Behaving safely under pressure: the effects of job demands, resources, and safety climate on employee physical and psychosocial safety behavior.
Using the Job Demands-Resources framework, this study of more than 6,000 Dutch healthcare workers examined the relationship between job demands, job resources, safety climate, and safety behavior. All job resources (e.g., autonomy) and one job demand (i.e., work pressure) were directly associated with safety behavior. Safety climate somewhat buffers the negative effects on safety behavior, suggesting improving safety climate may also improve safety behavior.
