%X Background: Job demands, or time-based restraints perceived by employees, can have a direct impact on an employee¡¯s level of safety citizenship and safety compliance. However, job control, or the perceived autonomy over the timing and methods of an employee¡¯s work, can help employees manage&nbsp;</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">those job demands</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">.</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">&nbsp;Objective:&nbsp;</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">To&nbsp;</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">asses</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">s</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">&nbsp;the relationship between self-reported</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">&nbsp;</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">job control and self-reported safety citizenship. Method: A 34-item survey was</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">&nbsp;</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">used in a cross-sectional study to assess the relationship between self-reported job control scores (JCS) and self-reported safety citizenship (SCS) among employees working at a construction company and distillery/bottling facility in the Midwestern region of the United States. Descriptive statistics (means and frequencies) and an ANCOVA (analysis of covariance) were performed on a saturated model. Results: The study had a 77% response rate. Results indicate a statistically significant association between JCS and SC exists when controlling for job position and sex [F (6, 145) = 40.03, p &lt; 0.00001, adjusted R-square = 0.61]. Conclusion: Employees with low job control have lower levels of self-reported safety citizenship.
