PresentationIt is well known that safety performance is differentiated to two components, namely, safety compliance and safety participation. However, relationships between safety performance and unsafe behavior were barely explored. In this work, the scales for safety compliance and safety participation were slightly revised for usage in coal mining processes, and job burnout scale was developed on the basis of MBI-GS. Then, structural equation model was employed to investigate the interaction of these factors using samples of 367 front-line coal miners in large state-owned mining companies in China. The results show that individual unsafe behavior could not be diminished significantly by only focusing on these two dimensions of safety performance. Compared with safety participation, safety compliance has more significant influence on unsafe behavior, and job burnout is an indispensable moderator between these two components and unsafe behavior. More importantly, it is vital to pay close attention to employees’ occupational psychological health problem for improving organizational safety management and promoting personal performance
