Abstract

Past studies exhibited limited published evidence, specifically on examining the determinants of safety performance among employees based on the Heinrich Domino Theory. Thus, this study aimed to assess the role of three prominent variables in explaining the safety performance of employees in manufacturing settings. This study utilized partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to ascertain the causal effect between the variables and whether the incorporated variables could improve these relationships. The results were based on a survey of employees (N = 150) at TAMCO Switchgear (M) Pte. Ltd., a manufacturing company in Malaysia. The findings suggested that all three variables have a positive and significant direct effect on employee safety performance. These results suggest that organizations, specifically manufacturing companies should consider proper safety management, provide specific safety training, and disseminate safety communication through proper channels to encourage employees to practice proper safety performance at the
workplace.
