<![CDATA[The construction industry remains one of the most hazardous sectors due to its high exposure to workplace accidents, making workers' safety behavior a critical factor in preventing occupational injuries. Although occupational safety awareness and safety communication have been recognized as important determinants of safety behavior, limited studies have examined the mediating role of organizational commitment in explaining these relationships. This study investigates the effects of occupational safety awareness and safety communication on workers' safety behavior, with organizational commitment serving as a mediating variable. A quantitative explanatory design was employed using survey data collected from construction workers at PT Truba Jaga Cita Indonesia. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that occupational safety awareness and safety communication positively and significantly influence organizational commitment and workers' safety behavior. Organizational commitment also has a significant positive effect on safety behavior and partially mediates the relationships between occupational safety awareness, safety communication, and safety behavior. These findings suggest that strengthening organizational commitment enhances the effectiveness of individual safety awareness and organizational communication in promoting safe work practices. The study contributes to occupational safety management literature by providing an integrated behavioral model that combines individual and organizational factors in improving safety behavior. Practically, the findings offer guidance for construction companies in developing sustainable safety strategies to reduce workplace accidents and strengthen organizational safety performance.]]>
