A multivariate approach towards the measurement of active employee participation in the area of occupational health and safety in different sectors of the economy

Research background: Despite a dynamically growing exploration of broadly understood employee participation, there is still space left for more in-depth or new analyses in this area, and occupational health safety (OHS) serves as good example respect. In empirical studies, participation the field not treated separate element ensuring organisation, but only minor management, just one elements building culture. Purpose article: The aim paper to propose synthetic measure active OHS taking into account depth scope participation. A comparative analysis level at medical facilities other sectors economy was also performed. Methods: theoretical model tested by means survey using PAPI (Paper & Pen Personal Interview) method. Exploratory factor (EFA) confirmatory (CFA) were used. developed construct (characterised an adequately high validity reliability) used institutions with use Mann?Whitney U test. Findings value added: This research fills gap approach OHS. It has been found (EFA CFA analyses) that consists dimension (15 items). universal measurement scale validated study represent step forward towards effective reliable addition, shown lower than economy. added results from measuring which takes tool consistent international regulations standards OHS, thus can be countries assess regardless size profile company sector
