• Description:
  Background:
  
  Employees self-reporting low job control may perceive management as not being committed to employee safety.
  
  Objective:
  
  Assess the relationship between self-reported job control and management commitment to safety while controlling for categorical variables.
  
  Method:
  
  A 31-item survey was used in a cross-sectional study to assess the relationship between self-reported job control scores (JCS) and management commitment to safety scores (MCS). Descriptive statistics (means and frequencies), and an ANACOVA (analysis of covariance) were performed on a saturated model.
  
  Results:
  
  Study had 71 percent response rate. Results indicate a statistically significant association between MCS and JCS when controlling for job position [F (5, 690) = 206.97, p < 0.0001, adjusted R-square = 0.60].
  
  Conclusion:
  
  Employees with low job control have poor perceptions of management’s commitment to safety when controlling for job position.
