This study investigated status of psychosocial safety climate (PSC) among Korean workers. Data were collected from 5,064 wage earners as part of the 4th wave of the Korean Work, Sleep, and Health Study. PSC was measured using the validated 4-item PSC questionnaire. The results revealed an average PSC score of 8.70, with 50.71% of participants classified as high-risk. Significant variations were observed across age, gender, and employment type. These findings suggest that PSC in the Republic of Korea is generally lower than in other countries, highlighting the need for targeted interventions. Disparities in PSC perception across different demographic and occupational groups suggest that targeted strategies are necessary to enhance psychological safety in the workplace. Future research should focus on addressing these perception gaps to create more effective interventions for improving PSC and employee mental health in the Republic of Korea. © 2025 Occupational Safety and Health Research Institute
