In previous studies the risk perception of future accidents was the main variable likely to affect safe driving. However, findings on the relationship between traffic accident history and risk perception of future accidents have been inconsistent. Moreover, in the case of occupational drivers, work attitudes could be the main factor affecting safe driving. However, no research has been conducted on the direct relationship between traffic accident history and work attitudes. Therefore, present study examined the effect of occupational drivers’ traffic accident history on their risk perception, work attitudes, and unstable driving. Data analysis was based on a self-reported survey of Korean occupational drivers (n = 388) and their official traffic accident records. Results show that traffic accident history was associated significantly with professional pride, job satisfaction, and aggressive driving but not with risk perception of future accidents or job stress. Moreover, all variables measuring unstable driving behavior were significantly related to professional pride, job satisfaction, and job stress. Furthermore, professional pride turned out to mediate the relationship between traffic accident history and current unstable driving. The major finding is that there is no significant relationship between traffic accident history and risk perception of future accidents. Furthermore, traffic accident history has a significant effect on positive variables such as professional pride and job satisfaction but not on negative variables such as job stress. In addition, the significant mediator in the relationship between traffic accident history and current unstable driving behavior was only professional pride.

在先前的研究中，对未来事故的风险感知是可能影响安全驾驶的主要变量。但是，关于交通事故历史与未来事故风险感知之间关系的发现一直不一致。此外，就职业驾驶员而言，工作态度可能是影响安全驾驶的主要因素。但是，尚未对交通事故历史和工作态度之间的直接关系进行研究。因此，本研究调查了职业驾驶员的交通事故历史对其风险感知，工作态度和不稳定驾驶的影响。数据分析基于对韩国职业驾驶员（n = 388）及其官方交通事故记录的自我报告调查。结果表明，交通事故历史与职业自豪感，工作满意度和激进驾驶显着相关，但与未来事故或工作压力的风险感知无关。此外，所有测量不稳定驾驶行为的变量都与职业自豪感，工作满意度和工作压力显着相关。此外，事实证明，职业自豪感可以调解交通事故历史和当前不稳定驾驶之间的关系。主要发现是交通事故历史与未来事故的风险感知之间没有显着关系。此外，交通事故历史对诸如职业自豪感和工作满意度之类的积极变量具有显着影响，而对诸如工作压力之类的消极变量则没有影响。此外，
