Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Safety (MBCS) and Spiritual Safety Leadership for Voluntary Safety Practice
Abstract
This research proposes a method for members to voluntarily practice safety within an organization. The overall discussion is based on the concepts of perceived safety and ideal safety. Perceived safety is a safety naturally formed within the organizational culture because it is directly related to the survival of the organization, and members naturally perceive and act on this safety. Ideal safety is a level of safety at which no one is injured, which is not directly related to the survival of the organization, but is the safety that the organization must ultimately achieve, and organizations aim for this safety. Recently, the importance of voluntary safety practice by members is increasing, resulting in an increasing interest in the safety culture. However, when the safety culture is actually applied, the distinction between other safety-concepts is unclear, the organizational culture is not easy to change, and hence the safety culture is not properly improved. Therefore, this research proposes a new framework different from the existing perspective on safety for voluntary safety practice by members based on safety awareness, which consists of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Safety (MBCS) and spiritual safety leadership. In this concept, safety within the organization is regarded as an important value separately from the organizational culture. Members should make intentional efforts separately from the organizational culture based on safety awareness. MBCS is a concept to maintain safety awareness through self-safety cognition, which is developed based on Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) in the field of psychology. Spiritual safety leadership is a concept of forming a safety faith that serves as a fundamental foundation and fuel for members’ self-safety cognition, referring to Spirituality and Religion in the Workplace (SRW) theory and spiritual leadership in the field of leadership. Based on this concept, the organization can pursue ideal safety and the integrity of the organization.
