ABSTRACT
The high rate of accidents in the workplace makes employees safety be a priority in manufacturing companies. This is because work safety is closely related to employees’ survival. The paper was aimed to analyze the safety behaviour of employees in manufacturing companies by looking at the influence of three variables namely safety climate, job satisfaction, and safety motivation. This research was carried out in one of the manufacturing companies in Indonesia that produce musical instruments and furniture. The sample was employees in the production section with nonprobability sampling technique. There were 300 respondents who participated in this research, but only 190 questionnaires that were feasible to be processed. This study found that the safety climate and job satisfaction have a positive and significant impact on the safety of employee motivation. Safety motivation also has a positive and significant effect on employee safety behaviour. However, the safety climate does not have a negative effect and not significant on the safety behaviour. Then, job satisfaction has a positive effect but not significant on the safety behaviour. Safety climate and job satisfaction have direct effects to the safety motivation, and safety motivation has a direct effect to the safety behaviour. Then, safety motivation is able to mediate safety climate and job satisfaction on the safety behaviour. Based on the lowest indicator index value of each variable, things that need to be considered are safety support from supervisors, wages, safety behaviour willingness, and safety rules. Therefore, a company need to consider taking a policy in implementing a safety climate and increasing employee job satisfaction in order to improve the safety motivation, which is then expected to create good safety behaviour within the company.
