Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the debate around the relationship between organizational climate and the safety climate has become increasingly heated. From an organizational perspective, organizational climate has been defined as the employees’ shared perceptions of and the meaning attached to the policies, practices, and procedures experienced within an organization.
Safety climate, instead, has been defined as a “particular type of organizational climate that could differentiate between low and high accident rate companies”.
Following the most recent research, safety climate is now considered a subtype of organizational climate; in more detail, literature has now focused on the idea that organizations have several climates.
In view of this, this Special Issue invites the submission of high-quality conceptual and empirical papers from different perspectives on research and interventions in organizational and safety climate.
