Top-management Safety Climate Perceptions Scale
Overview
Top-management Safety Climate Perceptions Scale
Employee perception of the extent to which top management prioritizes workplace safety and supports this priority through decisions, practices, and resources.
- Construct
- Perceived top-management priority for workplace safety
- Target Population
- Employees in workplace safety contexts
- Response Format
- 5-point Likert-type scale, from 1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree.
- Number of Items
- 16 items
- Year
- 2005
- Adaptation Year
- 2022
Statistics
Reliability
Cronbach’s alpha = .92.
Evidence
Validity Notes
CFA results supported the distinctiveness of safety climate from supervisor behavioral integrity, safety motivation, safety compliance, and safety participation. The five-factor model fit the data after allowing correlated residuals among selected item pairs.
Notes
Additional Notes
In Peker et al. (2022), the scale was translated into Turkish and used as employee perceptions of top-management safety climate; a separate Turkish adaptation/validation study was not reported.
