摘要

Unsafe behaviors among miners constitute a key factor associated with the occurrence of safety accidents. Drawing on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), this study constructs a hypothetical model to investigate the factors associated with miners’ safety citizenship behavior (SCB). Data on subjective norms (SNs), perceived behavioral control (PBC), SCB intention (SCBI), SCB, and sense of safety responsibility (SSR) were collected through questionnaires, with a valid sample size of 1334. Structural equation modeling and multivariate statistical analysis were employed to test the proposed hypotheses. The findings show the following: (1) Personal factors are associated with behavioral attitudes, a sense of safety responsibility is related to subjective norms, and the organizational safety climate is significantly associated with perceived behavioral control. (2) Miners’ behavioral attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control are directly and positively associated with SCBI, and SCBI is related to actual SCB. Moreover, perceived behavioral control is directly and significantly associated with actual behavior. (3) The results of the mediation effect test indicate that all the hypothetical paths included in the research model are associated with significant mediating associations and that the corresponding mediating relationships of each path are effectively supported. (4) Multigroup analysis reveals that perceived behavioral control is not significantly associated with SCB among the Sichuan group. These results extend the application of TPB to the field of miner safety management. The proposed strategies can be implemented by strengthening safety training, enhancing skill training, conducting job-specific safety responsibility warning education, establishing a full-staff cogovernance norm system and optimizing operational conditions. These measures may be conducive to more positive behavioral attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control among miners, which could further contribute to stronger safety citizenship awareness, more active safety citizenship behavior, and fewer mine accidents.
