ABSTRACT
Any organization anticipates employee well-being initiatives and safety measures. Health advocates and government welfare programs also symbolize the inherent aspects of human existence, particularly in the context of employees. This encompasses the preferred approach to ensuring an individual's overall survival, encompassing their emotional, physical, ethical, and cognitive well-being. This research paper delves into the complex field of management of human resources (HRM), emphasizing its pivotal role in the recruitment, development, utilization, and compensation of employees while ensuring workplace safety. HRM's significance extends beyond organizational benefit; it encompasses safeguarding employees' health, safety, and overall well-being. This research employed an exploratory approach and a carefully selected sample from transport depots. The data collection process involved distributing and collecting questionnaires during various times of the day, focusing on factors such as Construction Orientation, Communication of Safety, Amount of Security Measures, and Safety Education. The results of this study, analyzed using structural equation modeling, indicate that Safety Education significantly influences the Amount of Security Measures, while Communication of Safety and Construction Orientation do not exert a significant effect on the same construct. Key findings include the importance of safety education in promoting security measures, shedding light on areas where organizations can improve and optimize their safety practices for the betterment of both employees and the organization as a whole.
Keywords: Safety, Security, Welfare Measures, Exploratory Factor Analysis, Confirmatory Factor Analysis.
