Safety leadership behavior as a moderator of the effect of safety climate and safety behavior on safety performance in the palm oil processing industry in Indragiri hulu regency, Riau province

This study aims to investigate the role of safety leadership behavior in moderating the influence of safety climate and safety behavior on safety performance in the palm oil processing industry in Indragiri Hulu Regency, Riau Province. The sample consisted of 329 unit leaders from palm oil processing companies. Data were processed using Smart PLS. The results show that safety climate has a significant effect on safety performance, while safety behavior does not have a significant effect on safety performance. Safety leadership behavior moderates the influence of safety climate on safety performance but does not moderate the effect of safety behavior on safety performance. This study reinforces the followership theory through the safety climate variable, which is capable of improving safety performance.
