Effects of organizational safety on employees' proactivity safety behaviors and occupational health and safety management system in Chinese high-risk small scale enterprises.

This study proposed a structural equation model and examined the relationships of perceived organization support for safety (POSS), person-organization safety fit (POSF), and proactivity safety behaviors with safety management, safety procedures and safety hazards identification. Data was collected from 503 employees of 105 Chinese high-risk small scale enterprises over six months. The results showed that both POSS and POSF were positively related to improvement in safety management, safety procedures and safety hazards identification through proactivity safety behaviors. Our findings provide a new perspective on organizational safety for improving OHSMS for small scale enterprises and extend the application of proactivity safety behaviors.
