abstract="This study investigated the role of workplace preparedness actions in employee perceptions of workplace risk, workplace preparedness, and personal self-efficacy in  an active shooter event. Data were drawn from an online, state representative survey  of 668 Pennsylvania residents in 2019. Nearly 40% of employees reported their  workplaces had not taken any preparedness actions. Having a workplace take a greater  number of preparedness actions was associated with increased self-efficacy and  increased perceptions of workplace preparedness, but also an increase in perceived  risk. Males and gun owners perceived lower levels of workplace risk and reported  substantially higher self-efficacy. However, associations between workplace efforts  and self-efficacy differed from those for perceived workplace preparedness. Associations with firearm policy and the presence of security staff also differed  for the two outcomes.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
