Management Commitment And
Safety Training As Antecedent Of
Workers Safety Behavior.
International Journal of Supply Chain,
Operation Management and Logistics,
1 (2), 01-20.
The manufacturing sector in Malaysia is categorized as one of the dangerous
work sectors with a high accident record. The use of heavy machinery, unsafe
working conditions, and hazardous materials handling is among the causes of
many work-related accidents recorded among factory workers. In addition, the
lack of safety training and low safety management commitment towards
worker safety also contributed to the increasing number in this statistic. The
goal of this investigation is to determine the link between management
commitment and safety training on safety behaviour among workers. This
study involved small and medium factory workers operating in the northern
states of peninsular Malaysia. The data for this study was obtained using a
questionnaire, while the Statistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS)
application was used to perform the data analysis process. The results of the
data analysis show that employers' commitment to safety and safety training
has a positive relationship with safety behaviour among study respondents.
Suggestions and improvements to the study are presented at the end of this
writing.
