安全領導在警政勤務上的重要性

The Importance of Safety Leadership on Police' Safety Performance

本文主要調查臺灣地區警政單位相關人員的安全領導、安全動機、安全知識和安全績效之間的關係。我們以社會交換及自我效能理論為基礎，假設高品質的長官安全領導（包括安全指導、安全關懷與安全管控），可增強員警的安全知識和安全動機，進而改善他們的安全法規遵循與勤務安全參與行為。我們總共蒐集到440份有效問卷，並使用SmartPLS統計軟體驗證假說，其結果顯示僅有安全指導與安全管控對安全知識和安全動機有直接顯著正向影響；其次，安全知識和安全動機亦可直接顯著正向預測警察人員的安全法遵與安全參與行為。值得注意的是，安全知識和安全動機亦在安全領導與員警的安全法遵與安全參與之間扮演重要的中介角色。最後，本文調查發現可提供職場安全領導學者，及警察機構提升職場安全績效之參考。

This study investigates the relationship between safety leadership, safety motivation, safety knowledge, and safety performance in the setting of police agency in Taiwan. Based on social exchange and self-efficacy theories, we hypothesize that high-quality safety leadership from superiors (including safety coaching, safety caring, and safety controlling) can enhance the safety knowledge and safety motivation of police officers, thereby improving their safety compliance and safety participation. We collected a total of 440 valid questionnaires and used SmartPLS to test the hypotheses. The results indicate that only safety coaching and safety controlling have direct significant positive effects on safety knowledge and safety motivation. Furthermore, safety knowledge and safety motivation also significantly positively predict both of police officers' safety compliance and participation. Notably, safety knowledge and safety motivation were established as important mediators in the relationship between safety leadership and polices' safety compliance and participation. Finally, this study provides insights for workplace safety leadership scholars and police agencies aiming to enhance workplace safety performance.
