Organizations are increasingly using big data and analytics in decision-making, and HR is no exception to this trend. Applications of big data analytics are becoming common in HR with advanced tools being developed for this purpose. However, despite having a good grasp of the basic research methodologies, I-O and HR professionals generally lack the knowledge and skills to use big data analytics in their practice. In addition, the latest guidelines for education and training in industrial-organizational psychology do not even mention the terms “big data” and “analytics”, showing that this concern also extends to graduate education, and the literature is …

Big data is being used by organizations to identify trends and predict future safety incidents. However, analytics using big data relies heavily on data quality, which can be compromised by a lack of data variability. In the safety industry, the data reports most frequently analyzed include checklists that are filled out by managers and operators, and research is being attempted to link the variables from these reports to safety outcomes. A major obstacle is the reduced variability in these reports due to a phenomenon known as “pencil whipping.” Pencil whipping occurs when an employee completes a safety checklist during behavior-based …

Injuries and fatalities continue to occur at high rates across industries (BLS, 2018) despite attempts from researchers and practitioners to identify risks and improve operating procedures. Data analysis is currently used across other industries to improve outcomes, and the safety industry is turning to the use of big data in an attempt to lower injury rates. Despite the growing body of research including both data and safety outcomes, little has been done to understand the mechanisms of one of the most popular intervention techniques, behavior-based safety (BBS). BBS relies on human observation techniques, along with checklists, which increases the amount …
