| Popis: | 93 The purpose of this study was to explore the reception degree and correlation of Taiwan manufacturing workers regarding safety leadership, risk perception and safety performance. First of all, questionnaires were formulated base on national and overseas literature reviews and questionnaires. The questionnaires were“Safety Leadership Perception Questionnaire”, “Risk Perception Questionnaire”, and “Safety Performance Questionnaire” for manufacturing industry in Taiwan region. By the means of analyzing manufacturing industries workers regarding the correlation of safety leadership,risk perception and safety performance. This study adopts purposive sampling questionnaire survey with Taiwan manufacturing workers as population. 2,200 questionnaires were distributed with the returning rate of 63.80% equalizing 1,405. Meanwhile, the valid number was 1,237 with the valid rate of 88.04%. The results of the questionnaires were analyzed by the following statistical methods: factor analysis, T2 test, F test, Wilk'Λ multivariate variance analysis, canonical correlations and multiple stepwise regression analysis. The data obtained was processed and analyzed as to test the hypothesis. The findings were used as the basis for data interpretation in making concrete conclusion and suggestions for the reference of manufacturing industry and relevant units regarding safety management. According to the statistical and analytical results of the literature review and questionnaire survey, this study obtained the following conclusions： 1.Manufacturing workers perceived above average degree in safety leadership, risk perception, safety performance. As a whole, average value of safety performance appeared as the highest. 2.Workers with different organizational factors in the manufacturing industries. profession and area caused the significant difference of workers’ perception about safety leadership. Among all, workers of chemical and livelihood industries perceived higher degree of safety leadership as compare to high-technology, metal machinery and information electronic industries. Meanwhile, workers from eastern area possessed higher degree of safety leadership than the workers from northern and southern areas. 3.Workers with different personal factors in the manufacturing industries. age, occupational ranking, educational level, and years of working experience there were significant difference in safety leadership. 4.Workers with different organizational factors in the manufacturing industries, professions and areas there were significant differences in risk perception. According to the data, workers of chemical industries had higher reception degree than those in high-technology, metal machinery, and information electronic industries. Data also reveal that in terms of machinery facilities and safety protection, workers of the east possess higher reception degree as compare to the workers of north, center, and south. 5.Workers with different personal factors in the manufacturing industries. such as sex, age, occupational ranking, accident experience, and years of working experience resulted obvious difference in risk perception. Male workers possess higher reception degree of risk perception than the female. Workers of above forty-five years old also possess higher reception degree than the under forty-five ones. Meanwhile, reception degree of operating staffs, engineers, basic cadres, and managers averagely higher than the administrative staffs. Higher reception degree also found on the workers who had severe accidents than those with minor or none accident. Workers with more than 20-year working experience also having higher reception degree than those with less than 20-year working experience. 6.There were significant positive correlation between safety leadership and risk perception. And, safety communication had higher positive correlation on risk perception. 7.There were significant positive correlation between safety leadership and safety performance Meanwhile, safety communication had higher positive correlation on safety performance. 8.There were significant positive correlation between risk perception and safety performance. However, safety prevention and safety performance had higher positive correlation. 9.Safety leadership and risk perception had predictability in safety performance. Safety communication possessed the most predictability on safety practice, safety training, safety organization and the whole safety performance. Meanwhile, the best predictability was also found on safety prevention when it comes to damage control. And, safety attitude had the best predictability in accident statistics. 10.From the predictability analyses of safety leadership on safety performance of workers and managers, it was found that both safety communication and safety attitude had the highest predictability on safety leadership of the workers as well as the mangers. 11.From the predictability analyses of risk perception on safety performance of workers and managers, risk estimation had the highest predictability when the staffs came to safety performance. Meanwhile, the management had high predictability in safety communication, safety attitude, organization authorization, and the other aspects.
