Sažetak
Brief introduction to the Problem: Construction accident
studies often overlook the internal perspective of employees
on site accidents' impact on corporate reputation.
Purpose: This study investigates the effects of construction
site accidents on corporate reputation from an internal view
point of stakeholders, focusing on employees. It also deter
mines the extent of the association between site accidents
and corporate reputation in middle-income economies.
Design/methodology/approach: A quantitative approach
was used, with 150 survey questionnaires administered
to employees in construction firms using purposive sam
pling. Descriptive and inferential statistical tools, including
the Pearson correlation and factor analysis, were used to
analyse the results.
Findings: Site accidents have 17 identified effects on corpo
rate reputation, negatively impacting leadership, financial
management, ethics, shareholder value, and sustainability.
Originality: This study highlights the significant impact of
construction site accidents on corporate reputation from an
internal perspective of employees and identifies the need for
more research on this issue. It has the potential to influence
construction health and safety research focus, which has
previously not addressed the issue of corporate reputation
from an internal perspective.
