Description
Summary:The study investigates the relationship between safety climate dimensions (management commitment, safety training, and safety knowledge) and safety performance at DOSH Putrajaya. It aims to determine the levels of safety performance and the connections between these dimensions and safety performance. A quantitative approach is used, and data is collected through surveys from the technical officers at DOSH Putrajaya. The data is then analyzed using reliability testing, demographics, descriptive analysis, and Pearson correlation. The results reveal a significant positive relationship between safety climate dimensions and safety performance, although the impact strength varies. Safety knowledge demonstrates a moderate relationship, safety training indicates a weak one, and management commitment shows relatively low impact. Theoretical implications emphasize the importance of these factors in enhancing safety performance within the organization, underscoring the need for continued focus on management commitment, safety training, and safety knowledge. From a practical standpoint, it suggests prioritizing safety training, fostering a safety culture, and empowering employees with safety knowledge to improve safety performance. The study also recommends future research directions, such as exploring additional factors that influence safety performance, conducting comparative studies across different organizational units, and incorporating qualitative methods for a more comprehensive understanding. These findings contribute to discussions on safety management in public sector organizations, with the goal of enhancing safety performance and cultivating a culture of safety and well-being among employees.
