• 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. [Description provided by NIOSH]
