivation of construction workers is significantly negatively correlated with safety behavior. Safety motivation and safety competence play a positive moderating role between workers' autonomous safety motivation and safety behavior, while they show a significant negative moderating relationship between workers' controlled safety motivation and safety behavior.

Key words: construction workers, safety motivation, safety behavior, ability-motivation-opportunity (AMO), self-determination theory (SDT)
