| Abstract | The Confirmatory Factor Analysis of Safety Culture in the Discrete Manufacturing Industry for Thailand is important for developing standards to assess safety culture. This study explores the confirmatory factor analysis of safety culture within Thailand's discrete manufacturing sector, utilizing structural equation modeling to assess six key elements of safety culture. It innovatively validates various sub-elements, offering critical insights for enhancing safety standards. This research aimed to analyze the confirmatory factor analysis of safety culture in discrete manufacturing industry for Thailand. The research method involved Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) with a sample of observations. By examining the consistency of the six elements and indicators, along with their respective factor loading, the process initiates with the specification of model-specific data. This was accomplished through a confirmatory measurement model, starting with the assignment of data to the model based on the confirmatory ranking of the first and second orders, sequentially, considering chi-square (χ²), relative chi-square (χ²/df), CFI, TLI, RMSEA, and SRMR. These indices were used to evaluate the adequacy of the measurement model. The study identified six core elements of safety culture, each with specific sub-elements and observed variables meeting established criteria: Input, encompassing Man, Method, Material, and Machine; Processing, including Workforce and Work Systems; Output, with Accident Rate and Enterprise Damage; Working Environment, comprising Climate, Facilities, and Cultural Differences; Ergonomics, involving Job and Personal Characteristics; and Safety Experience, consisting of Duration, Involvement, Training, and Leadership. This structure offers a comprehensive framework for understanding and enhancing safety culture in the workplace. The research offers an in-depth analysis of safety culture in Thailand's discrete manufacturing sector, utilizing Confirmatory Factor Analysis to delineate various elements and sub-elements. This study significantly advances the understanding and assessment of safety culture, underlining the crucial role such evaluations play in enhancing workplace safety across the manufacturing industry. |
