This study aims to provide a great deal of insight into how risk perception and purchase intention differ for the consumer with different online shopping motives. Data were collected through a questionnaire with 359 voluntary consumers aged 18-28 living in Istanbul. 14 motives leading them to online shopping through digital platforms for textile products were defined with the Focus group technique. First, clustering analysis was conducted to define consumers according to the guiding motives in online shopping. Next, whether the consumer segments identified by these motives have different levels of risk perception and purchase intention was investigated via ANOVA analysis.

In recent years, smog has become one of the most disastrous weather events in China, hurting daily life and seriously affecting public health. To explore the school sports participants in a smog environment based on risk cognition and communication. This study used literature, questionnaire, and other research methods to deeply understand the current situation of school physical education in the haze weather environment. The spatial autocorrelation index tested the spatial agglomeration characteristics of smog pollution. As was evidenced, sports in a smog environment can cause physical discomfort and mild psychological stress. The significant difference in maximal oxygen uptake was p < 0.01. The level of students’ perception of smog positively correlates with students’ active of physical exercise, and it has a significant predictive effect. The explanatory power of smog perception level to resisting coping behaviour is 49.5 % (R2 = 0.495, P < 0.001). Under the influence of smog, participants in school sports activities showed high smog risk cognition and weak coping behaviour, and schools showed low smog risk communication. Experience and policy supervision explain 50.1 % of the information on risk communication influencing factors, with high explanatory power. One can conclude that outdoor teaching and practice in physical education classes should be carried out because the outdoor air does not influence the human body to enhance physical fitness and health.

Current disaster risk reduction approach does not reflect the societal dimension of factors that shape risk and safety. The research objective is to elaborate a model of DRR in its societal dimension, respecting not only an engineering component of disaster risk, but also how people perceive it. The methodology bases on literature review and a deductive investigation for ideas and assumptions verification. As a first result, safety structure was presented. At the highest level of generality, it consists in real safety and safety sense. The second one is a derivative of four components: sense of being informed, sense of perpetration, sense of confidence and sense of anchoring. In analogy to safety, risk could be characterized by an engineering component and risk perception. Perception is structured with direct connection to safety sense. Morphological connection of risk structure, disaster risk reduction structure and two signs of risk (positives and negatives) allows to elaborate the model, which could prove to be a valuable tool in theory and practice of the reduction.

Obecnie przyjęte podejście do redukcji ryzyka katastrof nie odzwierciedla wymiaru społecznego czynników wpływających na ryzyko i bezpieczeństwo. Zamierzeniem przeprowadzonych badań było opracowanie modelu redukcji ryzyka katastrof w wymiarze społecznym, biorąc pod uwagę nie tylko elementy inżynieryjne ryzyka katastrof, lecz również sposób, w jaki jest ono postrzegane przez ludzi. Metodologia obejmowała przegląd literatury oraz badania dedukcyjne ukierunkowane na weryfikowanie koncepcji i założeń. W pierwszym rzędzie zaprezentowano strukturę bezpieczeństwa. Można przyjąć w najogólniejszym zakresie, że obejmuje rzeczywiste bezpieczeństwo i poczucie bezpieczeństwa. Po drugie stanowi pochodną czterech elementów składowych: poczucie poinformowania, poczucie sprawstwa, poczucie pewności oraz poczucie zakotwiczenia. Podobnie do bezpieczeństwa, ryzyko obejmuje element inżynieryjny oraz percepcję ryzyka. Struktura percepcji jest w bezpośredni sposób powiązana z poczuciem bezpieczeństwa. Morfologiczne powiązanie struktury ryzyka, struktury redukcji ryzyka katastrof oraz dwóch oznak ryzyka (pozytywnych i negatywnych) umożliwia opracowanie modelu, który mógłby stać się cennym narzędziem w teorii i praktyce redukcji ryzyka.

During the economic downturn, the cooperative behavior of the supply chain will change due to the increase of risk level. The purpose of this paper is to measure cooperative behavior more effectively. Therefore, a model of supply chain cooperation is constructed from three dimensions: risk perception, inter-organizational trust and decision preference. Taking the processing trade enterprises in Guangdong Province as a sample and using the structural equation model for analysis, the research found that trust and decision preferences significantly impact cooperative behavior, and decision-making preference partially mediates the relationship between inter-organizational trust and cooperative behavior. However, risk perception has no direct impact on cooperation behavior but has an indirect impact through the mediation of inter-organizational trust and decision-making preferences. Interorganizational trust is partially intervened between risk perception and decision preference. Further, the mediating effect of the inter-organizational trust alone is greater than the dual mediating effect of inter-organizational trust and decision preferences.

