Abstract
The objectives of this research aimed to develop a causal model of factors influencing the safety performance of an organization in Thailand, the case study of airside operators in the airports of Thailand, by (1) investigating correlation between safety management system and positive safety culture and a safe organization climate; (2) testing effects of a safety management system, positive safety culture, and a safe organization climate; (3) studying safety performance and safety management system. The research population were the organization’s employees working in the airside of the airports in Thailand under the control of Airport of Thailand Public Company Limited. The total number of the employees was 61,482. The samples comprising 440 employees from the particular organization were taken using a multi-stage sampling method. The data was collected through questionnaires during June to August 2013. The researcher received 414 questionnaires back from the respondents, making a 94% response rate. The researcher analyzed the data by using a statistical method called structural equation modeling.
The results of the research showed that a safety management system and positive safety culture had a direct positive influence on a safe climate; a safe climate had a direct positive influence on safety behavior; and safety behavior had a direct positive influence on the safety performance of the organization. The results also indicated that a safety management system and positive safety culture had an indirect positive influence on safety behavior and the safety performance of the organization; and a safe climate had an indirect positive influence on the safety performance of the organization operating in the airside.
