Abstract

Background: In physically demanding and high-risk job settings, when employees experience a sense of empowerment and identification with their organizations along with supervisory support, they tend to exhibit a more favorable work attitude. Objective: The primary focus of this study was to examine how perceived supervisory safety practices can moderate the relationship between organizational attitudes and safety performance among doctors. Subjects and Method: It was a cross sectional study, where already established questionnaires were used to measure study variables. The data is collected from doctors (N=375) of Government Hospitals in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. The age range of the doctors was 22-67 (M=28.95; SD= 8.08). 50.67 % of the sample were male doctors (n=190) whereas 49.33% were female doctors (n= 185). The data was analyzed in IBM SPSS-26. Results: The data fulfilled the assumptions of normal distribution and showed at p <.01 that there is high positive correlation among all the sub scales of psychological empowerment, organizational identification, safety performance, and perceived supervisory safety practices. It further showed that supervisory safety practices exacerbated the relationship between organizational attitudes and safety performance at p <.05. Conclusion: Through this investigation, the research aimed to provide valuable insights into how the quality of supervisory safety practices can influence the attitudes and performance of doctors, thereby promoting workplace safety and employee wellbeing. The significance, limitations and suggestions are also mentioned for the future researchers.
