PROBLEM Although there has been considerable interest in safety climate, relatively little attention has been given to the factors that determine safety climate or to testing the hypothesized mediating role of safety climate with respect to safety-related outcomes. METHOD Questionnaire responses were obtained from 2,208 employees of a large national retail chain in 21 different locations. R...

background: it is believed that improved safety culture/climate is a fundamental element to accident prevention. therefore, development a scale to assess safety climate is a step towards accident control. the purpose of this study was to construct a persian safety climate questionnaire. methods: the study took place in tehran and esfahan oil refineries in iran in 2010. an initial questionnaire ...

This study aimed to find out how managers and academicians working in the organization perceived their organization and how they responded to the variations arising from climatic changes in the organization. The data were collected from 146 academicians by Kocaeli University Organizational Climate Questionnaire (KUOCQ) measuring five factors“rules and discipline”, “democracy”, “social and cultu...

The role of several important factors that have played a role in Holocene climate change is examined. These forcing factors operate on different time-scales: lower frequency (millennial-scale) climate changes associated with orbital forcing, century-scale variability associated with solar forcing, and annualto decadal-scale variability associated with volcanic forcing. Feedbacks within the clim...

background patient safety is one of the major issues which are concerned with the world health organization (who) and the medical community in developing and developed countries. based on studies, about 10 % of patients admitted in hospitals will be damaged. objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate patient safety climate among nurses and their roles for predicting medical errors. patien...

We consider possible effects of cosmic rays and some other space factors on the Earth’s climate change. It is well known that the system of internal and external factors formatting the climate is very unstable; decreasing planetary temperature leads to an increase of snow surface, and decrease of the total solar energy input into the system decreases the planetary temperature even more, etc. Fr...

This study differentiates the risk perception and influencing factors of climate change along the dimensions of global severity and personal threat. Using the 2013 Taiwan Social Change Survey (TSGS) data (N = 2001) as a representative sample of adults from Taiwan, we investigated the influencing factors of the risk perceptions of climate change in these two dimensions (global severity and perso...
