This paper presents a model that quantifies the causal relations among safety variables (latent variables) and workers’ safety behavior (indicator) using statistical data and hypotheses obtained from construction workers and existing literatures, respectively. The safety variables that affect workers’ safety behaviors are identified from existing studies and operationalized to measure their causal relations with the workers’ behaviors. The model identifies the directions and degrees of the effect of every latent variable on the other latent variables and the indicator. Survey questionnaires were administered to construction workers in South Korea. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, Cronbach's α and structural equation modeling were performed to test the causal hypotheses using SPSS 18.0 and AMOS 18.0. This study provides the theoretical model that predicts construction workers’ safety behavior on construction sites using path diagram and analysis.
