Data from 837 employees in the aviation and healthcare industries was used to validate a model that predicted safety-related events and the effect of ethical leadership and ethical workplace climate on the organization's occupational injuries when safety climate was controlled for in the model. To assess the difference between employment samples, an ANOVA was conducted; significant differences at both the item level and the factor level existed; however, the model fit was not significantly different between the aviation and healthcare samples. Structural equation modeling was used to validate the hypothesized model; an unmediated path was found between the constructs of ethical leadership and occupational injuries that improved model fit and possessed greater weighting than a hypothesized mediated path. Highly weighted paths between the ethical workplace climate and safety climate constructs were also present in the model. Together, these findings demonstrate that perceptions of an ethical workplace climate can yield significant impact upon an organization's safety culture while workplace perceptions of ethical leadership are directly related to safety outcomes. This relationship provides a novel method for the prediction and mitigation of potential workplace mishaps. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
