Abstract:

In order to clarify the mechanism of perceived organizational support on miners' unsafe behaviors, a chain mediation model was constructed by introducing regulatory emotional self-efficacy and job burnout as mediating variables. A structured questionnaire was developed utilizing the Perceived Organizational Support Scale, the Regulatory Emotional Self-Efficacy Scale, the Job Burnout Scale, and the Unsafe Behaviors Scale, and a quantitative empirical study was conducted based on the sample data of 245 front-line miners. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to deepen understanding of miners' perspectives on these relationships. The results indicated that perceived organizational support significantly and negatively influenced miners' unsafe behaviors; regulatory emotional self-efficacy and job burnout exerted partial mediating effects between perceived organizational support and miners' unsafe behaviors, and regulatory emotional self-efficacy significantly and negatively impacted job burnout, with both variables exhibited chain mediation effects between perceived organizational support and miners' unsafe behaviors.

Key words: perceived organizational support, unsafe behaviors, chain mediation, regulatory emotional self-efficacy, job burnout
