The relationship between construction worker safety awareness and personality.
von Bernuth, Suzann S.

The relationship between construction worker safety awareness and personality. - 152 p.

Adviser: Tariq S. Abdelhamid.

Thesis (M.S.)--Michigan State University, 2006.

Despite the industry's best efforts to minimize risks, hazards, injuries and fatalities in construction, it remains a hazardous occupation. Research into accident causation has been performed and is ongoing, and new ideas surface everyday. This thesis is a foray toward the integration of psychology into the predominantly engineering field of construction by investigating the relationship between construction worker personality and hazard perception. Thirty ironworkers were surveyed and data pertaining to their sensitivity to hypothetical hazards, their strategy (risk response criterion) in reacting to those hazards and their personality were measured. Signal Detection Theory was utilized to determine sensitivity and response bias (strategy), and the Five Factor Model was used to evaluate personality. Twenty-six out of thirty workers surveyed had a conservative strategy. Multiple regressions performed on all variables relating to sensitivity (d') resulted in an R2 = .34 and p = .06 for experience, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness and Emotional Stability, taken together, and concerning strategy (beta) were R2 = .37 and p = .017, for age, accidents, Agreeableness, and Emotional Stability, taken together. The workers in this study who scored in the low range on the Five Factors were found to have lower than average sensitivity, and tended to have more conservative strategies. The null hypothesis (there is no relationship) was rejected for both d' and beta.
