Exploring the Association among Dimensions of Safety Climate and Learning Organization Climate
The development of both a good safety climate and a strong learning climate have been espoused as desirable for construction organizations. However, while safety climate research in construction has seen much attention in recent years, learning climates have been examined mostly in a wider context and relatively rarely within construction. As learning organization initiatives are implemented in construction, it is important to understand how the dimensions of learning organization climate may synergize with dimensions of safety climate. The aim of this study is to explore whether these dimensions are complementary or discordant in a construction context. Using a thematic comparison method, climate dimensions identified in previous literature are compared with themes taken from survey questions used to measure both safety and learning organization climate. The outcomes provide insights gained from the theoretical linkages between the dimensions. These findings can be used both to enable industry to better develop formal processes for organizational learning from safety events and implement general learning organization initiatives into the industry without compromising safety.
