The influence of safety motivation on the relationship between safety training and safety behavior of Bangladeshi workers in a Malaysian construction company

This study particularly targets to identify the level of safety behavior of Bangladeshi workers at the construction sectors of Malaysia which aims to close the gap identified from existing practices and literature reviews. 556 numbers of Bangladeshi workers were engaged from a construction site of Malaysia to understand the level of safety behavior demonstrated by them. Also the influence of safety motivation on the relationship between safety training and safety behavior of the Bangladeshi workers was attempted to
investigate. Quantitative data analysis was performed including the
descriptive statistics, reliability analysis and normality test. Hypothesis testing was performed by Pearson correlation, simple regression analysis and hierarchical regression. The hypotheses of this study was supported by the results of the data analysis. The level of safety behavior of Bangladeshi workers at the construction sites of Malaysia were found moderate. The relationship between safety training, safety motivation and safety behavior were found supported. The mediating effect of safety motivation on the relationship between safety training and safety behavior were partially supported. This study also discusses theoretical and practical implications with recommendations for future scope of research.
