of safety issues using 5-Likert scales. The instrument was tested toevaluate its psychometric properties and administered to 11 various
type of hospitals in Jakarta, Indonesia.

The response rate was 68,2%. The psychometric properties of PSC
were good (Cronbach’s α: 0.51 to 0.86, t-scores >1.96, and Q square
pred. relevance= 68. 9%).T he results showed that there were various
scores of 4 dimensions of the PSC. Transformational leadership contributed
