Description
Background: A number of accidents have occurred in small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Efforts in
reducing accidents have been undertaken through the implementation of safety behaviors. Unfortu-
nately, few studies have examined motives behind unsafe behaviors, such as safety silence motives. This study aimed to observe the motives underlying safety behaviors, namely safety silence motive (SSM) (SSM-relation, SSM-climate, SSM-issue, and SSM-job) and to evaluate the effect of SSM and safety communication on safety participation in different industrial sectors and scales.
Materials and Methods: Eighty workers from two industrial sectors and scales of SMEs were involved.
They were instructed to fill out a set of questionnaires. A five-Likert scale was used to respond. An independent t test was applied to find any significant differences. The partial least square-structural equation modeling for multigroup was used to develop a model on relations among the variables.
Results: The results showed that SSM scores were high in SMEs, and the scores were different across
industrial sectors and scales. SSM had a negative influence on safety communication, and safety
communication positively influenced safety participation.
Conclusion: The study of SSM, safety communication, and safety participation in different sectors and scales should be separated in SMEs.
