Measuring Safety Behavior?
Yes, You Can Do It With Confident
Validated Safety Behavior Model
Methodology
Approximately 500 employees were selected in various SME settings in the East Coast Peninsular of Malaysia.
The covariance-based analysis using confirmatory factor analysis of measurement models was conducted using IBM SPSS AMOS software version 22. For data analysis, the covariance- based analysis using CFA
emphasized measurement model procedures, which comprises a validity, reliability, and normality test.
Objective
A growing body of literature recognizes the importance of safety behavior, which is also called behavior-
based safety
associated with accident prevention.
This study aims to assess the validity of the extension model of safety behavior developed by Zohar et al. (2014), using the systematic covariance-based psychometric
properties of confirmatory factor analysis in Malaysian SMEs.

Another concern is the method used to assess the measurement model. The phrase measurement model refers to covariance analysis or structural equation modeling, broadly covered by an ever-increasing group of statistical, mathematical, and graphical (Hair, Babin,
& Krey, 2017).
Safety behavior measurement tool for Malaysian SMEs developed and validated based on maximum likelihood estimation power.
The validated safety behavior measurement model can further be used as an alternative evaluative measure to assess employee safety behavior in SMEs.
Systematic covariance based psychometric properties of confirmatory factor analysis consist of three types of validity, namely: construct validity (based on fitness indexes), convergent validity, and discriminant validity of multi-trait-multi-method (MTMM) data, which has been proposed by Campbell and Fiske (1959) and is also highlighted by Ziegler and Hagemann (2015).
