| dc.description.abstract | Construction industry is the most dangerous industry globally, and in view of the fact, many research efforts have been made to promote occupational safety in the construction industry. One of the efforts is to analyze the unsafe behavior of construction workers and its research results indicate that making construction workers perform safe behavior can prevent occupational hazards. However, existing studies still have three limitations. First, past research depicted that cognitive factors are important roles for safe behavior, but rare research focused on the attention factor among them. Second, it is still unclear how construction workers’ attention is associated with unsafe behavior. Last, construction activities are complicated and involve numerous work items, making construction have characteristics such as long working hours and heavy physical loading; however, no research studied the association between construction workers’ burnout and attention. Therefore, this research applies attention network model to study the correlations between burnout and attention and between attention and safe behavior. The research result shows that personal burnout and attention of orientation are significantly correlated and so is work-related burnout and attention of executive control; however, there is no significant correlations between attention and safety behavior. In addition, the result indicates when construction personnel’s burnout level gets higher, their ability of shifting attention and staying focus gets worse. The findings of the research can be reference for the government to adjust current construction safety management practices and to conduct further research in the future. | en_US |
