Investigating the Impact of Self Efficacy and Actively Caring on Safely Behaviour : A Study Among Medical Laboratory Technologist
description The main purpose of this study is to examine and gain a better understanding of the relationships between self efficacy and actively caring on safety behaviour. A cross sectional study was carried out among 145 medical laboratory technologists. Data which was gathered through a questionnaire survey which was analyzed using the statistical package for social science (SPSS) software 17.0. The research objectives were answered using the relevant statistical analyses. The results indicated that there is a positive relationship between self efficacy and actively caring on safety behaviour. This study also provided information considered useful for framing future research on safety intervention programmes that focuses on characteristics of individuals. New directions for future theoretical framework development and research are suggested for future research to be more complete and comprehensive.
