To maintain workplace safety, it is important to improve employees’ safety behavior at work. However, the depletion of limited self-control resources may result in a lack of self-control capacity, thus inducing workplace unsafety behavior. Based on Ego Depletion Model, the purpose of the current studies were to explore the resources of ego depletion in high risk industries, the negative effect of ego depletion on safety behavior, and the countermeasures of ego depletion. Specifically, the current studies will explore the ways in which self-controls job demands and abusive supervision negatively influence employees’ safety behavior through depleting their limited self-control resources, respectively; and the two possible countermeasures that may overcome the negative effect of depletion resources on ego depletion and that of ego depletion on safety behaviors, by examining the moderating effect of trait self-control ability and automatic approach behavioral tendency twards safety, respectively. In addition, the current research use heart rate variability (HRV) as the implicit biological index of self-control ability and ego depletion, and explore the changes of HRV during self-control depletion process. Flied study, experimental study as well as implicit biological measures will be used to study on the research questions above. The results can help to understand why unsafety behavior occur at workplace through a limited self-control recourse perspective, and providing insight on novel safety behavior improve intervention programs focused on self-control and automatic behavioral tendency training.
