Being Called to Safety: Occupational Callings and Safety Climate in the Emergency Medical Services.
Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine 2016 December
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the importance of safety climate in the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and to assess occupational callings as a boundary condition for the effect of safety climate on safety behaviors.
METHODS: EMS professionals (n = 132) participated in a three-wave survey study. Hierarchical linear regressions were conducted to test the moderating effects of occupational callings.
RESULTS: Safety climate was significantly related to safety behavior, and occupational callings moderated this direct relationship (ΔR(2) = 0.02 to 0.03, P < 0.05). Specifically, when occupational callings were high, the relationship between safety climate and safety behaviors was stronger, and when occupational callings were low, the relationship was weaker.
CONCLUSION: In this EMS sample, safety climate was an important predictor of safety behavior. Further, occupational callings moderated this relationship, suggesting that callings may serve as a boundary condition.
