Impact of Safety Worker Behaviour on Safety Performance in Construction Firm of Nepal; A Moderated Mediation Model

The study concentrates to analyse systematic SEM-PLS modelling for the moderation role of safety Training (STT) and the mediation role of Safety Worker Behaviour (WB) to improve Safety Performance (SP) of construction firms. Besides, this research focuses on presenting causal relationships and interactions within enablers and goals or outcomes as SP which are engaged in study. To test the proposed SEM-PLS model, 320 valid responses from engineering personalities have been collected using a questionnaire survey. Hazard management (HM) have highly positive influences on WB. Besides, all the mediating variables showed a complementary partial mediation relationship. From evaluation matrix output, the safety worker behaviour of the International Non-Governmental Organizations (INGOs) has good (IV) range whereas public and private construction firms seem to have poor (II) range as per implementation of Maximum Degree of Membership (MDM) principle. This study presents the improvement of safety performance in the construction firms as it delivers strong visions into the cause-effect relationship of safety performance factors and goals.
