The purpose of this study is to test the effect of achievement goal orientations and safety climate on safe and unsafe behaviors. Safe behaviors were measured by observances and automatic safe behaviors, and unsafe behaviors by violations and mistakes. Three fifty employees from corporations were participated in this research. Both mastery approach goal and performance approach goal orientations have significant positive relations with the safe behaviors and negative relations with the unsafe behaviors, but both mastery avoidance goal and performance avoidance goal orientations have significant negative relations with the safe behaviors and positive relations with the unsafe behaviors. This results suggest to confirm the multiple goal perspective of the achievement goal orientation argued both mastery goal and performance goal orientations have relations with adaptive and maladaptive behaviors. Safety climates measured by five factors, management values, safety practice, safety training, safety communication, and supervisor leadership, were significant positive relations with safe behaviors and negative relations with unsafe behaviors. Specially safety climates have significantly stronger correlations with unintentional behaviors(automatic safe behavior and mistake) than intentional behaviors(observance and violation). The relative contributions of individual variables and organizational variables to safe and unsafe behaviors were discussed.

This study aims to investigate how a teacher’s creative teaching is affected by the teacher’s imagination and his or her school principal’s visionary leadership and how the contextual moderating effects are at play among the cross-hierarchical factors. The research framework is divided into two levels, the individual level on how “teacher’s imagination” affects “teacher’s creative teaching”, and the group level on the impact of “the principal’s visionary leadership”. From the teachers of 65 primary schools in southern Taiwan invited to participate the survey study, 861 valid data were returned. The demographic variables were analyzed by the use of descriptive statistics. The cross-level moderating effects were further examined via Hierarchical Linear Modelling (HLM). The results show that the “teacher’s imagination” will impact the “creative teaching” positively. The “vision practice” will affect “autonomous learning and challenge-presenting” positively as well. Moreover, the “vision feedback” plays a positive moderator role in how “creative imagination” contributes to “interactive discussion and open-mindedness”.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate factors affecting safety climate, safety culture, safety performance, and the effect of safety climate and culture on safety performance in Fırat University Medical Faculty Hospital. Method: The population of this cross-sectional, descriptive study consisted of doctors, midwives, nurses and other medical staff (1454 people) working at Fırat University Medical Faculty Hospital. The minimum sample size of the study was calculated as 616 with a 95% confidence interval and 3% margin of error using the Epi Info program. The data were collected through a questionnaire consisting of personal information form, safety climate scale, safety culture scale and safety performance scale. The Kolmogrov-Smirnov, Man-Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis, chi-square test, ROC, internal reliability, simple linear regression and multivariate linear regression analysis were used in data analysis. Results: The median age of the participants was 31.0. Of the participants, 50.6% were women, 61.9% were married and 38.0% had graduate or higher levels of education. It was determined that those who had information on occupational accidents and diseases had higher perceptions of safety climate, safety culture and safety performance. Furthermore, safety climate, safety culture and safety performance were positively correlated. As a result of simple linear regression, it was determined that the security climate explained 12.1% and the security culture 17.6% of security performance. Conclusion: It was concluded that trainings should be increased and repeated periodically, reporting near-miss events should be facilitated. Finally, occupational health and safety unit should be established, and inspections should be increased.
