dc.description.abstractThe objective of this study is to discuss safety and health management practices (six dimensions are elaborated) theoretically and empirically test the relationship of safety objectives with performance outcomes through employee engagement. Although the readymade garments industry is one of the dominant sectors in Bangladesh, it is also considered one of the most hazardous industries. Having an effective occupational health and safety (OHS) management system is very crucial to safeguard employees and the industry more broadly. This study gathers the data from 351 garments employees through a standardized questionnaire to evaluate the link between different safety practices and employee job performances. The analysis in this paper shows a positive correlation between occupational health and safety systems and employee engagement and job performances. Moreover, this study shows that, among the six dimensions of an OHS system, management commitment towards safety is one of the stronger predictors for both employee engagement and job performances. It is also found that employee engagement has a mediating role on job performance. This study concludes that employee job performances are highly influenced by the OHS system. Particularly, management commitment is to ensure the effective development of safety process and procedures at the workplace.