W okresie spowolnienia gospodarczego zachowanie kooperacyjne łańcucha dostaw ulegnie zmianie ze względu na wzrost poziomu ryzyka. Celem tego artykułu jest skuteczniejszy pomiar zachowań kooperacyjnych. Dlatego model współpracy w łańcuchu dostaw zbudowany jest z trzech wymiarów: percepcji ryzyka, zaufania między organizacjami i preferencji decyzyjnych. Biorąc za próbę przedsiębiorstwa zajmujące się handlem przetwórstwem w prowincji Guangdong i wykorzystując do analizy model równań strukturalnych, badania wykazały, że zaufanie i preferencje decyzyjne mają istotny wpływ na zachowanie kooperacyjne, a preferencje decyzyjne częściowo pośredniczą w związku między zaufanie i współpraca. Jednak postrzeganie ryzyka nie ma bezpośredniego wpływu na zachowanie w zakresie współpracy, ale pośrednio, poprzez pośrednictwo zaufania między organizacjami i preferencji decyzyjnych. Zaufanie między organizacjami jest częściowo interweniowane między percepcją ryzyka a preferencjami decyzyjnymi. Co więcej, efekt mediacyjny samego zaufania międzyorganizacyjnego jest większy niż podwójny efekt mediacyjny zaufania międzyorganizacyjnego i preferencji decyzyjnych.

Introduction/background: The paper pointed out the main elements of the human risk factor procedures shows the complexity of human risk factor management. Aim of the paper: The aim of this paper is to analyze the human risk factor in open pit mining, especially on compliance with safety rules and regulations. Materials and methods: The presented survey, in the form of a questionnaire, was conducted in an open pit coal mine involving 476 mineworkers. The goals were to determine factors with the biggest influence on risk and to create a model for predicting the behavior of mining workers. Results and conclusions: The obtained results indicate that leadership plays an important role in worker behavior. A supportive leadership style results in more responsible employee behavior and a lower probability of deviation to rules and procedures. The result also indicates that the safe behavior of workers is strongly influenced by the difficult to control factor of "life satisfaction". It has also been found that riskier work and longer work experience increases the likelihood of breaking the rules. Research limitations/implications: The obtained results are partly influenced by national culture. Practical implications: The obtained results indicate the need for continuous improvement in the risk management process and the rules and procedures by applying worker feedback.

In UK’s construction industry, site dumpers cause more serious accidents than in any other type of construction plant. Previous research has indicated that driver behaviour plays a pivotal role in the vast majority of these accidents. Using a mental models-based approach, 20 dumper drivers were interviewed with regard to the process by which several typical types of accident occurred. It was found that drivers were generally well-informed about the hazards of driving dumpers on a construction site. However, the findings also exposed some critical knowledge gaps, which could increase a driver’s chances of an accident. Educational material relating to these knowledge deficiencies could easily be prepared and incorporated into revised construction information leaflets or driver training courses.

Biogeochemical effects to Polish terrestrial ecosystems resulting from atmospheric nitrogen deposition were forecasted until the target year 2020. To this end recently updated critical loads of nutrient nitrogen were applied and the nitrogen deposition projections for the sequence of decades from 1980 until the target year 2020, based on the Current Legislation (CLE) and Maximum Feasible Reductions (MFR) emission scenarios. The predictions were done by use of the Very Simple Dynamic (VSD) Model developed within the Working Group on Effects of the UN ECE Convention on the Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution CLRTAP. The calculations were done for three main forest ecosystems and three selected semi-natural ecosystems encompassing the whole territory of Poland with the spatial resolution defined by a grid cell of 1*1 km size. The study concluded with maps of CLnut(N) exceedances and expected nitrogen concentrations in soil as chemical criterion, assigned to different eutrophication risk categories for each deposition scenario. The obtained results show that in spite of the realistic (CLE scenario) and extreme (MFR) nitrogen emission reductions until 2020, more than 99% and 80% of total area of terrestrial ecosystems of Poland, respectively, willbe exposed to excessive nitrogen deposition. Results of this study as well as studies done on the European scale reveal that the nitrogen emission reductions determined by the Gothenburg Protocol are still insufficient and may lead to negative ecological effects including loss of ecosystems biodiversity. This substantiates a demanding need for the revision of the CLRTAP Gothenburg Protocol.

