Shipyard Employees’ Motivation towards Safety Behavior: Factor Analysis with Social Cognitive Theory Approach Dyah Santhi Dewi, Fasya Hana Zahda, Adithya Sudiarno Department of Industrial Engineering, Institut of Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) Jl. Arief Rahman Hakim, Surabaya 60111 Indonesia Keywords: Safety Behavior, Social Cognitive Theory, Shipyard, Structural Equation Modeling Abstract: Ships are important transportation modes used in the logistics and maritime industry in general. Many accidents have occurred in the maritime industry, and the root cause of those accidents is the unsafe behavior done by the employees. This research aims to analyze the factors that motivate the safety behavior of shipyard employees. The model that will be used refers to Social Cognitive Theory (SCT). In SCT, the variables used to construct the model are environmental factors (FL), management commitment (KM), safety-efficacy (SE), employee involvement in safety (TK), and work safety behavior (PA). From those five variables, 11 research hypotheses are established. Data is collected by distributing offline questionnaires to field employees, supervisors, and safety management at PT. DTPS. The number of respondents involved was 173 respondents, which is then modeled by using the structural equation modeling (SEM) method. The result shows that four of the eleven hypotheses are rejected. In addition to that, TK has an important role in motivating safety behavior in the workplace, which is subsequently followed by SE. Therefore, it is needed to change the behavior and culture of an individual at the workplace to improve safety behavior. 1 INTRODUCTION Many accidents have occurred, triggered by unsafe behavior. Many attempts have been made to reduce accidents. However, the number of accidents is not automatically decreasing. In the logistics and maritime industry, ships are one of the important transportation modes, and its quality should be a priority. Ships should be made through reliable processes as it guarantees the safety of the passenger, product, as well as, employees who operate the ships. While the safety of employees who makes the ships is also important in many shipyard companies, employees’ motivation in regard to safety is still low. Factors that influence shipyard employee motivation toward safety behavior need to be identified so that the shipyard company can take corrective actions to promote safe behavior and reduce the number of accidents. Based on this, this research wants to focus on analyzing factors that influence the safety behavior of shipyard employees. This research aims to develop a model to identify factors that motivate shipyard employees’ safety behavior, to identify the social cognitive variables that are most influential in motivating safety behavior towards shipyard employees, and provide recommendations to the company in improving occupational safety and health. For the case study, this research is conducted at PT. DTPS, a ship construction, and reparation company. PT. DTPS has implemented OHSAS 18001: 2007 safety management and ISO 14001:2015 environmental management system. However, there are still many employees who currently do not comply with work occupational health and safety (OHS) regulations, especially regarding the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). The field workers have the potential to experiencing work accidents related to physical hazards, falls, and scratches, slipping, or bumping. A condition where employees are not wearing PPE indicates the lack of supervision and awareness of employees towards safety behavior. Unsafe behavior is identified when employees are operating the machine. The operation is not performed based on the procedures, which might lead to work accidents. Moreover, the lack of communication between employees is also an issue that occurs in the company. The contribution of this research is to identify the factors that are most influential towards the safety behavior of shipyard employees. As a result, the company is able to take 244 Dewi, D., Zahda, F. and Sudiarno, A. Shipyard Employees’ Motivation towards Safety Behavior: Factor Analysis with Social Cognitive Theory Approach.
