Equations, Prediction, Safety ManagementAbstract
The purpose of studying the equation in predicting factors influencing the perception of operational-level employees' safety management is to examine the relationship between the perception of employees' safety management and environmental factors and to create a predictive equation that influences the perception of operational-level employees' safety management from variables related to safety perception and background factors. The population and the sample group consisted of 40 maintenance staff in a company. The independent variables include general information such as gender, age, education level, work experience, and safety perception (safety policy, safety knowledge, news awareness, attitude towards safety, and safety motivation). The dependent variable is the safety behavior of the employees at work. In data analysis, statistical software is used to create a simple prediction equation.
The study's results indicate that the perception of safety management by employees has a correlation of 0.832 with the perception of news information, and it has a correlation of 0.889 with the attitude toward safety. From the research results, it is possible to use this to predict factors in other areas of the organization and as a guideline to improve employees' effectiveness in safety-related work in the future.
