Abstract:
To identify the key factors and potential moderating variables influencing coal miners’ unsafe behaviors in the intelligent change of China’s coal mines and to explore the reasons for inconsistent research findings, a quantitative literature analysis was conducted using meta-analysis on 24 empirical papers with 71 effect values to identify 12 key influencing factors and to test the moderating effects of four variables: sample size, survey area, type of literature, and year of publication. The results indicated that, in addition to leadership style and management system, insecurity psychology, work engagement, and safety supervision had high effect size, subjective well-being, organizational equity, safety attitudes, mental wandering, affective emotions, and interpersonal relationships had moderate effect size, and safety climate had low effect size. It was also found that using sample size, survey region, year of publication, and type of literature as moderating variables could partially reveal the differences between studies.
