Highlights ► The job demands–resource framework was used to explain a dual psychological process in occupational safety. ► Structural equation modeling was conducted to examine the proposed hypotheses. ► Emotional exhaustion and safety compliance mediated the relationship between job resources and safety outcomes. ► Emotional exhaustion mediates the relationship between job demands and safety outcomes.

    Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of the job demands–resources (JD–R) model in explaining the relationship of job demands and resources with safety outcomes (i.e., workplace injuries and near-misses). We collected self-reported data from 670 crude oil production workers from three sub-companies of a major oilfield company in China. The results of a structural equation analysis indicated that job demands (psychological and physical demands) and job resources (decision latitude, supervisor support and coworker support) could affect emotional exhaustion and safety compliance, and thus influence the occurrence of injuries and near-misses. The implications of the present findings regarding both the JD–R model and occupational safety research were discussed.
