Abstract: With an aim towards exploring the mechanism of USB of miners different in education degree and seniority, miners were divided into two types, knowledge type and experience type. Two conceptual models were built for the relationships between the two types of miners and USB, with SFE used as a regulating variable, with self-worth reinforcement (SWR) and external benefit reinforcement (EBR) used as mediating variables, basing on the social cognitive theory. The models were validated by using SEM. The results show that KMs prefer to expect SWR and act safely under the action of it, EMs prefer to expect EBR and perform USB under the action of it, moreover, EMs have a directly positive impact on USB. EMs' SFE positively regulates the relationship between EBR and USB, and KMs' SFE negatively regulates the relationship between SWR and USB.

Key words: unsafe behavior(USB), self-efficacy(SFE), structural equation model(SEM), knowledge miners(KMs), experience miners(EMs)
