Influences of Cognitive Structure Variables on Miners’ Unsafe Behavior Intentions

In order to study the influence of cognitive structure variables on miners’ unsafe behavior intentions, using TPB as the basic theoretical framework, a hypothesis model of miners’ unsafe behavior intentions was constructed including three cognitive structure variables of risk perception, behavior experience, and safety awareness. The statistical results of 236 valid questionnaires were used to verify the authenticity of the model; the structural equation model was used to investigate and reveal the influence path of cognitive structure variables on miners’ unsafe behavior intentions. This study shows that risk perception, behavior experience, and safety awareness have a significant positive impact on miners’ unsafe behavior intentions. Behavior intentions have a guiding effect on behavioral outcomes. By adopting interventions, miners can be guided to reduce unsafe behaviors to avoid production safety accidents.
