Resumo: | Occupational accidents in the construction sector are still a major concern with relevant costs at different levels, both individually and socially. We developed and tested two structural equation models to study, from the workers’ point of view, the mediator role of working conditions and safety leadership on the relationship between safety culture and safety performance, in a Portuguese firm. This quantitative and correlational case study applied a questionnaire to a convenience sample of 320 workers. A structural equation modeling analysis showed that safety culture was predominant in predicting safety performance and that working conditions mediated this relationship, but safety leadership did not. The results allow company’s managers gaining certain insights about the role of safety culture, working conditions and safety leadership on safety performance prediction and in the work accidents’ prevention. Furthermore, likely may help to understand what is going on in other firms, in construction sector in Portugal, and to identify problematic areas needing to be addressed. |

Com base num questionário aplicado a uma amostra de conveniência com 320 trabalhadores de uma construtora portuguesa, desenvolvemos e testámos dois modelos para estudar, do ponto de vista dos trabalhadores, o papel mediador das condições de trabalho e da liderança de segurança, na relação entre a cultura de segurança e o desempenho em segurança. A análise baseada nos modelos de equações estruturais mostrou que a cultura de segurança foi sempre predominante na predição do desempenho em segurança e que as condições de trabalho mediaram essa relação, mas a liderança de segurança não mediou essa relação. Estes resultados enfatizaram a importância dos papéis da cultura de segurança, das condições de trabalho, e da liderança de segurança, na predição do desempenho em segurança e na prevenção de acidentes de trabalho na construtora. Poderão, ainda, contribuir para ajudar a compreender o que está a acontecer em outras empresas do sector da construção, em Portugal, e a identificar áreas problemáticas que necessitem de ser abordadas.ISPA - Instituto Universitário2022-06-14info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.14417/ap.1899https://doi.org/10.14417/ap.1899Análise Psicológica; Vol 40, No 1 (2022); 81-99Análise Psicológica; Vol 40, No 1 (2022); 81-991646-60200870-8231reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPenghttp://publicacoes.ispa.pt/index.php/ap/article/view/1899http://publicacoes.ispa.pt/index.php/ap/article/view/1899/pdfhttp://publicacoes.ispa.pt/index.php/ap/article/downloadSuppFile/1899/399Copyright (c) 2022 Análise Psicológicainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMagalhães, Miguel Côrte-RealJordão, FilomenaCosta, Patrício2023-05-11T10:19:35Zoai:ojs.localhost:article/1899Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T17:51:08.256026Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
