Safety culture, moral disengagement, and accident underreporting
Moral disengagement (MD) is the process by which individuals mitigate the consequences of their own violations of moral standards. Although MD is understood to be co-determined by culture norms, no study has yet explored the extent to which MD applied to safety at work (JS-MD) fosters safety violations (e.g. accident underreporting), nor the role of organizational culture as a predictor of JS-MD.
