Abstract

This study introduces the concept of pandemic safety climate (SC), employees' perceptions of an organization's policies, procedures and practices aiming to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the theory of planned behaviour, we expected that the pandemic SC would be the base of employees' subjective norms, attitudes and perceived control in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic-related challenges. We hypothesized that pandemic SC would be associated with a series of attitudinal and behavioural criteria that aim to prevent the spread of COVID-19 as well as promote other health and well-being outcomes. Using both prospective and cross-sectional datasets, we developed and validated a measure of pandemic SC which consisted of two scales. Organization pandemic SC refers to the employees' perceptions of the strategies and efforts at the organization level and consists of four dimensions: management commitment and proactivity, workplace flexibility and capacity, equipment and sanitization for COVID-19 prevention and COVID-19-related communication and training programmes. Group pandemic SC refers to the employees' perceptions of the intermediate support and care from supervisors and consists of three dimensions: supervisor commitment and proactivity, safety monitoring and COVID-19-related supervisory communication. Construct validity and criterion-related validity were supported. Theoretical and practical implications of the newly developed pandemic SC scales are discussed.

在动荡时期促进安全:大流行病安全氛围量表的开发与验证
本研究引入了大流行病安全氛围(SC)的概念,即员工对组织旨在应对 COVID-19 大流行病的政策、程序和实践的看法。根据计划行为理论,我们预计大流行病安全氛围将是员工在应对 COVID-19 大流行病相关挑战时的主观规范、态度和感知控制的基础。我们假设,大流行 SC 将与一系列旨在防止 COVID-19 传播以及促进其他健康和福利成果的态度和行为标准相关联。利用前瞻性和横截面数据集,我们开发并验证了由两个量表组成的大流行 SC 测量方法。组织大流行 SC 指的是员工对组织层面的策略和努力的看法,包括四个方面:管理层的承诺和积极性、工作场所的灵活性和能力、用于预防 COVID-19 的设备和消毒以及与 COVID-19 相关的交流和培训计划。群体大流行 SC 指的是员工对来自主管的中间支持和关怀的感知,包括三个维度:主管的承诺和主动性、安全监控和与 COVID-19 相关的主管沟通。结构效度和标准效度均得到了支持。本文讨论了新开发的大流行病 SC 量表的理论和实践意义。
