摘要：
The importance of safety leadership in the construction industry has been widely recognized. However, previous studies have largely focused on the internal stakeholders in construction projects with no systematic discussion of the importance of safety leadership among the building industry regulators who are important external stakeholders. This study looks at the regulatory, supervisory and service functions of the building industry regulators to analyze the safety leadership characteristics of building industry regulators in terms of their organizational safety goals, leader-member interactions and leadership style. Then, a thematic analysis is used to identify four key dimensions of the building industry regulator safety leadership including leading by example and providing vision and inspiration, concern and respect, performance control, and their indicators. Finally, the results show that Chinese building industry regulators most commonly provide strong control and weak guidance. These findings can help building industry regulators to clearly understand, evaluate and improve their own safety leadership to improve construction industry safety. © 2022, Tsinghua University Press.
