Inadequate Self-Discipline as a Causal Factor in Human Error Accidents

摘要

The present report is part of a coordinated research initiative sponsored by the US Army Safety Center. The University of Alabama research is examining the possibility of identifying those Army personnel who are at high risk for accidents because of their inadequate self discipline. The project also investigated the effects of motivational programs on safety and made several proposals concerning motivational factors. The University of Alabama research team is also investigating related questions of the degree of accountability for those who have been involved in accidents, and an analysis of the most frequently violated Army procedures.
