Associations between safety culture and employee engagement over time: a retrospective analysis.

Daugherty Biddison EL, Paine L, Murakami P, Herzke C, Weaver SJ. BMJ Qual Saf. 2015 Jun 3; [Epub ahead of print].

This secondary analysis examined the relationship between safety culture and employee engagement. Higher levels of engagement (defined as a positive work-related mindset including dedication and absorption in one's work) was correlated with higher scores on the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire, suggesting that quality improvement work should consider these aspects of workplace culture.
