This study empirically examines the influence of subjective well-being on the safety behavior of construction workers. Based on the fundamental relationships among subjective well-being, safety awareness, safety risk perception, work stress, and safety behavior, a theoretical model is constructed. Empirical analysis is conducted using SPSS and AMOS software on 436 valid samples. The results indicate that subjective well-being has a positive impact on the safety behavior of construction workers. Additionally, safety awareness significantly enhances the ability of construction workers to perceive safety risks. Both safety awareness and safety risk perception serve as significant mediators between subjective well-being and safety behavior. Furthermore, work stress negatively moderates the relationship between subjective well-being and safety behavior.
Keywords: subjective well-being (SWB), Safety awareness, Safety risk perception, work stress, safety behavior
