Business Leaders' signalling prosocial behaviours related to work health and safety: An exploratory study
Conference Contribution ResearchOnline@JCUAbstract
Sustainable, socially responsible business practices are increasingly important for businesses to remain profitable. This increased attention on prosocial behaviours has generally been associated with environmental sustainability and ethical labour practices with little attention directed towards work health and safety (WHS) as a prosocial behaviour, despite safety being a critical element of sustainability. Through analysis of ASX200 company reports, this study sought evidence of WHS as a prosocial behaviour for WHS commitment, and to identify internal and external drivers of such commitments. The study found that despite some evidence of leaders signalling WHS as a priority in company reports (the ‘talk’), there exists relatively little evidence (the ‘walk’) about the commercial drivers and prosocial behaviours related to WHS commitment.
