Abstract This investigation provides an important insight into the Central and Eastern European food industry, beyond traditional food safety management and reflects on its food safety (FS) climate or the human route of its FS culture. Investigation was conducted in 10 Central and Eastern European countries involving more than 500 food companies. Overall FS climate was assessed as good. The availability of infrastructure was perceived the same in all countries although “resources” was the lowest scored climate component. Uncertainty avoiding national cultures had a stronger preference towards written FS procedures and instructions. FS climate was better assessed in bigger companies because small companies observed weaker availability of resources, smaller number of procedures and instructions and reduced risk awareness. FS communication and commitment were not affected by company size. The share of food companies without FS system was five times higher in small compared to big companies. No effect of FS management level or riskiness level on FS climate scores was apparent. Food companies seemed to avoid problems in cooperation and trust between FS leaders and other employees, since they have perceived FS climate similarly. The strongest FS climate segmentation in Central and Eastern Europe food companies was observed in terms of the EU membership status. EU operating food companies managed to develop a very good and distinctive FS climate, with better-perceived leadership, communication, commitment, resources and risk awareness than non-EU food companies. Transitional economic environment of non-EU countries have undesirably influenced the organisational and technological support in their companies and employees perceptions of FS climate.

全面洞察中东欧食品安全文化的人文路线

摘要 本次调查提供了对中欧和东欧食品工业的重要见解，超越了传统的食品安全管理，并反映了其食品安全 (FS) 气候或其 FS 文化的人文路线。调查在 10 个中欧和东欧国家进行，涉及 500 多家食品公司。总体 FS 气候被评估为良好。尽管“资源”是得分最低的气候组成部分，但所有国家都认为基础设施的可用性相同。避免不确定性的民族文化更倾向于书面的 FS 程序和说明。在大公司中，FS 氛围得到更好的评估，因为小公司观察到资源的可用性较弱，程序和说明的数量较少，风险意识也较低。FS 沟通和承诺不受公司规模的影响。与大公司相比，小型食品公司没有 FS 系统的份额高出五倍。FS 管理水平或风险水平对 FS 气候评分的影响不明显。食品公司似乎避免了 FS 领导者和其他员工之间的合作和信任问题，因为他们对 FS 氛围的看法类似。在欧盟成员国地位方面，中欧和东欧食品公司的 FS 气候细分最为明显。与非欧盟食品公司相比，欧盟运营的食品公司设法营造了一个非常好的和独特的金融服务环境，具有更好的领导力、沟通、承诺、资源和风险意识。
