Background

Some researchers state that they are not yet able to provide a deep understanding of the underlying causes of unsafe behaviors (UBs). Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the attitudes and experiences of Iranian workers of UBs.

Methods

This present study was conducted in 35 industries using a semistructured interview based on grounded theory. Forty participants were interviewed, including 13 industrial safety and health experts and 27 workers and supervisors. The analysis of the present study consisted of a three-step coding process including open, axial, and selective coding.

Results

The results showed that the factors affecting UBs could be classified into three categories: organizational, individual, and socioeconomic factors. Organizational factors were divided into 6 parts: procedure and environmental conditions, communications, monitoring, organizational safety culture, resource allocation, and human resources. Socioeconomic factors had three subcategories: community safety culture, type of organizational ownership, and economic problems. Finally, the individual factors were classified into two categories of personality traits and individual competence.

Conclusion

The results showed that organizational factors were the most categorized, and it is estimated that this factor has a more important role in the UBs. Of course, to better understand the close relationship between these factors and find the weight and importance of each factor, it needs to measure it with multicriteria decision systems.

影响伊朗工人不安全行为的因素：基于扎根理论的定性研究

背景

一些研究人员表示，他们还无法深入了解不安全行为 (UB) 的根本原因。因此，本研究旨在调查伊朗 UB 工人的态度和经历。

方法

本研究采用基于扎根理论的半结构化访谈在 35 个行业进行。采访了40名参与者，其中包括13名工业安全与卫生专家和27名工人和主管。本研究的分析包括一个三步编码过程，包括开放、轴向和选择性编码。

结果

结果表明，影响UBs的因素可分为三类：组织因素、个人因素和社会经济因素。组织因素分为6个部分：程序和环境条件、沟通、监控、组织安全文化、资源分配和人力资源。社会经济因素分为三个子类别：社区安全文化、组织所有权类型和经济问题。最后，将个人因素分为人格特质和个人能力两类。

结论

结果表明，组织因素分类最多，估计该因素在UBs中具有更重要的作用。当然，为了更好地了解这些因素之间的密切关系并找出每个因素的权重和重要性，需要用多准则决策系统对其进行衡量。
