Abstract：In the field of coal mining,unsafe behaviors among coal miners are a significant cause of safety ac-cidents.To regulatethe unsafe behaviors of miners and reduce the occurrence of coal mine safety accidents,this paper explores the impact of positive and negative incentives on unsafe behavior intentions and unsafe be-haviors based on the reinforcement theory in incentive theory,using unsafe behavior intentions as a mediating variable.A survey questionnaire was designed,and empirical research was conducted by collecting data from frontline workers of a coal mine in Shanxi and constructing a structural equation model(SEM)of positive in-centives,negative incentives,unsafe behavior intentions,and unsafe behaviors.The results show that spiritual rewards and spiritual punishments significantly negatively affect unsafe behavior intentions,and shame punish-ments significantly negatively affect unsafe behaviors,while unsafe behavior intentions significantly positively affect unsafe behaviors.
