Why is it important?
The results of the research empirically demonstrate that businesses that have positive safety cultures by investing in management systems can experience significant decreases in job accidents and employee satisfaction that affects firm and employee performance positively. Also, it has been empirically demonstrated that, depending on the improvement of OHS performance and employee satisfaction, there may be reductions in the costs of accidents that may arise after the accidents.
Perspectives
To better quantify the impacts of OHSMS efforts, this paper will investigate the relationships between OHS prevention cost, OHS practices, employee satisfaction, workplace accidents, and accident costs. A literature review indicated that there is a lack of empirical studies on the relationship between OHS, prevention costs, OHSMS practices, employee satisfaction, OHS performance, and accident costs. However, in their earlier work, Bayram, Ungan, and Ardıç (2017) investigated the relationship between constructs mentioned above except for OHSMS practices. Including OHSMS practices to the research model, this paper is different from this earlier work because it has different research objectives, sample size, and targeted respondents. Therefore, this paper is expected to close a significant gap in the literature.
