BackgroundThe article addresses the issue of attitudes towards safety at work in the context of subjective variables such as psychological stress and the subjective self-efficacy of workers in the aviation sector. The research was exploratory in nature. It focused on capturing the individual experiences of ground handling staff at Polish and Slovak airports. Among the 326 people surveyed were engineers, firefighters, mechanics and electricians – a crew that works in difficult and threatening working conditions on a daily basis, often experiencing unexpected accidents and breakdowns. The psychosocial factors in industry 4.0 and this branch of industry itself are – according to the authors – verified empirically quite poorly. Taking care of safety at work and strengthening a positive attitude towards safety seems to be a key aspect of management in such units.Material and MethodsThe Polish Questionnaire of Attitude towards Safety by M. Znajmiecka-Sikora, the Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale and the Plopa and Makarowski Stress Feeling Questionnaire were used in the research.ResultsThe statistical analyses carried out, including regression analyses and a model of analysis of mediation between variables, have indicated that this sense of effectiveness is a key positive predictor of every aspect related to strengthening attitudes towards safety (a cognitive aspect [β = 0.21, p < 0.001], an affective aspect [β = 0.15, p = 0.001] and a behavioral aspect [β = 0.15, p = 0.002]), as well as the overall level of attitude towards safety (β = 0.19, p < 0.001).ConclusionsThe sense of effectiveness is an important mediator between the level of perceived stress and attitudes towards safety, which means that as the subjectively perceived sense of self-efficacy increases, the level of experienced stress decreases and thus the positive attitude towards safe actions and behaviors in the workplace is strengthened.

W artykule autorki opisały postawy wobec bezpieczeństwa w kontekście postrzeganego dystansu wobec zagrożenia, wykorzystując narzędzie Kwestionariusz Postaw wobec Bezpieczeństwa. Składa się ono z 18 stwierdzeń obejmujących trzy aspekty postawy: poznawczy, afektywny i behawioralny. W badaniu o charakterze kwestionariuszowym uczestniczyło 597 pracowników z dwóch przedsiębiorstw: n = 349 przedsiębiorstwa produkcyjnego z branży telekomunikacyjnej oraz = 248 portu lotniczego. Uzyskane wyniki badań wyraźnie wskazują na kluczowe znaczenie dystansu jako zmiennej, którą należy brać pod uwagę w ocenie postaw wobec bezpieczeństwa. To również kierunek kolejnych analiz i konieczność dalszych eksploracji

The article authors describe attitudes towards safety in the context of the perceived distance to the threat. As a tool they used a questionnaire examining attitudes towards safety. The questionnaire consists of eighteen statements covering three attitude aspects: cognitive, affective, and behavioral. A total of 597 employees from two companies participated in the questionnaire survey: n = 349 from a manufacturing company in telecommunications and n = 248 from an airport. The research results received clearly indicate the key importance of distance as a variable that should be taken into account in assessing attitudes towards safety. It is also a direction for further analyses that needs further exploration.

Kształtowanie pożądanej kultury bezpieczeństwa i higieny pracy wymaga stałej koncentracji nie tylko na środowisku fizycznym pracy, ale również zachowaniach pracowników czy na indywidualnych cechach pracowników. Wybiórcze stosowanie tylko jednego rodzaju działań nie prowadzi do zadowalających wyników. Kształtowanie kultury bezpieczeństwa jest procesem ciągłym i wielowymiarowym.

Shaping the desired culture of health and safety at work requires constant focus not only on the physical environment of work, but also on the behavior of employees or on the individual characteristics of employees. The selective use of only one type of action does not lead to satisfactory results. Shaping a culture of safety is a continuous and multidimensional process.
