Abstract

Objective: The present study aims to investigate the relationship between the level of safety culture maturity, socio-demographic characteristics and occupational information with mental health among automotive workers. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted among automotive workers. A Safety Culture Assessment Tools (SASTO) questionnaire was used to measure the safety culture maturity level while Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS)-21 was used to measure the level of depression, anxiety, and stress. Convenience sampling method was used to distribute the questionnaires to 18 automotive industry companies in Malaysia. 224 completed questionnaires were analyzed in the current study. Data was analysed by using SPSS software. Result: The result showed that on average the companies have a moderate level of safety culture which indicates Calculative Level. Most of the respondents have normal depression (45.5%) and normal anxiety (49.6%). Meanwhile, most of the respondents recorded moderate anxiety (36.6%). None of the socio-demographic and occupation information parameters was statistically significantly associated with depression and stress. There were significant associations between age, position at work, working experience and anxiety. The safety culture has a poor relationship with anxiety and stress and a moderate relationship with depression.
