건설업 중대재해처벌법 인식이 제도 수용성과 안전관리 행동에 미치는 영향 = Effects of perceptions of the serious accidents punishment act on institutional acceptance and safety management behavior in the construction industry
This study examines how construction practitioners perceive the Serious Accidents Punishment Act (SAPA) and how these perceptions influence safety management behavior and institutional acceptance. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 215 safety-related personnel from general and specialized contractors. Perceptions were modeled in three domains: legal and responsibility structure, awareness of institutional enhancement options, and outcomes in safety practice and institutional acceptance. Statistical analyses, including t-tests and multiple regression, were used to compare groups and identify key determinants. Results show significant differences between general and specialized contractors in most perception and outcome variables. Legal responsibility awareness consistently increases safety practice, responsibility acceptance, and demand for institutional improvement. Perceptions of structural imbalance exert mixed effects, simultaneously lowering institutional trust while reinforcing responsibility acceptance and calls for improvement. Awareness of enhancement measures—subcontractor safety competence certification, strengthened client responsibility, joint safety funds, and ESG-linked safety management—strongly predicts both demand for institutional reform and willingness to accept new measures. These findings provide empirical evidence for differentiated policy design that reflects the positions of general and specialized contractors, and suggest that combining clearer responsibility communication with credible institutional enhancement options is critical for improving the effectiveness of SAPA in the construction sector.