At industrial sites, there are often problems of misperceptions of the risks by the local community and it is essential to make visible both hazards and safety activities to all stakeholders (employees, citizens, authorities). A software prototype has been developed in order to demonstrate the feasibility of a system for the presentation of safety activities within an industrial park. By means of a browser all safety activities are visible for the user. Both the activities undertaken by employers and those performed by the regulatory bodies may be monitored. At any time, the actual safety level may be demonstrated to any stakeholder. A correct perception of risks will be supported by this commitment to transparency.

W zakładach przemysłowych występuje często problem fałszywego postrzegania zagrożeń przez lokalne społeczności. Unaocznienie zarówno zagrożeń, ryzyka jak i działań w zakresie bezpieczeństwa, wszystkim zainteresowanym (pracodawcom, obywatelom i władzom), jest sprawą zasadniczą. Opracowano prototyp oprogramowania w celu zademonstrowania wykonalności systemu do prezentacji działań na rzecz bezpieczeństwa w parku przemysłowym. Za pomocą wyszukiwarki użytkownik może podglądać wszystkie działania w tym zakresie. Monitorować można zarówno działania podejmowane przez pracodawców jak i przez organa administracyjne. W każdej chwili każdemu udziałowcowi można przedstawić aktualny poziom bezpieczeństwa. To działanie na rzecz przejrzystości przyczyni się do prawidłowego postrzegania zagrożeń i ryzyka.

In the UK construction site dumpers cause more serious accidents than any other type of construction plant. Previous research has indicated that driver behavior plays a pivotal role in the vast majority of these accidents. This study used a paired comparison technique to explore dumper drivers’ and subject matter experts’ (SMEs’) risk perception and its relationship to risk-taking behavior. It was found that driver risk perception significantly differed from measures of “objective risk”, derived from accident data and also from SMEs’ risk perception. Furthermore, drivers still engaged in undertaking perceived high risk behaviors. The results suggest that driver risk perception was linked to the “perceived dread” of an accident, rather than its likelihood and that risk-taking behavior was often driven by situational factors, such as site safety rules or the behavior of other personnel on the site, together with an overarching culture that prioritizes production over safety.

This paper aims to help enhance the process of risk identification and assessment in small enterprises by facilitating the incorporation of insights from accident, human error and risk perception models. This effort takes place through grouping and classification models of all these aspects according to certain criteria, to fit the proper set of models to each situation. To further facilitate the process, the main guidelines of each model are presented. The whole approach is not a new theoretical model but a simplified presentation to help safety engineers in selecting the proper model for the workplace to better assess its risks. An example of the application of this approach is also presented.

The paper discusses the relationships between subjective risk perception and individuals' adaptation to high risk working conditions. It is based on a study carried out among personnel on offshore service vessels in the North Sea and Norvegian fishermen. Risk perception, fatality rate and the discrepancy between subjective risk perception and formal risk levels is further on compared. The results of these comparisons are discussed by using the concept of organizational culture, and indicate that there is not necessarily a correlation between objective risk and subjective perception. In fact, subjective risk perception may be seen as a reflection of interactional conventions developed among emploees dealing with their working conditions.

W artykule rozpatrywany jest związek pomiędzy subiektywną percepcją ryzyka a zdolnością jednostki do adaptacji do pracy w warunkach wysokiego ryzyka. Rozważania oparto na badaniach przeprowadzonych wśród załóg statków żeglugi przybrzeżnej na Morzu Północnym i wśród norweskich rybaków. Porównuje się percepcję ryzyka, częstość wypadków śmiertelnych, rozbieżność pomiędzy indywidualnym postrzeganiem ryzyka oraz oficjalnymi poziomami ryzyka. Wyniki tych porównań zostały przedyskutowane w oparciu o koncepcję kultury organizacyjnej wskazując, że niekoniecznie musi istnieć korelacja pomiędzy obiektywnym poziomem ryzyka a subiektywnym jego postrzeganiem. W rzeczywistości subiektywna percepcja ryzyka może być postrzegana jako odzwierciedlenie stosunków pomiędzy pracownikami zmagającymi się z ich warunkami pracy.
