A Case Study of an Indonesian Mature Offshore Oil and Gas Company" International Research Journal of Economics and Management Studies, Vol. 3, No. 6, pp. 142-153, 2024.

Abstract:

The factors that contribute to achieving a generative safety culture in mature offshore oil and gas companies, with a specific focus on an Indonesian mature offshore oil and gas company, are examined in this study. It investigates the impact of management commitment, safety leadership, personal attitude, communication, competency, and workplace conditions on safety compliance, safety participation, and overall safety culture performance. Through a mixed-method approach combining semi-structured interviews with safety experts and management and structured surveys of employees, the study proposes and tests a mediation model to clarify these relationships. The importance of these factors in enhancing safety behavior compliance and participation is highlighted by the findings, with new insights and strategies for safety management in the mature offshore oil and gas industry being offered.
