Abstract: | Since the original formulation of the notion of safety climate, many people have developed safety climate measures and conducted factor analyses to identify distinct dimensions. Typically, these analyses were based on samples of workers in a limited number of workplaces, but since they did not allow for the non-independence of the data, they are incorrect. An appropriate analysis should use a multi-level method. This flaw in the analyses to date may at least partly explain the different factor structures of safety climate reported in the literature. |
