Q‑sort Data on Artisans’ Hazard Management in Kaduna, Nigeria.

A brief summary of the dataset: The dataset examines how artisans’ cultural beliefs influence hazard management practices on construction sites in Kaduna, Nigeria, utilising Q methodology with pictorial elicitation. Forty artisans from trades such as masonry, electrical work, painting, iron bending, and carpentry took part in Q‑sort exercises, generating rankings and explanations that were analysed through factor analysis. The data reveal four viewpoints—faith‑forward safety integration, stewardship with selective pragmatism, communication‑first advocacy and fatalistic external locus attenuation—consolidated into two main factors explaining 89% of variance. These findings show that fatalism and hierarchical norms can undermine safety, while stewardship, communal rssesponsibility, and advocacy reinforce safer practices. The dataset provides anonymized Q‑sort rankings, elicitation materials, demographic profiles, and analysis outputs, enabling researchers to replicate the study, compare cultural influences across contexts, and design culturally sensitive hazard management strategies relevant to workers, firms, regulators, and policymakers.aset contents本数据集简要说明：本研究针对尼日利亚卡杜纳州建筑工地的工匠群体展开，探讨其文化信仰对施工现场危险源管理实践的影响，采用结合图片启发法的Q方法论（Q methodology）开展研究。本次研究招募了40名来自砖石砌筑、电工、涂装、铁艺折弯以及木工等工种的工匠参与Q分类（Q-sort）任务，收集其排序结果与解释文本，并通过因子分析进行解读。研究数据提炼出四类观点：以信仰为核心的安全融入模式、兼具选择性实用主义的责任式管理、以沟通为先的安全倡导模式，以及宿命论式外部归因弱化模式，上述观点最终整合为两个主因子，可解释89%的方差变异。研究结果表明，宿命论与层级化规范会削弱施工安全，而责任式管理、集体责任与安全倡导则有助于强化安全作业行为。本数据集包含匿名化的Q分类排序结果、启发式调研材料、人口统计学特征资料以及分析输出结果，可供研究人员复刻本研究、对比不同语境下的文化影响，并为面向工人、企业、监管机构与政策制定者的、具备文化适配性的危险源管理策略设计提供支撑。
