risk-taking behaviour

Hierarchical View

Definition:

how individuals may react when faced with risk situations

Context:

Some scholars have also applied cross-cultural frameworks to explain possible differences in workers' perceptions and risk-taking behaviour and organisations' performance with regard to occupational safety. Culturally rooted differences have, in some cases and to some extent, been able to explain variations in safety behaviour and performance across work teams, within and/or between (multinational) organisations.
