Abstract

The safety climate is seen as an important determinant effect that shapes the behavior and attitudes of employees towards occupational accidents in a positive or negative way. However, counterproductive work behaviors exhibited by employees appear as undesirable behaviors that negatively affect the current safety climate in workplace environments. In this context, in this study, it is aimed to determine the regulatory role of the safety climate in the effect of anti-productive occupational behaviors of employees in the machinery and equipment manufacturing sector on occupational accidents. For this reason, data were collected from 394 people working in the private sector engaged in "Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing" by means of a questionnaire. With the obtained data, necessary analyzes were carried out using IBM SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 24 Program. After the analyzes carried out, a slope analysis was carried out, which reveals the situations where the variable is high and low, in order to have a more detailed idea about how the regulatory effect changes situationally. As a result, according to the findings, it has been determined that anti-productive occupational behaviors have positive and significant effects on occupational accidents, and the safety climate has negative and significant effects. This result shows that if the safety climate is low, the effect of counterproductive work behaviors on occupational accidents increases, and this indicates that the relationship between counterproductive work behaviors and occupational accidents is regulated by the safety climate. As a result of the analyzes carried out, it was concluded that all the estimation variables included in the road analysis explained approximately 15% of the change in occupational accidents. The results obtained from the research will provide important clues in terms of the effect of counterproductive work behaviors and safety climate on occupational accidents, especially in the sector where the research was conducted.
