THE ROLE OF OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH SAFETY ON THE RISK OF WORK ACCIDENTS WITH COMPENSATION AS A MEDIATING VARIABLE

Based on data on work accidents and occupational diseases in the JKK BPJS Ketenagakerjaan program in 2022, the service sector occupies the second position with the highest number of work accidents. Based on previous findings, Surakarta City has the highest percentage of work accidents (61.8%), while Kebumen Regency has the lowest rate (27.5%). This study aims to analyze the role of Occupational Safety and Health (OHS) in reducing work accidents among GoRide online motorcycle taxi drivers in Surakarta City. The dependent variable in this study is work accidents, with compensation as a mediating variable. The research method used was quantitative, with convenience sampling involving 100 respondents. Data were collected through interviews, questionnaires, and observations with a Likert scale. The data obtained were then analyzed using the SEM-PLS 3.0 analysis tool. The results showed that Occupational Safety and Health (OHS) (X) on work accidents (Y) was significant with a path coefficient value of 0.437 and a P value of 0.025. However, the indirect effect of Occupational Safety and Health (OHS) (X) on work accidents (Y) through compensation as a mediating variable (Z) is not significant, with a coefficient value of 0.194 and a P value of 0.267. This finding indicates that implementing OHS alone is insufficient to reduce workplace accidents but must be supported by policies.
