K3 has a strategic role in creating a safe and healthy work environment, which not only contributes to reducing the number of occupational accidents and occupational diseases but also has implications for improving employee performance and productivity. However, the relationship between K3 and productivity is not always direct, but rather influenced by psychological and organizational factors, especially organizational commitment and company culture. This study uses the SLR method with PRISMA steps. Articles filtered from the Scopus journal database with the topic The study process is carried out systematically through the stages of identification, screening, feasibility assessment, and determination of final articles in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria that have been set. The results of the study show that the effective implementation of K3 has a positive effect on employee productivity both directly and indirectly. Organizational commitment acts as a mediator that strengthens these relationships through increased employee loyalty, attachment, and responsibility, while a company culture that supports safety values strengthens collective norms and performance orientation in Indonesia, published between 2021 and 2026 in a total of 5,863 articles. After elimination according to the criteria, only 41 articles were considered and extracted. These findings confirm that K3 is not only seen as a regulatory obligation but also as a strategic instrument in human resource management to improve the sustainability and competitiveness of the organization. Theoretically, this study integrates the concepts of K3, organizational commitment, company culture, and productivity in a comprehensive conceptual framework, and practically provides managerial implications in strengthening performance based on work safety.

INTRODUCTION The needs of organizations in facing employee productivity challenges are influenced by various internal factors, one of which is Occupational Safety and Health (K3). The implementation of K3 is not only important to prevent accidents and health problems, but also contributes to increased work productivity through the creation of a safe, comfortable, and supportive work environment for employees' well-being. Recent research shows that effective K3 management practices are significantly correlated with increased employee productivity in various industrial sectors, where increased safety training and risk communication are influential strategies in increasing employee productivity (Surbakti & Arifin, 2025). In addition, another study found that the consistent implementation of the K3 program can increase work productivity with a positive influence on employee welfare in energy sector companies (Edwar et al., 2025). However, the relationship between K3 and productivity is not always direct, as psychological and behavioral factors of employees play an important role as mediators in the relationship. The organizational commitment variable is one of the important elements that strengthen the effect of K3 on productivity. Organizational commitment reflects the level of psychological attachment of employees to the organization's goals and values, which in turn drives higher job loyalty, engagement, and contribution. Research in Indonesia shows that organizational commitment affects employee work productivity, either directly or through other variables such as organizational culture, which strengthens individual performance (Sudrajat et al., 2023). Even in the context of the K3 literature, integrated research found that K3 implementation that is connected to the company culture and commitment of all parties tends to result in higher productivity, which shows the importance of the organization's overall involvement in the implementation of K3 programs (Nelfita et al., 2024). Company culture, as a set of values, norms, and practices that are formed together by all members of the organization, is also an important factor in creating a work environment that supports productivity. A strong organizational culture not only influences work behavior but also facilitates the acceptance and implementation of K3 in daily practice. Empirical studies in various organizations in Indonesia show that organizational culture has a significant effect on employee productivity, although the direction of influence can differ depending on the context and characteristics of the company (Sudrajat et al., 2023). In addition, other literature also emphasizes that K3 culture, as part of organizational culture, can influence productivity through the formation of shared values related to work safety, which ultimately fosters more productive and safe work behaviors (Siregar et al., 2025). A number of studies have also shown a strong link between elements of organizational culture and organizational commitment variables in the context of employee performance. Commitments built from an organizational culture that supports positive working relationships can strengthen employee attachment to the company, thereby 1528 Vol. 4 No. 5 (2026) e-ISSN: 2963-7589 Economic and Business Journal | ECBIS https://ecbis.net/index.php/go/index increasing motivation and productivity (Pebrasari et al., 2025). Similar research shows that work commitment, engagement, and organizational culture have a positive impact on performance and work engagement, which is an important factor in maintaining long-term productivity in modern organizations (Noviyadi et al., 2024). What's more, the current development of the work environment shows a changing demand for the physical and psychological balance of employees. Psychosocial risks such as work stress, performance target pressure, and task uncertainty can reduce the effectiveness of K3 if not balanced with a work culture that supports mental health and strong organizational commitment.
