Abstract: Abstract To explore the mechanism and boundary of the influence of workplace ostracism on unsafe behavior in the post-epidemic era, to effectively curb employees’ unsafe behavior and reduce the occurrence of safety accidents. A conditional process model was constructed using 261 grassroots employees in high-risk industries as respondents, with workplace alienation as the mediating variable and environmental uncertainty as the moderating variable. The standardized regression equations were obtained: Y = 0.245X + 0.076W + 0.052XW, M = 0.216X + 0.262W + 0.178XW. The results of data analysis show that: workplace rejection positively influences unsafe behavior, work alienation plays a mediating role between workplace ostracism and unsafe behavior, and environmental uncertainty can not only positively regulate the relationship between workplace ostracism and work alienation, but also positively regulate the mediating role of work alienation in workplace ostracism and unsafe behavior. Effective management of workplace ostracism, work alienation, and environmental uncertainty can reduce unsafe behavior and the occurrence of safety accidents.
