Impact of job embeddedness on miners’ safety performance: the role of perceived insider status and safety climate

Abstract

The present study aims to explore the mechanism for the impact of job embeddedness on safety performance, the mediating role of perceived insider status and the cross-level moderating role of safety climate among miners. The questionnaire data used for analysis in this study were collected from 310 miners in 38 coal mine production teams in China. Bootstrap analysis was performed to explore the mediating role of perceived insider status, and multilevel linear analysis was performed to explore the cross-level moderating role of safety climate. The results showed that job embeddedness was positively related to miners’ safety performance; perceived insider status mediating the relationship between job embeddedness and miners’ safety performance; and safety climate moderating the relationship between perceived insider status and miners’ safety performance across levels.
