Something to think about – motivations, attitudes, perceptions and skills in work health and safety

This literature review by Dr Liz Bluff from the Australian National University and published by Safe Work Australia examines 4 key socio-psychological factors – motivations, attitudes, perceptions and skills.

The review explains each factor and discusses relevant literature about how it can influence on organisations’ and individuals’ willingness and capacity to address work health and safety issues.

The review draws on research from a range of disciplines, including psychology, sociology, anthropology, education and regulation.
