Review of Construction Safety Studies from a Behavioral Perspective: New Evidence from Mapping Knowledge Domains

Yuan Fu, Gui Ye, Xiaoyu Tang, and Lijuan Yang

Abstract— Both practice and research have manifested that studying construction safety from the perspective of human behavior is the main direction to effectively prevent accidents. Scholars have carried out a series of studies on this subject. HistCite and CiteSpace two knowledge map analysis tools were used to visually and quantitatively analyze 256 articles in the field based on WOS. The results demonstrate that key journals are classified into safety science and building science. Key authors concentrate on universities, with Tsinghua university as the core, forming a relatively close network of institutional cooperation. The USA, China and Australia have made great contributions. Furthermore, the review indicated that hotspots focus on six topics: safety climate and culture, safety performance, safety risk perception etc. The development trend includes four stages: 1) relationship between safety climate and safety performance; 2) effect of organizational safety culture on behavior; 3) influence of safety cognition and occupational risk assessment on construction safety; 4) and application of computer technology. Future research may further explore construction safety behavior under interaction of individual, group and environment, and consider the influence of informal groups. Meanwhile, research methods of simulation and experiment and the application of intelligent technology in construction safety deserve attention.

Index Terms— CiteSpace, construction industry, HistCite, mapping knowledge domains, safety behavior.
