Abstract

Abstract: In order to improve level of coal mine safety management and improve miners' safety performance, a hypothetical model of relationship between job insecurity, organizational commitment, safety performance and generational differences was established based on theoretical analysis and perspective of intergenerational difference. Valid data of 476 front-line miners were collected through questionnaire survey, direct effect was analyzed using structural equation model, and mediating effect of organizational commitment and moderating effect of intergenerational difference were detected. The results show that job loss insecurity, execution insecurity, and interpersonal insecurity negatively affect safety performance and organizational commitment. Organizational commitment has a significant positive effect on safety performance and plays an utterly mediating role between job insecurity and safety performance. Intergenerational difference effect is substantial, compared with the older generation of miners, the new generation of miners' organizational commitment is more significantly negatively affected by job execution insecurity. However, negative impact of job loss insecurity and interpersonal insecurity on safety performance is weaker.

Key words: job insecurity, safety performance, intergenerational difference, organizational commitment, structural equation model (SEM)
