THE ROLE OF JOB DEMANDS AND JOB RESOURCES MODEL ON JOB RELATED STRAIN AND SAFETY BEHAVIORS: A RESEARCH ON BLUE-COLLAR WORKERS

Abstract

Purpose- This study aims to investigate the effects of job
demands and job resources model on blue collar employees’ job related strain
and safety behavior levels.

Methodology- For the purpose of the research, the data
which were collected from 235 blue collar workers from one of the
transportation company by the survey method were analyzed by using
partial least squares–structural equation modeling method. While
conducting analysis, Smart PLS program was used by applying bootstrapping
technique (5000 resample) to determine the significance levels of the proposed
hypotheses and also Anderson and Gerbing
(1988) two-step approach has been used.

Findings- Research results indicate that some of the
dimensions of job demands labelled as work overload, role ambiguity and job
insecurity have a positive and significant effect on job related strain.
However, job insecurity has a negative and significant effect on employees’
safety behaviors. In addition, research results show that one of the component
of job resources which is addressed as organizational support has a positive
and significant effect on employees’ safety behaviors.







Conclusion-
The study reveals that job demands and job
resources are the significant determinants of the job related strain and safety
behaviors. Therefore, it can be concluded that in order to remove unsafe
behaviors and decreasing job related strain, organizations need to maintain
favourable working conditions which considers work life balance and employees’
well-being.
