Using a randomization sampling, 168 persons were selected to answer the questionnaires. Three tools (questionnaire) were used for data collection and the reliability and validity of the tools were also tested. The data analysis was done by structural equation model. The findings of the study indicated that moral leadership and psychology safety (standard coefficient 24%, value t=2/65) have a positive and significant relationship with risk management (standard coefficient 41%, value t=4/25). The mediation role of psychology safety between risk management and moral leadership was confirmed as well.
