Abstract:

When examining the relevant literature, it is seemed that the cultural dimension of occupational safety issues is usually neglected. It is observed that the existing problems related to occupational safety are usually tried to be solved by legal measures in the form of compensating the damage caused and the suffering. However, occupational safety is mainly a cultural problem which is in relations with the social culture. Organizational culture is a part of the social culture, and occupational safety culture is a part of the organizational culture. Therefore, the impact of social culture on occupational safety culture is quite dominant. This study analyzes the impact of social culture on occupational safety culture in Turkey. In accordance with this purpose; occupational safety culture in Turkey is analyzed with the aspects of Hofstede’s cultural dimensions theory, fatalism and external control belief, “nothing will happen to us, we will sail through” belief, overconfidence and fear culture. The results showed that the social culture generally affects occupational safety culture negatively in Turkey. In accordance with this result, some suggestions are proposed for the process of occupational safety culture creation.
