Abstract: This research empirically examines the effect of safety management and sustainable activities on sustainable performance of work safety and workplace environments. The proposed model with developed hypotheses were tested using the data collected from 189 respondents in Korean firms across various industries. The research findings indicate that planning and control systems affect activities of participation and monitoring in supply chain management (SCM) processes, which in turn positively affect sustainable performance. The results of the study present practical implications regarding the relationships among planning and control, participation and monitoring activities, and the performance of work safety and workplace environments. The study also provides new insights and implications regarding firms’ investment strategies for safety management to facilitate sustainable work environments. Activities of participation and monitoring within SCM are especially critical for sustainable safety management and efficient operations.
