According to International Labor Organization report, incidents resulting in injury in the workplace have undesirable outcomes on the human, social and economic. Identify the factors contributing to the rate of job incidents, can be useful in preventing them. One of these factors is organizational variables. The aim of this study was to investigate transformational leadership and work-safety tension as predictors of job incident reporting rates is the employees of an industrial company.
In this analytical-cross study, the population is all line employees that work in an industrial company. 265 employees were selected by stratified random sampling method. Participants were measured by using a transformational leadership style scale, perceived work pressure scale and incident reporting rate scales. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis by applying the Spss-19 software, and for validation, the confirmatory factor analysis AMOS-21 software was used.
Findings indicate that correlation coefficients between transformational leadership with incident reporting rate were negative and statistically significant (p The results of this study showed the importance of the transformational leadership and work-safety tension as the predictors of job incident rate. It is recommended that work task placement in high risk operations must be done with such variables.
