Abstract
Objective - Human Resources Management has a significant role in a construction company. Also, a professional or
competitive workforce facilitates a construction project, which has a high level of risk. Therefore, a well-developed
work safety culture is required for risk management. This study determines the factors that influence Safety Culture,
which is limited to leadership, communication, competence, and work environment, as well as their influence on job
satisfaction in the Indonesian construction industry.
Methodology/Technique – A Total of 392 valid respondents out of 400 who answered the questionnaire were
construction workers with one-year experience or more. Furthermore, the data were tested for validity and reliability
using SPSS 25.0, and the hypothesis model was analyzed using the Amos 23.0 Structural Equation Model (SEM).
Finding – Statistical data showed leadership, competence, and the work environment are critical factors that affect
safety culture, while communication does not. Also, work safety culture has a significant effect on job satisfaction level
in the construction industry.
Novelty – Therefore, it is recommended to build a safety culture that pays attention to leadership, competence, as well as
work environment, which have implications for job satisfaction.
