Abstract

Background
Employees self-reporting low job control may perceive management as not being committed to employee safety.
Objective
Assess the relationship between self-reported job control and management commitment to safety while controlling for categorical variables.
Method
A 31-item survey was used in a cross-sectional study to assess the relationship between self-reported job control scores (JCS) and management commitment to safety scores (MCS). Descriptive statistics (means and frequencies), and an ANACOVA (analysis of covariance) were performed on a saturated model.
Results
Study had 71 percent response rate.

RESULTS indicate a statistically significant association between MCS and JCS when controlling for job position [F (5, 690) = 206.97, p < 0.0001, adjusted R-square = 0.60].
Conclusion
Employees with low job control have poor perceptions of management's commitment to safety when controlling for job position.
