AWB Trend Data for Psychosocial Safety Climate (PSC) by Australian States
(2009 - 2014)
Note: Weighting data has been applied on this dashboard. QLD and VIC have only data available for 2014.
PSC is a specific aspect of organisational climate, defined as “policies, practices, and procedures for worker psychological health and safety”. PSC is largely determined by management and leadership within organisations. The PSC construct has four main aspects that connect to best practice principles in the stress prevention, intervention, and safety climate literature.

Note: Our weights were developed based on demographic characteristics for the different states, and as such we present weighted data for the interactive dashboards that are broken down by state. Interactive dashboards that can be broken down into other characteristics (e.g., industry, occupation, etc.) are based on non-weighted data, as the state developed weights do not accurately reflect the characteristics of the groups of interest (e.g., the different industries, or the different occupations, etc.).

The above interactive dashboard displays the composition of workers in each of the PSC the risk categories for a variety of demographic measures. The results show the greatest proportion of workers reporting 'Low Risk PSC' are males in the wholesale trade (69.2%) and females in electricity, gas, and water supply (69.2%) industries. The greatest proportion of workers reporting 'Very High Risk PSC' are females in cultural and recreational services (20.0%) followed closely by females in transport and storage (19.5%) industries.

“ In high PSC contexts managers will be cognisant of risk factors and will help to shape jobs where demands are manageable, and resources adequate. Therefore if PSC is assessed, levels of demands and resources can be predicted. ” |
