Abstract

In Malaysia, the construction industry held the unenviable fifth position for accidents occurring between 2017 and 2021, and it witnessed the highest number of fatal workplace injuries in comparison to other industries. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of safety commitment on safety culture and examine if self-efficacy mediates the relationship between safety competency and safety culture in the Malaysian construction industry. Data were collected from 385 supervisors, engineers and project managers of Grade G7 contractors who were registered with the Malaysian Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) in four states in peninsular of Malaysia, using systematic random sampling method and analysed using SmartPLS 4. The results revealed that safety commitment has a significant effect on safety culture, and self-efficacy played a significant mediating role within this relationship.
