Abstract

The mining industry is one of the sectors with the highest level of occupational safety risk. The high potential for work accidents causes occupational safety and health to become a priority strategy in company management. This study aims to analyze the role of organizational and individual factors in explaining Safety Citizenship Behavior among employees in the nickel mining industry by integrating Perceived Leadership Support, Emotional Intelligence, and Safety Satisfaction on Safety Citizenship Behavior into the research model. This study uses a quantitative method. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to employees of PT. ABC, a nickel mining company in Southeast Sulawesi. The questionnaire consists of a measurement scale that has been validated and adapted from previous studies. The collected data will be analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with Smart PLS 3 to assess the measurement model and test the proposed structural relationships between constructs. The results show that perception, perceived leadership support, emotional intelligence, and safety satisfaction have a positive influence on safety citizenship behavior. Emotional intelligence moderates the relationship between perception, perceived leadership support and safety citizenship behavior.
