dc.description.abstractBackground: Healthcare workers and occupational health and safety (OHS) professionals are among the key professions where a strong safety climate is critical. A robust safety climate is theorized to enhance life satisfaction. Both job stress and job satisfaction play influential roles in shaping the effects of safety climate on life satisfaction. This study aims to examine the mediating roles of job stress and job satisfaction in the relationship between safety climate and life satisfaction among healthcare workers and OHS professionals. Methods: The study utilized data from 610 healthcare workers and OHS professionals employed across T & uuml;rkiye. Structural equation modelling analysis was performed to explore the relationship between safety climate and life satisfaction and to assess the mediating effects of job stress and job satisfaction. Results: The findings indicated that job satisfaction serves as a full mediator in the relationship between safety climate and life satisfaction. Conclusion: Given the mediating role of job satisfaction in the link between safety climate and life satisfaction, organizations should prioritize strategies aimed at improving job satisfaction to enhance overall employee well-being.
