AB  - Over time, thousands of employees were killed due to bad infrastructure, a poor emergency system and a weak health
and safety system in the textile industry of Pakistan. Management needs to identify the workplace hazards to improve
the employees’ performance. The current study was conducted to determine the impact of management practices on
employees’ safety performance in Pakistan’s textile industry. For this purpose, primary data was collected from the
managerial staff of the textile sector. Smart PLS and SPSS 23 were used for data analysis. A total of 180 questionnaires
were sent to the respondents, out of which 165 questionnaires were received back. Organisational health and safety is
considered a management issue; in previous studies, this issue has not been explored by scholars. Organisational
health and safety issue is also considered a general management issue; it continues to be overlooked by scholars in
the management field. The findings show that management commitment, promotion of employees, and safety training
affect the employees’ safety performance. Safety knowledge and safety motivation mediate the relationship between
Management practices and employees’ safety performance. Meanwhile, institutional pressure moderates the
relationship between HR practices and safety knowledge and safety motivation significantly. The findings of this study
provide useful insights for managers in designing the mechanism by which workplace safety can be enhanced.
