The influence of safety climate on safety performance: a case in a real estate & housing development organisation

Previous studies shown that safety climate and safety performance play a crucial role for occupational safety culture development. This study aimed to determine the relationship between safety climate and safety performance in Company X. Safety climate were explained by supervisor safety, safety training, safety rules & special safety training, and job pressure. Online self-administrative questionnaire was applied
for data collection which involved 80 respondents from the Development & Technical Services Office of Company X. Raw data was analysed using SPSS software version 26.0. The Pearson correlation analysis showed a strong positive correlation between
safety climate and safety performance in three out of four dimensions of the safety climate. The three significant dimensions were supervisor safety, safety training, safety rules & special safety training. Nonetheless, job pressure was an insignificant relationship with safety performance. Multiple regression analysis shown that the safety climate dimensions had a significant impact on safety performance. Thus, three dimensions of safety climate which were supervisor safety, safety training, safety rules & special safety training need to be considered for any safety programme. Ultimately, the significance of the findings was discussed in order to provide recommendations
and guidance for future studies.
