| Summary: | Past studies have established the association between safety culture and workplace behavior, yet the possible effect of work-life balance on this association has not been explored. This study investigates the mediating effect of work-life balance in the link between safety culture and workplace safety behavior among brewery workers. A sample of 250 (F = 36.2%; mean age = 24.94, SD = 4.96) brewery workers responded to three scales viz: Safety Culture Scale (SCS), Work-Life Balance Scale (W-LBS), and Workplace Safety Behaviour Scale (WSBS). Correlational analyses showed that safety culture was negatively related to work-life balance but positively related to workplace safety behavior among brewery workers. From the mediation analyses, safety culture and work-life balance independently predicted workplace safety behavior while work-life balance had an indirect effect on the association between safety culture and workplace safety behavior. The study concludes that efforts at sustaining safety culture that supports employees’ capacity to attain work-life balance may enhance the safety behavior of brewery workers. |
