Abstract
Introduction and aim: From a sustainable supply chain standpoint, concern for
workers' safety on the job is essential. Driving safety is vital since accidents in the trucking industry often result in the deaths of both truck drivers and other road users. We found a potential correlation between nicotine usage and driving safety risk in the literature. Sleep quality also appears to play a mediating role. Combining the
exploratory research with a deductive approach to investigate the possible
consequences of nicotine intake, which might improve the supply chain's
sustainability, was very encouraging.
H1: There is a positive relationship between nicotine consumption and driving safety
risks.
H2: The impact of nicotine consumption... (More)
Introduction and aim: From a sustainable supply chain standpoint, concern for
workers' safety on the job is essential. Driving safety is vital since accidents in the trucking industry often result in the deaths of both truck drivers and other road users. We found a potential correlation between nicotine usage and driving safety risk in the literature. Sleep quality also appears to play a mediating role. Combining the
exploratory research with a deductive approach to investigate the possible
consequences of nicotine intake, which might improve the supply chain's
sustainability, was very encouraging.
H1: There is a positive relationship between nicotine consumption and driving safety
risks.
H2: The impact of nicotine consumption on driving safety risks is mediated by sleep
quality.
Methodology: We used the Dula Dangerous Driving Index and the Pittsburgh Sleep
Quality Index to form our questionnaire, collected the questionnaire in both online and offline ways, and finally got 96 valid responses. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 28.0 software and the PROCESS macro extension.
Results: The data analysis results confirmed our hypothesis that there is a positive
relationship between nicotine consumption and driving safety risks. However, the
impact of nicotine consumption on driving safety risks is not mediated by sleep quality.
Among the three sub-dimensions of driving safety risk, aggressive driving and risky
driving/drunk driving played an essential role in this study.
Contribution: This paper links nicotine consumption with the driving safety risk of
truck drivers and tries to introduce sleep quality as a mediating variable, providing a new perspective to understand the mechanism of nicotine consumption on driving
safety, which may provide new knowledge for the sustainable supply chain
management. This paper also attempts to arouse the industry's attention to the nicotine consumption and sleep quality of truck drivers, providing suggestions to improve the sustainability of the supply chain. (Less)
