| Summary: | Driving heavy vehicles with dangerous cargo involves various work environments that can significantly impact road safety. This research aims to study the impact of oil and gas tanker drivers� work environment on driving performance to identify and address any issues that may affect their ability to carry out their jobs effectively. To achieve this, a quantitative approach was employed using a questionnaire survey adapted from the literature review. The data collected from a sample of drivers of oil- and gas-heavy vehicles were analyzed using structural equation modelling. The study�s findings reveal a significant association between the drivers� work environment and driving performance, represented by a path coefficient of β = 0.237. These results highlight the substantial contribution of the work environment to driving performance, with an effect of 63. Consequently, the study emphasizes the importance of considering the work environment as a potential factor when assessing and enhancing tanker drivers� driving abilities during oil and gas transportation. © 2023 by the authors. |
