수영장의 물리적 환경이 안전문화, 안전행동에 미치는 영향 = The Effects of the Physical Environment of Swimming Pools on Employees’ Safety Behavior: The Mediating Role of Safety Culture

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between the physical environment of swimming pools, employees’ safety culture, and safety behavior. Participants were 210 employees from 110 swimming pools nationwide. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 and SmartPLS 4.0, employing frequency analysis, reliability and validity analyses, and PLS-SEM. The physical environment was positively associated with safety culture and safety behavior. Safety culture was also positively associated with safety behavior and mediated the relationship between the physical environment and safety behavior. The physical environment of swimming pools was identified as an important factor influencing employees’ safety culture and safety behavior, and safety culture was found to function as a key mediating variable that promotes safety behavior. These findings suggest that swimming pool safety management should move beyond a facility-centered approach and shift toward an integrated strategy that simultaneously considers physical environment management and the development of employees’ safety culture.
