Academic Words and Expressions in Results and Discussions of Research Articles Figure out the meanings of the following patterns: Table 2 presents the means, standard deviations, and intercorrelations of the variables measured in the study. As can be seen, a positive organizational safety climate was related to fewer reported and unreported accidents. Additionally, as predicted by Hypothesis 2, a positive safety climate was related to fewer total experienced accidents. As would be expected, the organizational safety climate and supervisor enforcement levels were positively correlated, suggesting a moderately strong, but not perfect, relationship between the formal and enacted aspects of climate. Interestingly, supervisor enforcement was more strongly negatively related to both reported and unreported accidents than was safety climate, which may provide support for Zohar’s contention that enacted safety policies may carry greater weight than the formal organizational safety climate. As predicted in Hypothesis 1, we found a significant main effect for under-reporting. More importantly, the two central moderation hypotheses of the study were also supported. As predicted by Hypothesis 3, organizational safety climate was a significant moderator of the relationship between reported and unreported accidents As can be seen in Fig. 1, when the organizational safety climate was perceived to be positive, there was relatively little discrepancy between the number of reported and unreported accidents. However, when the climate was perceived to be poor, the ratio of accident under-reporting significantly increased to more than 3 unreported accidents for every 1 reported. As can be seen in Fig. 2, when employees perceived low levels of supervisor enforcement of safety policies, they were more likely to engage in greater accident under-reporting than when supervisor enforcement was higher. Table 3 lists the most frequently endorsed reasons for not reporting the accide
