Abstract


Introduction: The construction sector's pivotal role in national development hinges on mitigating workplace accidents, which significantly impact productivity and project outcomes. With 32% of Indonesia's workplace accidents linked to construction incidents, maintaining high worker motivation is crucial amidst the industry's inherent complexities and uncertainties. Implementing effective safety incentive programs can bolster employee participation and compliance with safety protocols, essential for fostering a safe and productive work environment at PT X Surakarta. This study aims to investigate how safety incentive program affect safety motivation on construction worker.

Methodes: This study utilizes a quantitative approach with a Pre-Experimental One-Group Pretest-Posttest design. Non-probability sampling used with a total sampling technique with 45 field workers at PT X Surakarta. Rewards on the safety incentive program are given to employees who actively contribute to meeting established criteria. Data were collected using a questionnaire designed to measure safety motivation. Data analysis involved both descriptive and inferential statistics.

Result: Prior to the program, workers exhibited low motivation (mean score of 60.31), attributed to the absence of systematic rewards for safety compliance. Following program implementation, safety motivation significantly increased to a high level (mean score of 96.95), reflecting an average improvement of 36.64 points. Statistic evidence by a Simple Paired T-Test yielding a p-value < 0.001, indicating substantial improvement from pre- to post-program phases. These findings underscore the efficacy of structured safety incentive programs in enhancing construction workers' motivation towards safety practices.

Conclusion: Safety incentive program showed a significant impact on safety motivation on construction worker.
