Sažetak
Safety culture as an organizational factor has an essential role in preventing occupational injuries and diseases. In this descriptive-analytical study, the relationship between organizational safety culture, job stress and satisfaction has been investigated to have a better understanding of the effect of this organizational factor on employee job stress and satisfaction. Three valid tools, including the Safety culture questionnaire, standard job stress questionnaire (JSQ), and Standard Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire, were used. The study population consisted of 210 workers working in 13 production halls of an automotive industry who were selected by a simple random sampling method. After data collecting, SPSS software version 22 was used for data analysis, and AMOS software version 24 was used for confirmatory factor analysis. The results show a significant relationship between trained and untrained groups and safety culture (p = 0.002), job stress and education level (p = 0.006), and job satisfaction and education level (p = 0.011). Safety culture score was significantly different in trained and untrained groups (p = 0.002). Factor analysis showed that a workplace with higher safety culture could lead to less job stress and more job satisfaction in employees. Based on the results, safety culture affects job satisfaction and job stress. Also, we found safety and health education is one of the factors affecting safety culture, job satisfaction, and stress. Safety culture could result in less job stress and more job satisfaction in employees. Improving it will improve the safety and health situation and ultimately increase job satisfaction and reduce job stress.
